Parents, there are a number of ways you and your child can share the great books and enrich both of your reading experiences. Try picking a book to read together and discuss your opinions as you both read. Or choose a text like The Odyssey that lends itself to being read aloud, and take turns reading with your child. Listen to an audio recording of one of the classics while you're on a family trip. A great reader can bring these books to life for listeners of all ages and backgrounds.
