Pamela Paul and Maria Russo want to encourage our children to develop a lifelong love of reading. They presented insight from their book How to Raise a Reader, an illustrated journey offering clear, practical wisdom for instilling a love of literature in our kids. In conversation with author Maria Semple, Paul and Russo presented curated reading lists and inspiring advice for developing rituals around reading, building a family library, or finding ways to engage a reluctant reader. They debunked common myths, assuaged parental fears, and delivered invaluable lessons that are both positive and easy to act on. Listen in as Paul, Russo, and Semple explored new and lively approaches to cultivating a love of reading in younger generations.
