[SPG,Suspected,pattern=3.60]Re: Don't people read anymore?

[Familien Enget]

Daniël wonders why kids read so little when the several thousand pages of Harry Potter rates so high on book sales and popularity. Well, I've read them all myself, and I am 40 years old. First of all, they hit kids in all ages perfectly. I bet there are more kids in all ages watching the films rather than reading the books, though. The huge numbers of pages is one cause. Another cause is, I think, that reading is a downpointing activity. My son starts 1st grade come August, and we've been told at parents meeting now to read 15 minutes per day in order to help the development of his reading abilities. Unless parents have taught their kids to read books, they are less likely to sit down with any book, Harry Potter or not! Being brought up on good books and Donald Duck weekly, I certainly hope my kids will love reading...
