About this episode
Shouldn’t helping our kids love reading be the point of literature education?
So why is it that most kids enjoy reading less and less, the further they get into their school years? And why do we insist on using literature curriculum when we know it doesn’t help our kids fall more in love with books?
Today I want to share an easier, simpler, more delightful (and less expensive!) path to giving our kids a fantastic and enjoyable literary education.
On today’s podcast, I dive into why it’s OK to ditch formal literature curriculum, and a better model for moving forward
In this episode:
- our true goal for a solid literary education
- what I do instead of using a literature curriculum
- why reading for academic ‘success’ is kind of defeating the purpose
