As we dive into Gurdon’s The Enchanted Hour: The Miraculous Power of Reading Aloud in the Age of Distraction, let’s step back and reflect on and share our own reading histories. I’m going to toss out a number of questions to help stimulate your thinking. Feel free to draw on some of these questions for your New Post or follow your own interests in reflecting on and describing your own reading history:
–What do you remember about your earliest reading experiences?
–Do you remember being read to? If so, who read to you and what do you remember about it? –What did you like to read along with and listen to?
–Do you remember learning to read? Was that a happy experience or a fraught one, and why?
