In this episode, former high school English teacher and current stay-at-home mom, Katie Addis discusses how she underutilized picture books as a high school teacher and offers advice on ways she would do it differently today. We had a wonderful time talking about how picture books make kids fall in love with reading for a lifetime and she shares how she and her kids have survived the pandemic through reading.
