RAR #203: What Do Your Kids Read for Fun in High School?
About this episode
Do your kids read for fun in high school?
According to Dr. Daniel Willingham in Raising Kids Who Read, the average high schooler reads 6 minutes per day for pleasure. What that really means, he explains, is that a few kids read for pleasure quite a lot… and most don’t read for pleasure at all.
Karen recently called in to ask me what my own kids read for fun in high school… and I’ve got lots of suggestions in this post!
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- deciding what goal you have for your high schooler’s reading life
- whether high school reading should be “hard”
- tons of recommendations from my teens and adult children (weird, I now have 2 of those!)
