Join us on this journey as we spotlight talented authors and their beautiful books. Books that act as tools to create dialogue and bond with our children.

How Parents and Teachers Model a Love for Reading w/ Melissa Nikohl
Ever wonder why some kids take to reading a bit more than others?
Especially at home, when you ask them to read aloud, they may feel like it's a school assignment rather than an engaging activity.
We play an important role in modeling reading for our kids. Children learn through observation and modeling, and we, as caregivers (teachers too!), are the main influencers to motivate them to read more.
Melissa Nikhol has been an educator for 11 years and actively advocates for parents and students. As an educator, Melissa makes sure to find time and be a role model to read to her students and support parents by giving them tips in building the children's foundational skills to learn at home.
One of her most useful guides in diverse reading is The Ultimate List of Diverse Picture Books.
In this episode, we discuss how parents and teachers can work together to encourage children to read in a fun way. Melissa talks about the pressure expectation on caregivers, the importance of finding the children's interests, and how to foster a love for reading.
