In today’s episode, we talk about how a Torah home is a home that reads. We interview Katie Hirn from HirnHomeschoolers.com about her purposefully small collection of books, plus we find out what the Torah says about protecting our families from lies that can enter our homes through media. Kraig shares tips for making beautiful but inexpensive bookshelves, Anne shares what books she’s reading this week, and we talk about how to teach young children to read.
