How much time do your children spend reading in a week? Do they see you reading?

I have always been a reader. My parents made sure we read books, mostly Black History books or stories, however we always were reading. I remember my teacher at Northrup Elementary school, Ms. Moore, challenging us to read a book a week. We also had competitions to see who could read the most books and since I love to win... I always kept a book in my hand.

As you see reading is a learned behavior. I read books, newspapers, magazines and whatever else I find because my parents passed that love of reading...
