Before Laura Martin ever authored her amazing Edge of Extinction series, she was a middle school language arts teacher. And her specialty was helping kids resistant to reading fall in love with books.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • some of her favorite tips to get your kids not just reading more, but really loving books
  • ideas for organizing books by genre and helping your children create a “someday list.”
  • and why kids who want to be writers should be listening to more books than they’re reading

Plus: a couple of my kids make an appearance in this episode. They are the ones responsible for introducing me to this fabulous series, after all!
