This great book is the new READ ALOUD HANDBOOK with wonderful examples. I just ordered 3 copies of the paperback for new parents and grandparents in my friend's circle. My new Go-to baby gift. I am offering a presentation about this book and this phenomenon at my local Indie bookstore. Who knows if it will resonate with local readers.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283064190423696280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4899893125552679366.post-12354757017986215562021-07-19T09:40:24.014-04:002021-07-19T09:40:24.014-04:00Thank you.

Even with the oldest (although she is super social, so she misses the people interaction from school). I never thought I'd homeschool, but it has ended up being so, so good for us. Glad to hear it's working for you as well! C.G.

It's brought good connections. We still have difficulties, but it's been great to bond over read alouds.Cryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12427185814662529370noreply@blogger.com
