That way, everyone gets to SEE some of the words, and everyone gets to put their own &#8220;spin&#8221; to how they are read! Wish I had thought to do that when the kids were growing up, AFTER they learned to read!!!</p> Reading out loud is really good with small children, and if it is continued after they start reading, they can also take a turn at reading to the group.

I learned that the only way I can understand Shakespeare is to either hear it performed or to read it aloud to myself. Most poetry seems to work the same way.

I get really annoyed with typical college students who don’t read out loud very well–to the point where I’ll carefully pick out the poems I think are the best and volunteer first to read them. I can’t read everything, but I can keep the best ones from being mangled.

We’ve all had close calls of one kind or another in our life for various reasons. The important thing is to learn from them, like you obviously have.

I never knew that he read to you and Noel, or that he was so good at it. I, too, am learning new things about my family!</p> <p>Glad you didn&#8217;t hurt anyone, and that you have decided not to talk on the phone while driving. That makes me feel that you are going to be an even safer driver than you have always been!</p> Thanks for the little tidbit about my baby brother, Diana.

Glad you didn’t hurt anyone, and that you have decided not to talk on the phone while driving. That makes me feel that you are going to be an even safer driver than you have always been!

I actually overheard a car crash on an open microphone once, and it was scary until the speaker (a ham radio operator driving in a snowstorm in Columbus) came back on and let us know he was okay. The ironic part was he was on the air advising others to drive carefully and keep both hands on the wheel when another car slid through a stop sign and into his vehicle. (Nobody can drive in snow in Columbus. They just can&#8217;t.)</p> <p>Dave<br /></p> Diana,
