We do not need to “sell” books and reading to children. They already love them.  We just need to make sure we don’t diminish their natural joy. Children do not automatically stop loving books as they get older….  we destroy the joy of reading by frustrating them.

And because we are always learning to read - it is so important to take the frustration out of reading. Based on the book The Power of Joyful Reading: Help Your Young Readers Soar to Success (Litwin & Pepin, 2020). This episode shares examples of how to help your children and students love books, love reading, and see themselves as readers!
