Plunk a few read-aloud books on your kitchen counter in the morning, and see if that doesn’t inspire you to read a little more often than if the books were tucked away, alphabetized on the bookshelves, or stored neatly in a basket under the table in the living room. Put your books front and center. Keep them handy. Then you don’t have to go out of your way when it’s time to read aloud, because the books are right there.
