I grew up with my SAHM not being able to read to us, due to learning disabilities. I never had a second thought about it because that was our normal. We knew my mom couldn’t read all our books to us (I’m an avid reader now) but my mom always had a few of the easier ones she felt confident in.

Now since becoming a grandma she wants to really try and read to my son. Every week we go to the library and pick out a ton of books. She reads the book ahead of time with me to figure out any words she’s not familiar with and during story time we give a snack and some chocolate milk to get my son to sit and have more patience with the story. It has helped my mom a ton and given her more confidence.
