[quote=Anonymous]Lots of interesting responses. DS is a fairly amazing reader, great comprehension and an insatiable desire to read. Even at 11, he loves when I read aloud before he goes to bed. On car trips we listened to books on tapes. I lived in a group house during my junior year abroad, and we took turns reading aloud. I plan to do this as long as is plausible. What I think some PPs are missing is that reading aloud is not just for literacy, but also a way to foster intimacy and communication. DS is most likely to share with me in these unguarded moments. And it can also be a form of entertainment. May sound quaint in this day and age, but my friends with what seems like the most healthy home life read aloud, play charades, and engage in a lot of "old-fashion" activities. [/quote]
