I preface my remarks by saying I have no children
But I use to watch my sister-in-law (alot by the way, she is cute) walk around with one of those baby slings slung over her shoulder reading to which ever of the three children she has raised suspended in the sling. Oldest child Jake is and was obsessed with reading. Second one equally so. Third one is smart but didn't take to it quite as well, slight disabilty, but like Nebe and all of you Dads here know reading to your children is extremely important. In my house nobody could make me do anything. I suffered because of that attitude. My brother Squid Kids Dad read and still does an enormous amount, romantic novels, go figure.
I applaud all of you who take the time to teach your children to read. Don't forget math, and writing techniques as well.
