He&#39;d never have read it himself, but he really enjoyed it. And when he mentioned to one of his friends that I was reading to him, said friend was very impressed/jealous :-) I think my sister and her boyfriend read to each other as well.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11434203006496814327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822018662815379685.post-58896753629045466862012-06-19T23:28:15.015+01:002012-06-19T23:28:15.015+01:00I used to like being read to as a child too, and f...I used to like being read to as a child too, and funnily enough I got the audio books from the library for the Harry Potter books, and it was lovely having Stephen Fry read them to me (and the kids). <br /> <br />I had to laugh at the thought of you hanging upside down listening to your mother read to you!<br /><br />After reading what Anonymous^ said about reading out loud, I read the rest of the comments out loud, but can now say that I don&#39;t like the sound of my own voice.Little Blue Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13616392505984609128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822018662815379685.post-47021240455273716792012-06-19T22:25:44.881+01:002012-06-19T22:25:44.881+01:00Dear N, what an absolutely lovely comment to recei...Dear N, what an absolutely lovely comment to receive this evening - thank you so much for taking the time to let me know that you enjoy my blog.

What are you enjoying reading with them at the moment? <br /><br />My youngest is dyslexic too and reading aloud is lovely as his comprehension far surpasses his reading ability, so this way it means his enjoyment of more complex books isn&#39;t kept out of reach. <br /><br />You&#39;re right - it&#39;s a marvellous maxim and one that I&#39;m trying to keep in my head.Florence (Flossie Teacakes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09024138702384185444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822018662815379685.post-20192658255562096182012-06-19T14:22:02.438+01:002012-06-19T14:22:02.438+01:00I love the idea of being kinder than is necessary....I love the idea of being kinder than is necessary.

It was the start of her love of literature and something that we share and has brought great pleasure to us both. The days of reading stories aloud are long gone sadly but I never miss an opportunity for reading bits of the current book I&#39;m reading, newspaper articles or things on the computer like blogs (I shall probably read this out for instance). I apparently do love the sound of my own voice - it&#39;s not appreciated as it once was though! Being read to was also something I enjoyed as a child, even books chosen at school by the teacher which I wouldn&#39;t have chosen like the hobbit were much loved. The Silver Sword was another book I first had read to me. I re-read it as an adult and still loved it. No one is reading aloud to me these days. Just the odd audio book now.<br /><br />It&#39;s lovely to read of you taking the time but also choosing to read something that can make such a difference in attitudes. If only all parents encouraged empathy, understanding and kindness to others, wouldn&#39;t the world be a nicer place?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822018662815379685.post-75435052269088521812012-06-19T12:16:05.500+01:002012-06-19T12:16:05.500+01:00I&#39;m AWFUL at reading books that make me cry, I...I&#39;m AWFUL at reading books that make me cry, I normally just give up on them, I can&#39;t cope with the emotional roller coaster!
