RAR #154: When Your Child Doesn’t Love Reading


Listen Later

We know that we want our kids to love to read. And it’s important (really important!) to give them the best chance fall in love with books. That’s why so many of us get worried when we have a child who doesn’t love reading. It’s a valid worry. 

What can be done about it? 

On today’s episode of the podcast, I share ideas for what to do when your child doesn’t love reading. We can’t exactly make our kids into readers, but we can give them the best chance possible that they’ll become readers for life. And it’s a lot of fun to do so!

In this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing simple tips to help your kids become voracious readers, and why the single most important part of your child’s school day is free, voluntary reading. 

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Why free, voluntary reading is the power player in your child’s reading life
  • Thoughts from experts in the field on building lifelong readers
  • How to help our kids choose books they’ll love

I also answer a listener question about what to do if your child is intimidated by lots of words on the page.
