Why We Must Read

from The Critical Thinker · host The Marc Medley Show

This podcast deals with illiteracy and why we must learn how to read and read well. You can read this podcast in Blog format at my blog site of the same name as the podcast The Critical Thinker at www.thereadingcircleblog.blogspot.com . The blog post has the same title WHY WE MUST READ. There is a difference between decoding words, fluency and comprehension. We must read with our children and have our children read to us. We must turn off the TV and other electronic devices and take some time to just read an old fashioned book. You are welcome to tune into The Reading Circle with Marc Medley on Saturdays at 6 a.m. ET on gobrave.org and WP88.7 FM. You are also invited to follow me on Twitter @thinkcritical01 - Tumblr @thecriticalthinker01.tumblr.com and Instagram @readingcircle01.
