Ep 72- The Importance of Reading with Your Kids with Sarah Boots Part I

Sarah Boots from Altogether Lovely Collective joins me to discuss the importance of reading with your children. Sarah is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to good, wholesome books and resources for the home!  In this episode, we answer the question, "What are the benefits of reading to children?" Actually, we only cover the tip of the iceberg because the answer to this question holds such depth! Sarah discusses educational and relational benefits that come when parents connect with their children through reading. Educational benefits include: -Increased vocabulary -Reading comprehension -Background knowledge and data connection   Relational benefits include:  -Exposure to good literature -Opportunity to have deep or hard conversations -Books give a broad perspective on the world and life -Physical bonding -Develop bravery and courage   Join us in the next episode for part 2 of this discussion as we answer questions such as, "Is reading aloud only for families with little children?", "How do you get your children to fall in love with books?", "What about audiobooks?", and "Where can you find wholesome book recommendations?"   Resources: Altogether Lovely Instagram Page Altogether Lovely Collective Website Altogether Lovely Facebook Page   Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.
