In this episode of the Reading Made Delicious podcast, host Sarah Travers explains why she believes recipes are a powerful tool for teaching children to read. She highlights how recipes provide a clear, practical purpose for reading, engaging children's senses and making learning more meaningful. By involving kids in cooking, they can practice reading in a hands-on way, following instructions and understanding measurements. Sarah emphasizes that many existing "kids' recipes" are too complex for early readers, which is why she focuses on creating simple, decodable recipes that kids can actually read and use.
