I wish Matt liked to read aloud, but he doesn't (though he has, a few times, at my sweet insistence) I've often joked that if I won the lottery I'd hire a personal assistant whose primary job duties would be to read to me and play with my hair. ;) I might need to assistants, so I can do both simultaneously.BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06449967376288331137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691741652741267481.post-45289668638701677192019-06-28T21:04:39.881-04:002019-06-28T21:04:39.881-04:00Thank you, Clare!

One day, when she was about four she discovered me reading a book. She asked if I didn't know the words because I wasn't reading aloud. clare.elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08246678101002977575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691741652741267481.post-41463079790563031432019-06-28T13:25:41.283-04:002019-06-28T13:25:41.283-04:00Thank you, Jenny!

My daughter and I talked about it and she said, regarding Alexander, that in those days when the written word was more rare, and not everyone could read, it would also be a little selfish not to share a letter with everyone by reading it aloud.<br /><br />Thank you, Lisa!GretchenJoannahttp://www.gretchenjoanna.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691741652741267481.post-4939519784455847052019-06-27T10:56:49.123-04:002019-06-27T10:56:49.123-04:00You're a doll, Elizabeth. xo I was particularl...You're a doll, Elizabeth. xo I was particularly amazed that the words for reading and speaking are the same in those two languages!
