Whatever happened to reading a book with your kid and running your finger along the words?
Just saw an ad for yet another electronic reader where it reads to your child. Why? Someone please explain to me why this is necessary. Are parents too busy these days to take 10 minutes and read a couple of books to their children?
pretty much yeah. i remember the teddy rumskin. it was a teddy bear that you put a tape in and it “read” you the story with it’s robotic moving mouth and freaky sounding voice. oh how i hated that thing.
my parents didn’t have lots of time to read to me and yet i was still read stories all the time. i was read whatever they were reading. the newspaper, the directions on how to make something (dinner), car manuals, and a host of other things.
