A few days ago I felt like reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe to my 4 year old duaghter.  I figured we would read a chapter or two every night.  My wife was in the room as well and so it ended up being the whole family listening to the story (not that the youngest two knew what was going on).  Last night as I was waiting for everybody to get in the room so that I could continue reading, I realized how enjoyable reading to my family is.  This surprised me, especially since I read to my children quite a lot.  But there is something special about reading a longer story to the entire family (I suppose it also helps that it is a classic children’s story).

If you’ve never done it, try it.  Turn the TV, computer, and game systems off and grab a book for the whole family to enjoy together.
