Book Week is upon us once again but if you want your child to embrace the joys of literature, don’t delude yourself with convenient fictions.
Book Week rolls around again, and with it comes the predictable chorus of strung-out parents who have no time to read books themselves but are tasked with “inspiring a love of literature” in their kids. How? By dressing them up as characters from children’s books. For an entire week! Why? I’ve been a rabid reader my whole life and have not had to don a Thing 1 or a Thing 2 costume.
The brutal truth is this: if we’re not in love with books and fighting to keep our precious attention span so we can read for enjoyment, how can we expect that of our kids?
