I have owned books since forever. My parents were both
teachers and they knew the importance of reading so they passed this gift on to
their children. Both my brother and I were avid readers as children (different genres
though) all because of the importance my parents (especially my mother placed
on it).
I remember piles of
books (we were a little spoiled) which were all thoroughly read and loved. I
thank my parents for encouraging their children to read. I encourage all parents to buy your child an
interesting book to help start cultivating the habit of reading. I’ve already
started it with my niece- spoiling her silly with books.
Nana, my home is littered with books of all sizes and genres. My kids love to read, especially the first one. He reads voraciously. I grew up loving books too having been initiated by my mother, a teacher too.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool readinpleasure. It's great that you cultivate the habit in your children.
