This weeks question is:Were you a born bookworm or somebody got you into the habit of reading?
My Answer:
I've always enjoyed books and reading but whether I was born a bookworm or if it was because my Mum loves books and read them to me I don't know. I used to think it was because of her influence, but now I have two daughters, one who loves reading and one who doesn't. This is despite the fact that I read and look at books with them both. This may change and I don't want to force her and put her off reading for life. My brother was never as into books as me when younger but now reads a lot and has a Kindle.
I think some children are born voracious readers, and some aren't --- and for the ones who aren't, it can be tricky to encourage them, without making them feel like reading is a chore. Sometimes, all it takes is the right book or the right author. :)
ReplyDeleteI believe a mother does have a great influence on whether or not a child enjoys reading. I read constantly to my child, and he is an reader. I agree about your not forcing...the love of reading will come. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day!!
Happy Hopping!!
