    Reading to Succeed: Raising Readers and Critical Thinkers with Elizabeth Morphis
    Oct 1 2026
    You know your child should read. And they know how to read. So…why don’t they want to spend more time reading? Sadly, children have come to see one of life’s most pleasurable activities–reading–as a chore, which is why literacy rates have fallen over the past decade. Reading to Succeed: Raising Readers + Critical Thinkers is a podcast that offers parents and caregivers fun, fast, and fresh strategies that are both practical and research-backed. Host Elizabeth Morphis is a literacy expert and mom to two daughters, and has been teaching children to love reading and writing for over 20 years. She has worked as a literacy professor, elementary classroom teacher, the teacher for the child actors on the Broadway Tour of Annie, and a content specialist at Sesame Workshop. Listen weekly for conversations about literacy and reading as well as interviews with authors, illustrators, and literacy experts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
