If you have time, take a look at this short article. It shares information about the importance of reading aloud to your older kids. http://www.readbrightly.com/importance-of-reading-aloud-to-big-kids/
If you’re wondering “What books should I read to my older kids?” … well, check this page out and scroll down and take a look at the lower right section of the page. Book Lists! http://www.readbrightly.com/great-read-aloud-books-older-kids/ While I have not read all of these, I can tell you that “The Iliad” is a challenging and exciting classic… and “The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane” is pretty darn awesome.
And for my adventure-loving families out there, if you like escape rooms and breakout games, try reading “Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library” with your kiddos. Its fun.
Happy Reading,
