Episode 2:38 Books Are Fun & Book Blast with Ben Kaplan | Season 2 Finale

We’re closing out Season 2 of Interventions and Detentions with a conversation that every educator, school leader, and parent should hear. In this episode, I sit down with Ben Kaplan, President of Books Are Fun, to discuss the Book Blast program and how it’s helping schools across the country build excitement around reading while putting more books into the hands of students. We explore: * What makes the Book Blast program different * How schools can implement it with minimal staff time * Why access to books at home is so important for developing lifelong readers * The role family engagement plays in student literacy * How Books Are Fun is helping schools create a culture where reading thrives Whether you’re a principal looking for meaningful literacy initiatives, a teacher passionate about getting books into students’ hands, or a parent who wants to encourage a love of reading, this conversation is packed with practical insights and inspiration. Thank you for being part of an incredible Season 2. Your support, downloads, shares, and conversations have helped grow this podcast into a community of educators committed to making a difference. The interventions may be ending for the season… but the impact continues.
