Many kids are back to school this week. They're cracking open their books and learning about migrating butterflies, where France is on a map, or what happens when you add vinegar to baking soda. There's so much information, and so many stories to be found between the covers of a book. But how do you get children excited about reading? We had two guests on Just Asking to help answer your questions about kids and reading. Marc Joanisse is a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Western University. Katelyn Bryant is a psychologist and assistant director of the Mary J. Wright Child and Youth Development Clinic.
