Yesterday's Classics

Below is part of an e-mail that I got from Yesterday's Classics. I have included this in my library blog since the S.V.H.E. Co-op has offered writing classes frequently. Some of the writing classes have been Andrew Pudewa's. " To be a good writer you must first be a good reader," is basically what Andrew Pudewa is saying. Taking this thought I urge you to encourage your children to read and read. But more than that I also encourage you to read to your children.

DO YOU STILL READ ALOUD TO YOUR CHILDREN?
Many parents stop reading aloud to their children as soon
as they can read for themselves. That is exactly what you
should NOT do, according to Andrew Pudewa in a lecture I
attended last month. To learn why, listen to a version of
this lecture recorded several years ago (which Andrew
suggested I post on my website):

It is a long lecture, about an hour and a half, but using
the audio control you can listen to it, a little bit
at a time.
