I really want my daughter to be into reading so I'm hoping that by setting an example and reading daily to her, she will pick it up and do it on her own when she's old enough. Also, I think that I will only allow her access to games on the weekends. I just know how addictive they can be and school is so much more important. I wish they taught more classical books in American schools, like they do in Russian ones. That knowledge is priceless and would turn more kids into long-term readers.

Also, look at our public libraries. They are transforming into a video rental outlet. Many people only goto the library for the sole purpose of free rentals.

I suppose you could take that as either a good thing or a bad thing. On the one hand, at least they're reading. On the other hand, they probably could be reading much higher quality work than they currently are.
