from The Magic Bookshelf Podcast
Join me for a calm, encouraging episode about moving children from listening to books to reading on their own. I share age-appropriate milestone cues for 3–7 year olds, ways to scaffold sight words, the power of repeated shared reading, quick at-home activities you can do in five minutes, and tips for balancing screen-based stories with physical books. This episode focuses on keeping reading joyful, celebrating small wins, and creating gentle routines that help kids build confidence without pressure.
