Show Notes
Does your read-aloud time ever devolve into chaos? Do you spend just as much time asking your kids to sit still as you do actually reading?
In this episode, I’m talking about how we can modify our expectations just a bit to make read-aloud time more successful.
Many kids listen better when they’re doing something with their hands (listen to Dr. Michael Gurian talk about that right here).
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- how to keep your kids at read-aloud time longer
- why it’s absolutely OK for kids to be “busy” during read-aloud time
- what kids of all different ages can do while you read aloud
Consider this episode your permission slip for making read-aloud moments easier on you, and happier for your kids.
