## Resource

On this episode: Lucy Lopez , Elizabeth Newcamp , and Zak Rosen debate if you should bribe your kid to read. They are joined by Katie Day Good , media educator, communication professor at Calvin University , and the author of Bring the World to the Child: Technologies of Global Citizenship in American Education . But perhaps most importantly…Katie has been paying her kids to read. She’ll explain why monetary motivation works and how reading print books can help create a tech-intentional home.   This week on the Plus Playground: Lucy, Elizabeth, and Zak recommend the books they’re loving right now—and the ones they’ll dig into this summer.  Podcast production by Cheyna Roth and Rosemary Belson.
