We have an obligation to read aloud to our children. To read them things they enjoy. To read to them stories we are already tired of. To do the voices, to make it interesting, and not to stop reading to them just because they learn to read to themselves. Use reading-aloud time as bonding time, as time when no phones are being checked, when the distractions of the world are put aside. β¨ Neil Gaiman (2016). The View from the Cheap Seats: Selected Nonfiction, p.14, HarperCollins
