“The chores aren’t done…Should I really sit down to read?” In this excerpt from one of our in-person workshops, JJ Seid explains why a home filled with books matters more than wealth or degrees for your kids’ future. He discusses research and encouragement for busy parents, showing that reading is a powerful act of resistance in a screen-heavy world. Reading aloud, surrounding your kids with books, and modeling a love of reading are all keys to fostering that love in our children. Whether you’re homeschooling or just want your kids to love learning, you’ll find practical strategies to transform your home!RESOURCES+Click here for a complete list of books mentioned in this episode+Buy some of our favorite books here! 10 Of Those + $1 shipping!+Build Your Family’s Library: Grab our FREE book list here+Get our FREE ebook: 5 Essential Parts of a Great Education.+Attend one of our upcoming seminars this year!+Click HERE for more information about consulting with Carole Joy Seid!CONNECTHomeschool Made Simple | Website | Seminars | Instagram | Facebook | PinterestMentioned in this episode:Pick up a copy of What Makes You Beautiful wherever books are sold, or visit this link to learn how to get 30 percent off with a free Crossway Plus account.What Makes You Beautiful: 20 Daily Devotions for Girls
