in my opinion, reading is good habit as it gives us knowledge and at the same time we can improve our writing skill. encouraging children to read is the best way but to build reading habit is not easy! we as adult should make it as habit first!so, lets make reading as our lifestyle..

my daughter loves reading, but not my son. he would rather play or watch disney channel than read books. they're 5 year-old twins. how do i get both of them to sit down together and do their reading at the same time? so that, it's easier for me to monitor their reading skills.

hi, i would like to add some idea about reading since this is my present study. yah i strongly agree that we need to motivate our child to read more books and also we have to give them a materials which us suit to thier level in order them to really appreciete what have they read. as author said "to read without reflecting is like the food without digesting.
