Scholastic’s Kids and Family Reading Report is a national survey of children ages 6–17 and their parents that explores attitudes and behaviors around books and reading.
In this episode, I’m joined by author, Vice President, and Editor-at-Large at Scholastic, Andrea Davis Pinkney. We talk about what the most recent report means for us as parents–and there’s a lot for us in there!
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- why we need to build home libraries, and how to do that without breaking the bank
- what kids are really hoping they’ll find in the books they read
- how to make our kids readers for life (listen until the end for five ‘Reading Resolutions’)
