The Read-Aloud Family

Making Meaningful and Lasting Connections with Your Kids

By: Sarah Mackenzie

Narrated by: Sarah Mackenzie

Discover practical strategies to make reading aloud a meaningful family ritual.

The stories we read--and the conversations we have about them--help shape family traditions, create lifelong memories, and become part of our legacy. Reading aloud not only has the power to change a family--it has the power to change the world.

But we all know that connecting deeply with our families can be difficult in our busy, technology-driven society. Reading aloud is one of the best ways to be fully present with our children, even after they can read themselves, but it isn't always easy to do. Discover how to:

• Prepare your kids for academic success through reading to them
• Develop empathy and compassion in your kids through books
• Find time to read aloud in the midst of school, sports, and dinner dishes
• Choose books across a variety of sibling interests and ages
• Make reading aloud the best part of your family's day

The Read-Aloud Family also offers age-appropriate book lists from infancy through adolescence. From a toddler's wonder to a teenager's resistance, you will find the inspiration you need to start a read-aloud movement in your own home.

Absolutely wonderful!!

I enjoyed every minute of this book and can’t wait to get our collection of books and start reading aloud with my kids!

Fantastic! Encouraging, helpful, inspiring!

Changed my parenting outlook

Loved it and really made me think about what I prioritize! Good quality info and extremely entertaining. Couldn’t stop listening!

Encouraging and Enlightening

I very much enjoyed listening to Sarah narrate. Wether you are on the fence about the value of reading-aloud or are already a devoted read-aloud family, this book is for you. Thank God for her willingness to impart all this wisdom and information related to this most important topic.

Highly recommend!!!

Love, love, love this book!!! As a Homeschool family that does read-alouds in our family, we do know how important they are. This book has helped me realize just how important!! We will definitely be following a more pro-active read-aloud schedule in our family. I learned of so many books we have never heard about from Sarah's wonderful recommendations in this book. This book has inspired me so much, I was sad this audiobook was over!! (Isn't that the sign of a great book, Sarah? 😉)
