Darsa Morrow blogs about why reading aloud is important, even if the child can read on his/her own! Might be a good link to share with parents.
"Darsa Morrow is an elementary school teacher on an extended hiatus to raise her three sons. She created this blog to provide a place for her children and herself to reflect about their reading experiences, as well as to provide a resource for parents and teachers of boys."
