Mom, Make Time for Personal Reading: A Conversation with Katie Klein

from Coffee With Carrie: Homeschool Podcast

As a mother, especially as a homeschooling mom, reading is one of the most important habits you should form.  Why should you make the time when you have so many other things to do?  Reading broadens your horizons, enhances your concentration, enables you to view the world from other perspectives, enriches your knowledge, refines your thinking, and strengthens your intellectual abilities.  And if those reasons aren't enough, your children learn to value this habit through your example.  In this week's episode, Carrie talks with Katie Klein, book-lover, homeschool mom, curriculum creator, and founder of Little House Learning Company, about the importance of making personal reading a life-long habit.  Not only do they share tips on how to make time for reading, but they share some of their favorite books and authors.  You don't have to read one hundred books a year to be a "reader."  You don't have to read what's popular, and you don't have to stick to one genre.  Making time for personal reading will change you!   Pour yourself a cup of coffee, put your feet up, and join Carrie and Katie for a little coffee and conversation about books!**Be patient.  The 1st 20 minutes have a little static.**Connect with Katie on Instagram @littlehouselearningco.Check out Katie's Website and curriculum at https://littlehouselearningco.com/.Support the showPurchase A Home Education Handbook: 9 Questions to Ask for Simple & Balanced Home-Based LearningPurchase Homeschool High School:  A Handbook for Christian EducationPurchase Just Breathe (and Take a Sip of Coffee):  Homeschool Simply & Enjoyably.  Schedule a Coffee Date (One-on-One Personalized Coaching Session:  Coffee With Carrie Subscribe to Coffee With Carrie email newsletter for FREE Morning Time Plans and monthly tips  https://coffeewithcarrie.org Follow on Instagram @coffeewithcarrieconsultant.
