You will never regret reading aloud to your kids. Connecting deeply with your family can be difficult in our busy, technology-driven society. Reading aloud is one of the best ways to be fully present with your children, even after they can read themselves. In The Read-Aloud Family, you will find the inspiration you need to start a read-aloud movement in your own home.

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 discover practical strategies to make reading aloud a meaningful family ritual. Because reading aloud not only has the power to change your family—it has the power to change the world.

SARAH MACKENZIE is an author, speaker, and founder of the immensely popular Read-Aloud Revival podcast. She lives in Spokane, Washington with her husband, Andrew, and their six kids. She loves making sure her family is well-stocked in the best books she can find.
