In this week's podcast, I urge parents to do whatever they can to help their children become avid readers.

In my opinion, a student's academic upside (e.g. GPA, SAT, AP, college acceptances) is highly correlated to their relationship with reading.

This relationship comes in three stages: 

Stage 1: avid reader

Stage 2: non-reader

Stage 3: anti-reader

My four sons have fallen into all three categories. 

Learn the strategies and tactics I've used to try to keep my sons out of Stage 2 and 3. Some successful, most unsuccessful.

Don't procrastinate in listening to this episode. For many of us, the window of opportunity to influence this relationship is closing quickly.
