Mamaw with 4 of her 9 grand-daughters...
I have been asked so many times recently "when did you first develop an interest in reading?" and "Who instilled that deep interest in you?" Both of these questions are kind of like asking me if I remember what my first jar of baby food was and who fed it to me! It just was!! As far back as I can remember reading was the NORM at our house. "Go clean your room" (We would end up in trouble because it got too quiet and so Mom knew we were reading instead of cleaning!) "Go play out side! You need fresh air and take TOYS to play with!" So you wrap your baby doll & a book in a blanket and go sit behind a tree and read, if you get caught..."Shh, my baby just went down for her nap!" I really don't know how my Mom got anything done with 4 kids who read as veraciously as we did and her having to proof read new authors to make sure they were O.K. for us to read. I can think of at least 1 library in TN. that we read just about every single book they had that was considered by our parents as approved reading. We didn't care what "Genre" it was....another book, "COOL"!
Now as a Mother I have spent the last 18 years trying to instill the same love, fascination and craving for literature and books into my three Children. So far I have 1 1/2 readers....the youngest is very good at it he is just too much his Father's son and would prefer a controller in his hands over a book!
