Hi Sarah. Hi Sarah. My name is Holly. Hi Sarah. My name is April. I'm in Melbourne, Australia.

I have a question about my name is Julie Ann and we live in India. I am wondering,

Hi Sarah. This is Crystal from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Can you give me a suggestion for an especially fabulous book?

Hey there. I'm Sarah McKenzie. This is the Read-A-Loud Revival. And in this short episode,

I'm answering one of your questions. Hi Sarah. This is Claire from Texas. I have a question

about screens and the impact it has on your child's love of reading. How much is too much? What is your

healthy way without letting it take over their life. Because I know that after my kids leave my

home, they're not going to have no a no screen life. So I would like to as they're growing

this in his book or if he said it on the podcast episode he was on with me for and I can't remember

which number of episode that was. So we'll put it in the show notes. If you want to listen to Dr.
