    Bribing Kids to Read?

    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.
