The Magic of Reading Aloud

Den meningsfulla högläsningen is a wonderful book about reading aloud to children by Anne-Marie Körling. I borrowed it from the Huskvarna public library—here’s the link to the library copy. It’s surprisingly easy to read and I gained so much insights and tips from the 64-page book.

For now, it seems that Mister Pops the cat is getting the most from my reading aloud. It turns out being read aloud to is rather comforting. Nu förstår jag why he always comes to sit by my side and purrs whenever I start babbling out loud. I think to myself:

Han gillar mig, men hur vet jag det? För jag läser högt!
(In English: He likes me, but how do I know? Because I read aloud!)
