Ep. 236 Revisited | The Death of Reading

from PrepWell Podcast with Phil Black · host Phil Black

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 readerStage 2: non-readerStage 3: anti-readerMy 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.Follow us:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enroll in PrepWell Academy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Give us a reviewShare this episode with a friendJoin our mailing list (by opting in on the homepage or in this article)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enroll⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ your 9th or 10th grader in the programPrepWell Academy's Founder, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Phil Black⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, has spent a lifetime cracking the code on the world's most competitive programs: Yale University, Harvard Business School, Navy SEALs, Goldman Sachs, Entrepreneurship, Shark Tank (2X), etc.
