Reading Aloud to Experienced Readers
A few months ago, I started something with my grandson that I didn’t do with my kids. Seeing how much he enjoys it and how important it is, I’m feeling a little guilty my kids missed out.

Listening to an experienced reader is as important to learning how to read and developing fluency as actually reading the words. Reading aloud to kids helps expand their literacy skills, love of reading, worldview, and more.
Last night I had a ‘sleepover’ with my grandson Brayden. Like most four year olds, Brayden loves to read books, or at this stage, have books read to him. And one of his favorite parts of our ‘sleepovers’ is getting jammies on and climbing into bed with a very big stack of books.
