I'm a bit skeptical of the party line, "if you love to read, and your children see you love to read, they'll be readers for life." Reason? One of my kids is a reader--the other isn't. And, obviously, I've been a reader all my life, and encouraged both equally. The not-reader doesn't read for pleasure, though she will read non-fiction in order to learn more about something she wants to know about or to answer a question.
Oddly enough, the not-reader is the child of the not-reader mentioned above (and the other kid, the reader-has a different father.) Doubt it means anything, but it makes me wonder.
