Are your students leaving their reading skills at the classroom door? In this episode, I break down how to create home-school reading connections that actually work for real families living real lives. Forget complicated reading logs and forced 20-minute sessions that everyone dreads. I'm sharing practical strategies that transform reading at home from a chore into a natural, enjoyable part of family life.

Discover how to communicate effectively with parents, address diverse family situations, and celebrate authentic reading moments without adding more to your teaching plate. I'll walk you through common misconceptions about home reading and show you how small, consistent interactions with text—whether it's books, magazines, or even cereal boxes—create powerful connections that foster a genuine love of reading. Plus, learn how to use my free Parent Reading Toolkit that makes this whole process so much easier for both you and your students' families!
