What can a university professor say about the value of reading aloud for future academic and relational success? A lot, actually. If that professor is also a mother of many, she’ll lend a perspective on fitting read-aloud time into busy family life, and the value of even five minutes a day spent diving into a story with your kids. In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Catherine Pakaluk from. She shares: • why students who have been read aloud to fare better than their peers in college • how she carves out time to make reading aloud a priority as a working mother of seven • and why even five minutes a day can add up to a whole heck of a lot of reading. I'd like to receive the free email course. Send it to me Episode 9 Show Notes: (Some links are ) • Links to Dr. ![]() Joseph Price’s research, which Dr. Pakaluk references on the show:,, • – free audio stories read every week by Natasha Gostwick and friends • – lots of free audio books (especially classics) • Sarah recommends everything published by • is a thriving college that emphasizes truth and beauty in the hearts and minds of its students. Did you know that about? Books from this episode: (All links are ). I’m really loving your podcasts! I read Jim Trelease’s book last Fall and that got me on the read-aloud bandwagon! I have a question about kids who are resistant to reading aloud. Boy loves listening to me read and would be happy to listen all day long. Boy has never liked reading as much and he actually sabotages our reading time. Even if I encourage him to do something quietly by himself he will do everything he can to keep us from reading! Any tricks & tips to get more reading time in and deal with his sabotage?! Is there a toy ( legos or play doh etc) that he loves? You could make it so that toy only comes out during reading time. I have a 5 yr old Tasmanian Devil too. Do you have a mini tramp or an extra mattress you don’t care about? We have an extra mattress in our bedroom so when he is being very disruptive I challenge him with “I bet you can’t jump to 100”. He laughs and jumps away. If he still has energy, i bump it to 200. Usually by then he is tuckered out enough to listen or at least play quietly. I do keep reading while he is jumping. I usually lower my voice and that seems to keep his noise down because he decides he really does want to hear. Hope that helps. Last summer (2015) I had another baby (born with special needs and alot of doctor appointments) I started homeschooling Kindergarten for my oldest and honestly I just survived. He is a wiz at math but reading, not.his.thing. Thank- goodness it was just Kinder. That said, I have been faithful this summer to do my OWN homework and get my OWN education to how to bring reading to life for my now 1st grader. We had a great reading summer. This website/podcast has been a breath of fresh air for my soul, my mind and for our family. I can’t tell you how excited I am. I have picked out a few nuggets from your interviews and really started to be faithful in our reading routines. I am so blessed by you and by each of these speakers. Being that I am getting all this great information while my kids are still young gives me the confidence and the perspective I needed. These are fabulous master classes for even the ‘so called’ educated like me with a few masters degree. Keep them coming!!
