RAR #77: What the Scholastic Reading Report Means for You, Andrea Pinkney

Scholastic’s Kids and Family Reading Report is a national survey of children ages 6–17 and their parents that explores attitudes and behaviors around books and reading.

In this episode, I’m joined by author, Vice President, and Editor-at-Large at Scholastic, Andrea Davis Pinkney. We talk about what the most recent report means for us as parents–and there’s a lot for us in there!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• why we need to build home libraries, and how to do that without breaking the bank
• what kids are really hoping they’ll find in the books they read
• how to make our kids readers for life (listen until the end for five ‘Reading Resolutions’)
