The speaker discusses an alternative approach to teaching reading to kids, highlighting the importance of showing them the immediate and tangible benefits of reading, such as entertainment, friendship, laughter, and problem-solving.
"Most schools and most parents teach reading all wrong. They bully kids into doing it. They pressure them. They tell them, 'Reading is what smart and successful people do.' Then they’re surprised when kids who struggled with reading don’t think they’re smart, and they wonder why kids almost wear illiteracy as a badge of honor. They wonder why people say things like, 'I haven’t read a book since I was forced to in high school.'
Ryan discusses the best way to help your kids fall in love with reading.
