The lost art of reading aloud

I agree with this NYT opinion piece. I used to real aloud quite a bit and then I lost the habit. Now I do it every night and sometimes during the day as I read to our children. There is something almost magical about trying to gauge the intention of the writer and transmitting it to your listener, just as it is wonderful to see our boys faces light up as they get into the story when you've gotten it right.
