They can be identified by their independent-bookstore bags or printed piles of paper they look through on their lap.They are,for lack of a more specific term,reader.Joining their group seems simple enough:Get a book and read it!But behind that simple process is a question of motivation--of why some people grow up to derive great pleasure from reading,while others don't.
Some people are much more likely than others to become members of the reading class.First,the more education people have,the more likely they are to be readers.Beyond that,urban people read more than rural people.Affluence(富裕) is associated with reading.Young girls read earlier than boys do and continue to read more in adulthood.
Of course,possessing any of these characteristics doesn't guarantee that someone will or won't become a reader.Personality also seems to play a role. "Introverts who find it difficult to talk to others seem to be a little bit more likely to do a lot of leisure-time reading," Daniel Willingham,a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia said.
Willingham also talked about the importance of the number of books in one's childhood home.Studies looking at "family scholarly culture" have found that children who grew up surrounded by books tend to attain higher levels of education and to be better readers than those who didn't.There is no doubt that being a reader sets a child up for academic success,since so much of school is reading.
Reading will seem more like chocolate cake if it's something that parents themselves take part in happily and regularly. "When I'm sitting there on my couch,reading a book,and my kids are doing their own thing,I like to think,'I'm parenting right now--they can see me reading this book,'" Maria Russo,the children's--books editor said.Similarly,right after dinner,if you scroll through your phone,open up your laptop,or watch TV,kids are likely to take note.
Parents don't have to become avid readers themselves to raise avid readers.Russo suggested a bunch of things that parents can do make reading seem exciting and worthwhile:talk about books during meals or car rides,indicating and bookstores and stay a while;and give books as birthday gifts.
