About this episode
That’s right … Kate DiCamillo is back! And what she has to say is so good, you might find yourself listening more than once.
In this new episode, Kate and I chat about her newest book, Beverly, Right Here, and we also discuss why parents and teachers so often try to quantify what our kids are getting from books.
We have some ideas about how we could better help kids develop their own robust reading life.
I also answer a listener question about how to read aloud with highly visual kids (kids who really want pictures to go along with their books).
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- why the kinds of questions we ask our kids about books matter
- how to keep joy in reading
- what Kate really wants readers to get from her books
