[quote=Anonymous]Read with them. We have reading hour (that sometimes lasts 3 hours if everyone gets caught up in what they are reading) in my house where everyone is in the same room reading at the same time. Also, I rotate reading the same books as my kids, so we can have conversations ahout them. This has been super fun for me this summer with my 15 year old because his summer reading list is full of non-fiction and being able to have discussions with him about "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks", "I am Malala", and "Sapiens" has been incredible. His grasp of the material and his ability to articulate his point of view have lead to some very insightful discussions. Also, read out loud together. We read The Sorcerer's Stone (the first Harry Potter) as a family a few years ago, my daughter who was a senior in high school at the time had never read it and was really grumpy it got voted as the pick.... she went on to read all the others (along with her then 5th grade brother who was rereading them with her).
