All my kids are big time readers. In fact, I have sometimes had to forbid them from reading just to get them to be a little more active!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01445455787485222068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895958693998069385.post-87513437609961796442011-06-22T11:12:46.508-06:002011-06-22T11:12:46.508-06:00My Grandma used to read to my sister and me.

It took me a long time to love books, because I had to discover them on my own. I sure my kids love to read as much as I do.Jennie Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331827076858223497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895958693998069385.post-50278709824587197362011-06-22T08:35:28.573-06:002011-06-22T08:35:28.573-06:00Oh god, I can't imagine reading ever as boring...Oh god, I can't imagine reading ever as boring. (Except those tedious college textbooks maybe.) My friends that have kids, I always make sure that I give books as part of their bday/Christmas presents and when the time comes for me to have kids, you bet your butt they'll be reading.Alicia Gregoirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06660125614529633284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895958693998069385.post-25746828018849054822011-06-22T08:03:27.747-06:002011-06-22T08:03:27.747-06:00My sister-in-law wasn't a huge reader when she...My sister-in-law wasn't a huge reader when she and my brother got married. But we've always been voracious readers in our family. So my brother's been one to really get her into the reading thing. She's still pretty picky about her books so if I get her a book, it's usually one that I've read and know she'll enjoy.<br /><br />They have two sons, 5 and almost 2. Pretty much how I am turning them into readers (though they're well on their way because of their dad) is that I'm the crazy aunt who only gives books as gifts. Yeah. Birthdays and Christmas, they get a book. That was rather interesting this year as I stood in B&N's kid section looking at those early readers trying to figure out which level my oldest nephew would be. I finally broke down and called my sister-in-law.Stephanie McGeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16507025637411479409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895958693998069385.post-6799712447524921032011-06-22T06:51:05.597-06:002011-06-22T06:51:05.597-06:00Very thankful that my daughter LOVES to read and m...Very thankful that my daughter LOVES to read and my son is getting more and more into it.
