Raising Readers Who Read for Pleasure: How Kids (and Adults) Benefit from Books Without Lessons
Reading isn’t supposed to feel like homework. Yet so many of us grew up with the idea that every children’s book should teach a lesson, carry a moral, or sneak in some “value”. The truth is that kids don’t need a lesson in every story. Sometimes, the magic is in the fun, the giggles, the imagination, and the joy of simply getting lost in a book.
In this episode of Little Fixes, we explore why raising readers who read for pleasure matters more than raising readers who just read for outcomes. You’ll hear how books without lessons can still build empathy, creativity, and emotional resilience—for kids and yes, for adults too.
My guest is author Asha Nehemiah who writes books for children of all ages. Wonderfully funny characters get into wacky adventures in her books such as The Grand Chapati Contest, Trouble with Magic and The Adventures of Mooli series.
We talk about:
-Why not every children’s book needs to “teach” something
-The hidden benefits of fun and playful stories
-How parents can nurture a love of reading without turning it into a task-What adults can learn from revisiting the joy of “just stories”
If you want your child to fall in love with reading—or if you’re an adult trying to rekindle that spark yourself—this conversation is for you.
