[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Graphic novels are the gateway drug to reading. They're easy and get kids exposed to the idea of caring about a character. I would pick up books I thought my DCs would like and just leave them laying around, including in the bathroom. I also read to my DCs for years long after they could read on their own. My thought was always encouraging them to consider books for entertainment, not because it was good for them. They also see me reading all the time.[/quote] +1 these were the key for my kid (almost 7) who just would not sit down and read a book ever despite being fully capable. Find out what books are most popular for her age group and get them even if it costs you a small fortune bc the library can’t keep the books in stock and your kid is suddenly finishing 3 books / day. Ask me how I know.[/quote]
