Hanah Ehrenreich shares what she believes is the key to getting children excited about reading — give them the story first. By letting kids listen before they ever open a book, they develop a reason to want to read in the first place. She also breaks down how the Storytelling with Children Festival keeps kids actively engaged rather than passively sitting still, including a hands-on illustration workshop led by nationally known local illustrator Sue Keter, where children illustrate their own book in just 40 minutes and take it home.
