Today we discuss the amazing power of reading aloud.  We talk about the tremendous benefits from simply reading to your children.  There are so many positives that have been found from the act of listening to stories as a child.  It is a key in their mental development and builds their imagination which will serve them well as they grow.  Turn off the electronics and put down the phones.  Pick up a book and read together as a family and travel to distant countries, meet world leaders, and blast into far away galaxies.  All these adventures are just a turn of the page.  If you have any questions or comments send us an email at thehomeschoolprojectpodcast@gmail.com and follow us on Instagram at homeschool_project_podcast  We hope you enjoy.
