Why Reading Matters—And What We Can Do About It
from Reality Writes · host Ellie Alexander
Send us a message! Reading is in trouble — and not just for kids. In this episode, I'm sitting down with the Tech Guy to talk about some genuinely alarming statistics about literacy in the United States, discuss why reading matters more than ever, and share some easy, actionable ways you can help turn things around. From the surprising health benefits of cracking open a book (six minutes of reading cuts stress by 68%!) to how you can get more young readers excited about books in your community, this episode is a shoutout to all the readers out there to take action. Grab something warm, settle in, and let's talk about why you — yes, you — are making a difference just by being a reader. Let us know what you think! 🎉 Join me on Patreon for bonus content.
