Are We Failing Our Kids' Reading?

Alright, real talk: Why does it seem like some parents don’t care that their kids are lagging in reading? I mean, shouldn’t this be a huge red flag? Reading is like the foundation of everything—without it, they’ll struggle with, well, everything else! I know life gets busy, and not everyone can sit down with their kid and a book every night, but c’mon, it’s 2023, and we have all this technology that could help. Audiobooks, reading apps, eBooks—you name it. Is it about not caring, or is it just feeling too overwhelmed to start? I’ve seen kids who are 10, 11 years old, and when you hand them a book, they stare at it like it’s an ancient artifact. It’s frustrating! I just wish parents would realize they have such a powerful role to play here. I guess we all need to step it up and talk about this stuff more openly before it gets even more out of hand. #ReadingAgeChallenge #WakeUpCall #ParentingMatters
