Do I need to read aloud to my older children who can read books themselves?
The time spent reading aloud with your kids offers so many benefits. Besides the time spent together it’s the perfect time to discuss events, relationships, moral issues – all through the books you choose to read. Read alouds can become the stepping stone to many conversations. It’s also the best way to share books that they might not read on their own. Keep reading to those older kids – you won’t be disappointed!
