 * What Can We Do To RAISE A READER? **
 * 1) ** Consider purchasing RAISING A READER by Jennie Nash **
 * 2) ** Understand that what works for your first child, may not work for your second child. **
 * 3) ** Supply a bevy of books at your house. **
 * 4) ** Read every day with your child. **
 * 5) ** Use the internet: [|www.cbcbooks.org], [|www.ala.org] , [|www.greatbooks.org]  **
 * 6) ** Find an interest. **
 * 7) ** Let your child pick their own books- it may be frustrating for you when your child does not pick TOP NOTCH LITERATURE, but you can slowly expose them to books that you like…but for the time being, let them do the picking.Once the novelty of picking their own books wears off, they’ll start to look for good lit, and that’s when you can guide them more. **
 * 8) ** Turn off the TV.Read Katrina Kenison’s __Mitten Strings for God,__ for an inspiring look of a family who weaned off TV and found rewards.  **
