I didn't read at all until I was 12. I just couldn't. It was too frustrating.

I wasn't really comfortable reading until I was 12.

I can't stand reading anything that I've said.

I didn't learn how to read until I was at the end of fifth grade and 11 years old and held back.

I loved to read, and I think any child who loves to read will read anything, including the back of the cereal box, which I did every morning.

I'm reading more than ever. I used to find it tedious, but now it's like my little friend - it takes my mind off things.

I don't want to approach reading from the viewpoint of that it's a pleasant adjunct to your life. I want to approach it from the idea that you have to read or you're going to suffer. There's a difference to be made - and you can make it if you read with your child.

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.
