What do you do if you notice that your child isn’t finishing books?

How can you get your kids to widen their reading taste outside of a single genre?

How can you describe what you do for literature on a high school transcript when you take a more relaxed Read-Aloud Revival approach to the subject?

And what can you do to help boost your child’s emotional intelligence and reading comprehension while reading?

Today, I’m answering listeners’ questions about their kids’ reading habits, from bouncing from book to book to getting stuck in a genre rut, and more.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Is it okay if your child is reading from rather than through? • How can we expand our child’s reading repertoire (without assigning them books)? • How to describe literature on a high school transcript • How picture books can help a child having difficulty with social and emotional cues
