Deep dives

Take an interest in your child's reading

Taking an interest in your child's reading is crucial for their development. Margaret Thatcher's father, despite having limited education himself, took a genuine interest in what she was reading. He discussed the books with her, shared related recommendations, and filled gaps in her reading by taking her to the library. This approach helps raise a reader by making reading a family affair and allowing children to benefit from their parents' experiences. It creates a lasting connection and fosters a love for reading that can last a lifetime.
