Description:

So you love reading and your kid doesn't. What caused this state of affairs, and what can you do about it? In Parents Who Love Reading, Kids Who Don't, Mary Leonhardt pins the blame on the educational establishment for the endemic dislike of reading among kids, and provides direct solutions. Her basic approach may surprise you: provide reading material that is easy and fun for children. Start with comic books, junk books, romance novels, mysteries, genre books of all kinds. The premise is simple: only avid readers are excellent readers; excellent readers become excellent only because they read a lot. Leonhardt, a long-time high school English teacher, makes a strong case for her techniques, and has the track record to prove it.
