Erica's Reviews > How to Raise a Reader

It was fine, definitely enjoyed "The Read Aloud Handbook" much better. It was a quick read, being just under 200 pages and probably about 30% of that was book recommendations which I kind of skimmed through. There was definitely some woke agenda although it wasn't completely in your face. I also felt they had a bit of a double standard when it came to screen time. In one chapter they were preaching no screen time or very little, try to keep your kids into books and off of screens as much as possible. In the next chapter they were recommending kids link up with their favorite authors on social media, watch YouTube videos from their favorite authors, maybe make their own videos on YouTube based on their favorite books etc. Just seem to be a bit of a mixed message.
