In this vibrant and insightful episode, we explore how summer reading can be more than just a strategy to combat the “summer slide”—it can become a joyful, memory-making adventure for the whole family. Featuring the Monsters on Mill Street series, we highlight how stories filled with heart, humor, and emotional depth can help children retain what they’ve learned, all while having fun.
Summer is the perfect time to build the belief that reading is fun—and to sneak in valuable life lessons along the way. From asking your kids questions like “Have you ever felt like Alby?” to guiding them through problem-solving with their favorite book characters, this episode offers practical, playful ways to turn storytime into meaningful connection.
🎧 Because the best learning happens when kids are laughing, exploring, and feeling seen.
