I mean, there's always been games people can play. I really think children need to not only be encouraged to read by their parents, but to also SEE their parents reading. If their parents make time to read, then the kids will see that it's enjoyable and worth the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409738007153494139.post-28244337803859939152013-10-06T22:48:39.138+01:002013-10-06T22:48:39.138+01:00love the photo on your blog :) very pretty!love the photo on your blog :) very pretty!ANDYSTYLEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18260836202541068052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409738007153494139.post-87263030130711005272013-10-06T12:43:18.101+01:002013-10-06T12:43:18.101+01:00I couldn't agree with you more about how time ...I couldn't agree with you more about how time consuming people who don't read believe reading to be. My brother, my flatmate, my work colleagues have all cited that as their main reason for not reading, or not reading more often.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409738007153494139.post-78676001395526234702013-10-05T20:26:21.592+01:002013-10-05T20:26:21.592+01:00It's a sad but true point.

Most families can't be bothered to help their kids read, even though it helps them in school as well as is just amazing, and would rather stick them on a tablet. In my house, me and mum constantly read, and my brother and sister do a bit (though they're a bit young so not much attention for it yet) and I know my brother-to-be will too. We're bookish people- our cat is called Mog after Meg and Mog- but a lot of people aren't any more. <br /><br />Charli x<br />- charliotherworld.blogspot.comCharlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12434359016655469931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3409738007153494139.post-53842194303413526862013-10-05T19:41:42.718+01:002013-10-05T19:41:42.718+01:00I think all of us reading your blog are those who ...I think all of us reading your blog are those who will readily agree that reading is nearly always a priority. In the world at large though, sadly I think many will have it very low on their priority list.

I think it really depends on the sort of people because obviously some people don't read and some do. I think parents definitely should encourage their kids to read because you can have a good balance of gaming and reading. But think about it, there are those nerds who are gaming 24/7 and then there are the geeks reading 24/7. It really depends on the people.
