34. The Magic of Reading

In the Arena with the Eyre Sisters

We love reading! But not all of us have always loved reading, and not all of our kids love reading. Join us this week as we discuss ways to help our children discover the magic of reading. We talk about connecting with our kids through books, modeling a love of reading, and being patient with kids who are slower to find that love. What are some ways you help instill a love for reading in your home? We'd love to hear on Instagram, @eyresisters!
