What if you could singlehandedly boost literacy rates and enrich your family's culture with just ten minutes a day? Join me, as I reflect on nostalgic classroom moments from my childhood and share the heartwarming stories of families who find joy and connection through nightly read-aloud sessions. This episode is packed with insights and anecdotes that illuminate the lasting impact reading aloud can have on children and their families, extending well beyond early childhood and into the teenage years. This episode highlights how storytelling not only captivates us as humans but also nurtures complex ideas and emotional bonds.
