I’m not ready to make the leap into parenthood (is anyone ever ready?), but lately I’ve been thinking about raising readers.
So I wanted to ask all of you moms and dads out there, how do you encourage your kids to read?
I know some people are naturally inclined to be readers and others hate it. How do you get your kids to read without it feeling like a chore? When I was growing up we always had rules about how much TV you could watch in the summer time. You could only watch 1 hour of TV for every hour you spent reading and you had to play outside a lot as well. I already loved to read at that point, but I wonder if that rule made my siblings resent reading or see it as a chore.
Thoughts?
p.s. Here's a book on the topic over at Sunlit Pages.
