[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Starts at home, well before school. Parents either invest the time or they don't. [/quote] Agree with this. If your kid is not an independent and eager reader by 3rd grade it’s a parenting issue. [/quote] My kids wee independent and active readers by third grade. My son in particular would read 10-20 novels in an average week, spending probably 40 hours a week reading. As a Hs student he doesn’t read that much and when he does it is novels that he downloads on his phone. He is so busy with homework and hanging out with friends and playing video games. I wish the HS assigned more novels because he is definitely capable and would read them if assigned. He is taking AP lit next year and I’m hoping it gets him back into reading. I think it’s hard when there are so many things competing for your time. In the 80s, it was like — read a book or watch old movies on TBS or something awful like golf on the weekends. [/quote]
