RAR #172: Helping Our Developing Readers Fall in Love with Books

Feb 9, 2021
39:17

Learning to read can be hard. And when our kids are still learning to read fluently and well, helping them fall in love with books can feel impossible.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. 

In today’s episode, I’m going to show you how to help your kids fall in love with stories, and tell you why it will help them more to keep reading aloud than to cram in another long phonics lesson.

In this episode, you'll hear:

  • a reminder that learning to read is a little like climbing a mountain! ⛰️
  • the key to getting our kids reading (hint: it’s NOT endless phonics practice)
  • how to become a book match-maker for your child
