EPISODE #74: How to Teach Your Child to Read

In this episode, we’ll discuss the historical literacy trends in the United States and what’s behind it. Why do most of us believe that teaching reading is hard and best left to the “professionals?” Why are we told over and over that ordinary parents can’t do it properly?

We’ll also talk about what it takes to teach your kids to read and the best resources for your toolbox. In this episode, I’ll give you my best tips on how to teach your child to read.

Resources from today’s episode:

  • National Assessment of Adult Literacy survey results
  • Current U.S. Literacy Rate Statistics
  • Passion-Driven Education by Connor Boyack (information on Common Sense taken from this excellent book!)
  • The Underground History of American Education by John Taylor Gatto
  • Ordinary Parent’s Guide to Teaching Reading
  • Bob Books
  • All About Reading
