[quote=Anonymous]So this thread is just going to be a circle jerk about how you did all the right things and now your kid is a voracious reader...nature or nurture? My own mother read to us every night (and obviously no tablets back then) and she got one daughter who read nonstop and one who did not. I read every book in the house, including all her cookbooks and some very inappropriate adult novels, before I turned 12! Sister in the same house with the same library trips and book availability had to be pushed to read. I read stories nightly, have books all over the house, take the kids to the library, buy books I think they might like, and they see me reading all the time. They still don't want to read and it's not because they have screens to look at. They like drawing, Legos, board games, card games, and reading comics like Peanuts and Garfield. But it is like pulling teeth to get them to read a chapter book. They are boys 7 and 9. [/quote]
