He does make me increase the font size, so that he can "see" the words. I'm more than willing to do it, anything to get him hooked on the written word in any format. 
Early exposure to to an eBook reader of any kind has to be a good thing for future sales. |
My mother read to me as a kid, and I picked up the habit early. I had the concept before I could do it myself. She reported skipping over sections to finish faster so she could get on to other chores, and I'd say "No, Mommy, you missed
this part, and point unerringly at the skipped section.
By the time I was 5, I was already starting to read on my own, and tended to read anything that didn't read me first. I also tended to read beyond my expected level.
I consider reading
to your kids a critical component of getting them
want to read, because reading is
fun. For too many folks, reading is a
chore, done reluctantly because they
have to.
