A lot of it has to do with how one learns to read. <br /><br />Just out of curiosity...did you or the school use phonics in teaching reading?<br /><br />In any case, at least you've got one reader out of the bunch!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02515314638093018928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-88215096648912662332009-05-18T19:33:00.000-05:002009-05-18T19:33:00.000-05:00I think I still have my Little Bear books!I think I still have my Little Bear books!Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-86692200901183769932009-05-18T16:40:00.000-05:002009-05-18T16:40:00.000-05:00I'd probably go with Nature, but there's no harm i...I'd probably go with Nature, but there's no harm in pushing the Nurture part, either! My kids are 13 (twins) and 14 and they still love it when I read to them. The shared book conversations keep us in touch, provide a lot of laughs and it encourages them to follow along or pick the next read!Reading Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10366413149867214320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-29338181731522956292009-05-18T13:55:00.000-05:002009-05-18T13:55:00.000-05:00We grew up during the same era! ;O0My daughter is ...We grew up during the same era! ;O0My daughter is an avid reader, my two sons go in streaks.Nise' https://www.blogger.com/profile/15586400022454009379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-48326427353722684842009-05-18T13:36:00.001-05:002009-05-18T13:36:00.001-05:00I think the passion for love can be encouraged but...I think the passion for love can be encouraged but not imbued as if you're teaching them to speak. The children have to be taken in by reading materials that pique their interests. My parents never had time to read to me and my love for books was fueled by my sickness and visits to the library.Matthttp://mattviews.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-12395435075498073662009-05-18T13:36:00.000-05:002009-05-18T13:36:00.000-05:00I definitely think it is nature.

My youngest would love to go to the library while the older one would say she was getting a headache the minute we pulled into the library parking lot.But today they are both readers. I think the older one starting reading as something to occupy the time as she takes the train into Boston every day. As far back as I can remember I loved to read. Highlight of the week was going to the library. Of course, when I was growing up, we didn't have the luxury of 4 tv stations!Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282803815704229945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-49290118806632972932009-05-18T11:22:00.000-05:002009-05-18T11:22:00.000-05:00I have 3 children like yourself, 2 are average rea...I have 3 children like yourself, 2 are average readers but the youngest is a ferocious reader.zetorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05912433866457968555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-31803630354720128162009-05-18T10:52:00.000-05:002009-05-18T10:52:00.000-05:00Hi!

I read to them equally as babies, bought them books all the time. They both saw me reading but only one loves to read. <br /><br />I think it's nature but I do think you can cultivate a love of certain books and down the line make reading a more enjoyable experience for the non-reader.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08687620527201679249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-2938962202877074462009-05-18T09:48:00.000-05:002009-05-18T09:48:00.000-05:00I agree with you--I am leaning towards the nature ...I agree with you--I am leaning towards the nature camp. Out of my 4 kids, 2 really seem to love to read. I wonder if life stage is playing a part in the other 2--my college age son just doesn't have time and he said when he does have time he feels like he should be reading something for class. The 16 year old is just a go getter, doer and shaker and to just sit during the day doesn't do it for him-he does read a little when he goes to bed. And then there is my daughter, the married one. She reads a lot, as well as her husband, but I know her love for reading waned a bit while in college and grad school. She was the one who took a book everywhere she went while growing up. Now she is going to be a mommy and I am sure she will be reading from the get go to her little one.<br />Sam, the youngest is my voracious reader and really seems to love it.<br /><br />I also read to my kiddos as infants and there was story time before bed every night until they read independently-even then read alouds continued during the day as part of our curriculum when I home-schooled them all!<br /><br />Like so many things, when you raise multiple children, they seem to turn into their own persons even when you raise them all the same way!<br />Happy Monday and smiles!<br />Kim Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13029664492284742183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-31103466694507877642009-05-18T09:37:00.000-05:002009-05-18T09:37:00.000-05:00If we could figure out just exactly makes one pers...If we could figure out just exactly makes one person a reader and another not, we'd create a lot more readers, wouldn't we?bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.com
