Today, children are often sidetracked away from reading for pleasure, by what they must read for class or the lure of fun computer games. Creating a 'reading habit" must begin early, with parents reading daily to their child. As a child matures introduce them to books that are fun, educational, and appeal to their blossoming interests. Teachers can also encourage "pleasure reading" by encouraging discussion times set around chat about favorite books, favorite plots, and special characters. Get classes talking about WHY they are drawn to the books they love.

As an author and retired Teacher's Aide, I am happy to offer FREE Skype Author Visits to classrooms anywhere there is a Skype connection. I love to HOOK kids on reading, and I also encourage them to write. For me, reading is a Magic Carpet Ride to fun and adventure. A wonderful book is always an awesome companion.
