Reading habit

I tried all I could to cultivate a reading habit in Nic. I bought her various books and I even introduced kiddie magazines to her but she simply showed no interest though she was already able to read at a much younger age.

I did not give up. I got her a small collection of the Rainbow Magic series as she has a liking for princesses and fairies. For 2 months, the books were just sitting on the rack, untouched. One fine day, I requested her to just read 5 pages of any books of her choice. To my greatest surprise, she read the entire book (74 pages) in 2 hours – Jasmine the present fairy! She was able to give me a summary of the book which confirmed her reading effort. Just days ago, I saw her reading the front page of the newspaper which had an article on YOG – her favourite Merly was featured.

I hope she would keep up her interest in reading....... :)
