Sneak Reading with Sneaky Readers

When my son was ten, he was a sneaky reading kid. It wasn’t uncommon for me to discover him sneak reading in the bathroom, planted on the toilet seat leaning over engrossed in a book as it rested on the floor when he should have been long asleep. How do kids get to be prolific readers, readers who just want to get lost in their books or who can’t climb out of them? Reading behavior, as with most behaviors, is learned. There are many ways to influence a child’s interest in reading.
