Some children's brains are so much quicker than they physical reading skill level, that reading becomes a chore. If you continue to read to them till they get past that, you've probably hooked them on reading. Oddly enough I blogged this week at Pen and Ink http://thepenandinkblog.blogspot.com/ on Children's Book Teacher Appreciation week and Mothers Day. <br />I have been so busy that I have not been on the net and did not realize GAP authors swere doing it.<br />I would love to know what book hooked you on reading?
