On Reading To Your Kids (And Yourself!)

“A good vocabulary is not acquired by reading books written according to some notion of the vocabulary of one’s age-group. It comes from reading books above one."

- The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, cited in Roverandom, xvi.

This is why I love it when reading to my kids they often stop me to ask for definitions of words.
