Show notes

After all, being read to is something great, isn't it? That's exactly what LeseLust e.v. does! Today we had a wonderful conversation with Andrea Rübsam - board member of LeseLust e.V. on the topic of reading aloud children's books.

Andrea told us about the life of the association, which books she also likes to read privately and what makes it so special for her to work with children.

What makes reading aloud so special? What is the magic of reading aloud? What do I look for when reading aloud? What effect does reading aloud have on children? These are the questions we dealt with in this episode.

We hope you enjoy listening and look forward to your feedback :D
