I love this time of year, when the internet is flooded with best-of lists. The best movies. The best books. The best gadgets, even. It\u2019s such a clever way to encapsulate a period of time, to whittle it down to the things that stood out and to celebrate excellence. But who decides what makes the cut? At Teach. Learn.

I remember reading to my son when he was just a few days old. I propped him against my chest and balanced Little Blue Truck <\/em>on my thighs. His eyes were still learning how to make sense of the world around him, but I like to think he enjoyed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s in second grade now, and we still don\u2019t let a bedtime come and go without at least a little reading time together. Sometimes, we each grab a book and booklight and read side by side in the dark. Mostly, I read to him with a proper lamp on, and we haggle over the number of pages we have time for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
