Welcome to Wordplay, a weekly podcast for readers and writers of all ages. In our twenty minute episodes, we discuss any and all topics related to writing and reading books. The third episode of every month is dedicated specifically to kids ages eight and up. Teachers, librarians, and parents are invited to share the episodes with their students and try the activities we introduce.
