THAT SOUNDS FUN NETWORK
About this episode

Sarah Mackenzie is here!!! Sarah Mackenzie is here!!!

Sarah's Mackenzie's book, The Read-Aloud family transformed our family and I was so honored to get a chance to talk with her about it. In this episode we are talking about the simple power of the read-aloud and so much more!

Sarah explains why reading aloud remains crucial even as children grow and become independent readers. She explains the unique benefits that reading aloud offers, such as enhanced language absorption and the nurturing of sophisticated linguistic patterns that are not often used in daily speech. She shares personal anecdotes demonstrating how these shared reading experiences can fortify family bonds, increase empathy, and encourage more profound discussions among family members.

Additionally, Sarah provides practical tips for integrating reading into busy family life, embracing imperfection, and using books to foster a lifelong love of reading and learning. This episode is a must-listen for parents seeking to cultivate deeper connections with their children through the simple, yet powerful act of reading aloud.
