Long before I was blessed with two daughters, a friend said to me "If you want your kids to read, read to them, and keep books in the house."

Both of my girls are voracious readers, and bless me, conservative.

"If you want your kids to read, read to them, and keep books in the house."

That is so true. Also, parents who read a lot tend to have children who do. The children see their parents reading frequently and they're curious. Little ones like to emulate the grown-ups.
