For a child, reading a book can be such an intense experience.

Kids can learn a lot by seeing things rather than reading it.

Making reading an enjoyable activity for children is a challenge. So I ensure that I write in a way that is fun for children to read.

Children have to be motivated to want to learn to read. Reading must not be taught simply as a school exercise.

One of the problems you have when you read with kids is that once they like something they want you to read it a hundred times.

It distresses me that parents insist that their children read or make them read. The best way for children to treasure reading is to see the adults in their lives reading for their own pleasure.

It is my desire to break the destructive generational cycle of illiteracy in the home by focusing on the children. Reading to your child has so much value as a parent because it opens the lines of communication.

When I was little, I thought everyone in the world liked to read because it was so fun. But then I realised that was not exactly true. I want other kids to read and write more all over the world, because it helps them to understand things better.

Reading should not be presented to children as a chore, a duty. It should be offered as a gift.

The best way to enhance a child's imagination is to make them read.
