You are joshing, right? Tell me you were just joshing.
You instill a love of reading in children when they are infants. You read to them daily, in small doses at first, of course.
As they grow, you read to them nightly, from colorful books, letting them choose the stories.
You read the same book to them 47 times in a row if they want.
When they can, you let them start reading to you. You listen patiently, you don't' try to do other things while they are reading. You help with the really hard words, and encourage them to sound them out.
You insist they learn their spelling words from school.
Even if it means they write them 10 times each every night.
EVERY NIGHT you read or allow yourself to be read to, sometimes both. It doesn't have to be a long story.
Do this from infancy, and you have a reader.
You can't "MAKE" children love to read, but you can instill it in them.
