First Chapter Read-Aloud



Rabbit Spring by Tilde Michels

This week I decided to start chapter read-alouds with Aidan. Before we ever had kids John and I had talked about reading to the family at night right before bed. We thought it would be a great "family" thing as well as a great way to read the classics together. Well, since Aidan has the privilege of staying up 30 minutes more than Ainsley, I decided to use the time and do like we had planned.

The first night... Aidan was distracted and didn't want to listen for long. So, we put the book up. However, all the consecutive nights, she has listened and enjoyed it. Admittedly, I was (and still am) unsure as to what degree she was/is listening and understanding... but tonight before we started...she told me exactly what was happening when we had stopped. She also easily answered any questions I threw her way about the story.

Obviously, she's listening enough.
