Reply #7: I wish I could get my kids as passionate about reading as me... [View All]

Fortunately, the teenager likes to read...not as much as I do, though. Her tastes run different than mine so it's all good. Nathan enjoys reading...he's eight. He used to hate it because he struggled so hard with it. Now, he's taken to it quite well although sometimes what he reads doesn't stay in his brain very long. LOL

I would definitely complain about the book. My kids always brought home well-cared for books. Nathan brings home a book almost every night and once a week he's got an extra from the library to read in his spare time. Every book was always in pretty good shape.

I taught my kids to not fold page corners and not to lay a book down while it's open. It hurts the binding. I hate that. We do keep cool bookmarks around so it does help to encourage them.
