We’re Back!


 It has been some time. But now it is time to get back to Mad for Reading! 



The reading education landscape has been changing. Think: AI, all kinds of screens, and a pivot to emphasizing the teaching of phonics in school. Big changes! 

However, Mad for Reading is still–and always will be–devoted to the idea that reading with children of all ages is so important for their emotional development and is also a predictor of a lifelong love of reading and learning.  

So stay tuned for new posts about reading with children!   


With love,

Mad for Reading 


 PS  Please share your photos of children (first names only) reading–with friends, babies, adults, dogs, stuffies …


 PPS   Guest posts are welcome. Let me know!

What I think . . .

There are all kinds of readers. Some—like my daughter and me—are never without a book to read for pleasure. Others—like my son—are careful, analytical, and curious readers who read primarily to seek information from the page.


No matter what kind of reader your child becomes, you can help him or her get started. After all, you are your child’s first teacher. And, best of all, you can have some fun in the process.


Please feel free to share your own ideas. Tell me about ways you've enjoyed reading with your child.
