How Do I Get My Child to Read?
Well first off, please to don't institute the ˝ hour of mandatory reading that so many schools and parents are so keen on these days. You want to encourage a life-long love of reading and frankly you would be much more likely to succeed by banning reading in your house then by turning reading into yet another chore that needs to be done.
Respect your books and encourage you children to respect them too. Get them a special book mark. Teach them to take care of their books.
