## Resource

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, we dive into the importance of fostering a love for reading in children, especially during the summer months. Wayne Stender discovers insights from Dr. Kathy, highlighting research that shows reading is crucial for summer learning and can significantly impact children's reading achievement, particularly for those from low-income families. Recent surveys reveal a concerning decline in the number of kids who read for fun, with only 42% of nine-year-olds and just 17% of 13-year-olds engaging in daily reading. Tune in for practical tips on how families can encourage reading habits and create enjoyable reading experiences together.
