Make Reading Fun again

Our society has gotten more tech savvy and dependent however the importance of reading is being lost . Our children read less and less and the literacy rates decreases more and more . We should all campaign to help our youth become literate and avid readers . We can create and fund more libraries and reading oriented activities . Coupling it with other fun incentives like music and sports or art or science programs . This will help create well rounded well informed functional members of our society. This will help create jobs and also mend a bridge between generations because books are timeless .

I agree reading is important but children model what they see parents doing. It’s hard if both parents work 40+ hours to fit in trips to the library and reading hour. That’s one of the reasons I suggested we encourage part time employment as an option to parents of young children so kids can get that kind of encouragement to become avid readers.
