How do we unlock a young person's intrinsic motivation to read? Today we're spotlighting Tracey Hecht of Fabled Films and The Book Truck charity founder Elizabeth Dragga. These guests on opposite coasts are taking creative approaches to getting kids and teens psyched about books. Hecht, creator of The Nocturnals series, uses dialogue-driven storytelling, short films, author visits via Skype, a New York Public Library Read-Aloud Initiative, and even face-painting to get kids invested in reading. Then Atomic Moms listener Eleanor Burkett shares a conversation with Elizabeth Dragga about her non-profit The Book Truck driving up literacy in underserved neighborhoods and "helping teens find books they can't put down." Listen up! love, Ellie Knaus
