RAR #180: Reading A Book a Day with Older Kids and Teens

Aug 3, 2021
40:22

We’re all on board with reading picture books to our younger kids, but that has to stop at some point, right?

Ohhhhhh no. No, it does not. 


What do our kids stand to gain… and how on earth can we read picture books with older kids and teens? A lot. 


Here at RAR, we’re always saying that there is nothing a novel can give your kids that a picture book can’t. Honestly, a picture book might just be able to do it better, with an art gallery to match.


In this episode, we’re breaking down how to get big kids and teens on board with reading picture books, what they can gain from them, and we’re also sharing some book ideas we think they’ll love.


In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • No such thing as reading levels for picture books – and what this means for you
  • Strategies for inviting teens into exploring picture books
  • Recommendations for big kids and teens (📚)
