Episode notes

This chapter emphasizes the significance of parents demonstrating reading physical books to their children instead of relying on electronic devices. It discusses the benefits of ebooks and audiobooks but highlights the need for children to see their parents engrossed in physical books to understand the value of reading independently.

There are lots of ways to read, ways that have improved the experience and opened up the world of literature to people who otherwise would have missed out. Ebooks are awesome. Audiobooks are spectacular.

They let you read anywhere. They let you read faster. They let you read while you’re multitasking. All from the convenience of a device in your pocket smaller than the smallest book.

But that’s sort of the problem isn’t it? Your kids have no idea that that is what you’re using your phone for. To them, you could just as easily be on Twitter. You could be answering emails and working like you always do. You could be betting on sports.
