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.
