This article details points I've argued SO hard as a kids editor. Sometimes in acquisitions & editing, we get really bogged down in our adult mindsets. Kids operate on totally different logic (which I dub "kids logic") and taste and POV, & we should get on their level more often!

[Jarrett Lerner @Jarrett_Lerner]

Reading aloud — it’s pretty amazing for kids (and grownups, too)! Whatever you’re doing this summer, make sure to spend some time reading aloud to the children in your life.
