Do you enjoy listening to books on audio? I would imagine the answer to that is yes because you're listening to this podcast. Now i want you to imagine your child reading, and you're so proud and they can read at such a high, independent level. But there's something missing. They are never read to aloud. They are not afforded the luxury and enjoyment of listening to their mother or father reading aloud to them. Some would say that this is good because they are learning to cultivate the love of reading by reading. But I challenge you to listen today to hear what Jim Weiss has to say about reading aloud to children of all ages.WHAT WE TALK ABOUTThe benefits of reading aloudWhat ages you should read aloud topreparing to read aloud stamina when reading aloudcharacter voiceshow to embrace reading aloud if you don't enjoy itRESOURCESJim Weiss WebsiteFacebook Group for Classical HomeschoolersRecipe for Storytelling HandoutCarol ReynoldsGet a Free Audible Credit!

Making the decision to homeschool is a big choice, but I would argue that equally important is ensuring that you've done the research to know how you want to homeschool. There are tons of options or philosophies, or perspectives. And today we're talking with Jennifer Dow from the Paideia Fellowship, all about the history of classical education.
