[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I took both kids to library today. The first grader did not want to checkout any books, but he read a few simple books there. I had to limit how many books the 4 year old could checkout, and she ended up with 15 books with those picture books that she wanted. I already tried my best to make it exciting, and all the oldest care could play kid game at library computer. At the end, I made him to checkout a few book against his wishes of checkout zero book, and they were all simple books with pictures. I told him that if he got to read 50 books, he will get a reward which I has not thought about it yet. Before we went to library, I took them to dunkin donuts for treats beforehand. I already did my best to make it fun. [/quote]

What did you check out for yourself?  Did you tell them how excited you were to be at the library and read yourself? [b] If you don’t want to check books out and read them, kids will model themselves on you and think the grown up thing to do is not be interested in books[/b].[/quote]

Not really true. I didn't read that much to my kids ages when they were 3-5 (getting through the day was big for us then), but after we started K school recommended so we had a book a week. Then covid came and we went through freecycle books which kids read on their own. They just love reading now (no thanks to me). Some kids pick up regardless of whether the parent reads or not. My parents never read me any books either but when I was young I was a book worm. I loved the Nancy Drew and Famous Five books and recommended that to my 10 year old and she got hooked on it.[/quote]
