Make Read-Aloud Time a Family Moment
Reading aloud can bring different ages together around one story, even when everyone joins in a different way.
A small way to begin
One person can read while others listen, look at the pictures, or take turns with a line. Keep the gathering casual and welcoming.
Make it your own
Choose a story that works for the youngest listener, then let older children add questions or observations. Shared attention matters more than perfect silence.
