Show Notes

In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to talk with your kids about books. Specifically, we’re talking about open-ended questions, which you’ve probably heard us talk about before here at Read-Aloud Revival.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

  • How to make book conversation a habit
  • How open ended questions are a form of narration
  • How to talk about books even if you haven’t read them yourself
