Best of RAR: Reading for Fun is More Important than You Think

Read-Aloud Revival ®

Lately here at RAR we’ve been talking about reading for refreshment—reading for the pure joy of it—and how our own reading lives can be a source of energy and joy even in the throes of the busiest seasons of motherhood.

This week on the podcast, we're revisiting an episode that dives into why reading isn’t just good for us and our kids, but why reading for fun is also an important part of our jobs.

In this episode, we talk about why it’s so important and what it does for our kids and for us. I hope you’ll be inspired to ramp up the reading for fun in your own life, no matter what else you have on your plate.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How modeling your own love for reading helps your kids fall in love with reading for life
• Why even short reading breaks are beneficial
• Tools and resources to help you step away from the laundry and make time to read
