A practical guide to inspiring children—toddlers to teenagers—to read for pleasure
Life is hectic for the modern family—a maelstrom of activity and screen time from which it is hard to carve out a few minutes of peace and calm to read a good book. Yet that is all that is needed to create a young person who will love reading for the rest of their lives, which will increase their confidence, encourage their language development, and improve their life chances. In this practical guide Alison David uses her experience and extensive research to show parents how to instill a love of reading that will improve not only their child’s life, but theirs as well. Sitting alongside parenting books by the likes of Gina Ford, Annabel Karmel, Amy Chua, and Steve Biddulph, this practical guide to reading will satisfy a real need for many parents.

This book isn't just for families that have children who don't embrace reading with enthusiasm and love, but can help established reading families too. -- Sally * Space On The Bookshelf * This is ideal for teachers to use as a way of talking with parents about reading for pleasure. It's a book that lives in that space between education in school and education at home. A thousand times better than those books of worksheets telling you "How to pass Sats" that sit on spinners in newsagents. -- Michael Rosen * The Guardian *
