Jack would like to share a public service message:
Read Aloud
Read to your children, your parents, your companion, your pets, your plants, yourself.
Reading aloud has many benefits some of which are explained in this interview with Jim Trelease: http://www.greatschools.org/students/7104-read-aloud-to-children.gs
Mr. Trelease encourages reading aloud not just for vocabulary but to develop a love of reading and a way to explore different ideas and the lives of people outside of our individual experiences. He even encourages high school teachers to read to their students to help them develop into life-time readers-not just school-time readers.
Jack prefers picture books (as you can see from the picture!) but you can read aloud any book-just start reading!
