I find it very relaxing, for both the listener AND the reader, especially when reading to young children.<br /><br />Thank you so much, Michelle Kathryn, for reading my blog post.

I've babysat a 2 year old who just wanted to turn the pages and hear me talk and I've babysat an 8 year old who wanted me to read her stories as well. It doesn't matter the age; children love to be read too.

Think about the books on tape. Someone is reading the book to you. I'm always listening to books as I do household chores. Of course, I must admit that I am studying how, exactly, the writer has put his or her story together. [The writer mindset!] <br /><br />Thanks so much, Lynda, for stopping by my blog.

You're right. They do save us, many times. <br /><br />I also bring in a few grade appropriate "science" items, i.e. Sugar, Sequoia, and Redwood pinecones, baby conch sea pods, especially if I've been subbing for the same class for a few days.<br /><br />Thank you, Theresa, for stopping by and reading my blog post. It is truly appreciated.
