How to raise a child that actually loves reading | Readership and Early Childhood.
Raising a child who genuinely enjoys reading is not something parents easily stumble into. It is many intentional efforts that culminate to build readership in children.
In this episode of The CAM Podcast, the podcast host who is also a children’s book author, takes a practical look at what a child’s reading journey can look like in early childhood.
The episode explores what parents can expect at different stages, how to build a reading culture at home, how reading connects to vocabulary and comprehension, and how parents can encourage reading in a childhood increasingly filled with screens, gaming, social media and AI.
