Oh, so my kids. I have a 7 year old and I have an 11 year old. They love, they read all different things. They both love graphic novels because they’ve grown up at Comic-Con, so they have no choice. But my daughter is in love with Ivy and Bean, and with Bink and Gollie, and Mercy Watson. And my son is in love with Gary Schmidt at the moment and Jackie Woodson at the moment. He just finished Feathers and he’s reading Locomotion, yeah so he’s going through the whole Jacqueline Woodson canon, so
So I think the way I encourage them to read is to, I step back a little bit and I just leave books everywhere. I have a book box in the car, you know I leave, I’ve always had a basket of books at the dinner table, like I always say, usually at the end of the day at dinner I feel like that’s the hardest meal of the day, everybody is tired, we’ve had homework, and I always say it’s fine if you just want to pull a book out and read at dinner, it’s great.
And so they often just do that at dinner. And just have a lot of books in your house, and make going to the library a fun and an exciting event to go and getting a book. And then I think they see it’s something of value.
I know, well I read a lot too. We both, my husband and I are big readers. So our house is full of books. And so.
