I did read one book as a kid that I really loved – The Indian in the Cupboard (my aunt Libby gave it to me). Why didn’t I read other books if I enjoyed that one so much? Simple. No one else gave me any more after that. And I didn’t think to ask. And buying books with pocket money was not a priority. So. Give! Ask! Read!!
And if you’re a book-loving adult trying to get your kids to read – don’t forget the bookstore or the library with 1,000s of books, while a fun playground for book lovers can be OVERWHELMING for a kid who’s not into books in the first place. So take them on a tour, show them where everything is at, make it fun and manageable, so they won’t be intimidated to go there alone!
Good thoughts and well written thoughts this week. Powerful program yesterday. To God be the glory!
