About this listen
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.

great book! i think it needs a sequel for more
loved the authors voice & enjoyed listening to her. the content of the book itself was also good, but i felt it needed more chapters, as it didnt cover things i think parents definitely need help with, such as how to deal with a hesitant kid who simply doesnt like/want read aloud time (at first) im 100% confident that could be overcome, but also certain many parents wouldnt know how to approach it. thats just one example that i feel needed to be in this book. still, definitely worth a buy, and the audiobook comes with extras like a printable booklist and added podcast at the end which does expand on more info. i would normally prefer the hard copy of a book but in this instance i recommend the audiobook instead, since it offers more.

Excellent book about reading aloud to children
Wonderfully written and passionately narrated by the author herself. Highly recommend for parents to get inspired to read to their children as much as possible.

Wonderful!
The Read-Aloud Family is a wonderfully encouraging book about how we can help our children’s education and enrich their lives, and our own, through reading aloud to them. Sarah’s narration is a delight to listen to, and her enthusiasm is infectious! I loved it.
