Read-A-Loud in your Homeschool

 Reading out loud is one of the biggest gifts I received as a homeschooler.  I have the most precious memories of cuddling on the couch with my young children working our way together through our latest story. I was thrilled to find a move called Read Aloud Revival by Sarah M.  She also host an amazing Read-Aloud podcast to encourage you.

"Every child ought to know the pleasure of words so well chosen that they awaken sensibility, great emotions, and understanding of truth "- Gladys Hunt

Over the years here on the blog I have shared numerous of our favourite read out loud books under

•  the Tuesday's Treasures tag I always feel nostalgic when I browse through these selections.
• 5 Days of Australian Literature
• 5 Days of Picture Books
• 3 Books on Aspergers Syndrome
• Our Top six Favourite Chapter Read A Loud
• Our 10 Favourite Caldecott Medal Books
  
• 13 Books to Read at Christmas

What's my all time Favourite Read A Loud ?

Oh my I have a few that have really impacted me.  I think top of the list would be Carry On Mr Bowditch. I so enjoyed this read aloud from Sonlight that I took out our encyclopedia to research him and all it had was a few lines with a reference to this book as the definitive work on the man.

Help where do I start finding great books to read out loud to my family?

• Sonlight Catalogue 
• Honey for a Child's Heart by Gladys Hunt
• A comprehensive list of Books We have Enjoyed
• Book List Resources I have used.

A side note on Learning to read: 

While reading out loud to our children is important as it imparts so many linguistic skills to our children.  One of the most often asked questions is how to teach children to read or why is my child still not able to read?! There are multiple factors that influence your children's ability to learn to read. I wrote a mini five part series on this a few years ago.

The series is not about the different methods used to teach reading but rather about some of the factors that influence a students ability to learn to read.  

• Factors influencing Learning to Read - part 1
• Factors influencing Learning to Read - part 2 
• Factors influencing Learning to Read - part 3
• Factors influencing Learning to Read - part 4
• Factors influencing Learning to Read - part 5

What are some of YOUR favourite Read-A-Louds ?
