[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]All reading is good reading.  [/b]

Many adults don't read at all.  Reading graphic novels would be an improvement.  Let your kid read what they want.[/quote]

The bolded is just not true. Reading is a (minor) factor in character formation.

I'm with the posters who compare reading diets to food diets. There are junk books and they are treats.

This is a fabulous way to kill your kid's love of reading.[/quote]

I do that sort of thing to my kids all the time and they are avid readers. Turns out I'm pretty good at knowing what they'll like.[/quote]

I'm glad it works for your house, but I can't get on board with "requirements" for reading for pleasure. I make plenty of suggestions, sure, but they take them or leave them, and that's fine by me.[/quote]
