In a New York Post interview, Judy Blume, author of young-adult fiction, gave this advice on getting your kids to read:
“Moms come up to me at book signings and describe how they’re telling their daughters, ‘These were my favorite books,’ ” she says. “I say, ‘Quit it! That’s the biggest turnoff!’
“You want to get them to read them, leave them around the house and every so often, say, ‘You’re not ready to read this yet.’
