Okay, here's the show.

We all want our kids to read, right?

I mean, I think everybody listening to this podcast,

it's safe to say, wants our kids to read probably more than the average adult typically reads when they grow up.

We all know that most adults don't read many books, right, if any books.

I won't get into the statistics here, but we do want our kids to read a lot and we want

them to be lifelong learners. We want them to love reading and to do it for pleasure.

We also kind of do this curious thing where we treat our

kids reading lives pretty differently from how most voracious adults reading lives are. I think this is interesting. It's a weird paradox thing that happens.

One of the things I think is worth considering is how we might help cultivate habits of real readers in our kids.

So that the habits they'll need to continue to be real readers as adults,

they've got practice developing those skills as kids.

And a lot of times those are in direct opposition to how we actually approach reading with

our kids.

It's just really interesting.

Let's talk about it, shall we?

Let's do this.
