A love of reading often begins at home....


    Although filling our homes with books might be a start, psychologists find that it's not enough.  If we want our kids to enjoy reading, we need to make books part of their lives.  That involves talking about books during meals and car rides, visiting libraries or bookstores, giving books as gifts, and letting them see us read.  Children pay attention to our attention: where we focus tells them what we prize.
