My parents always used to read to me when I was younger which made me love reading so I read regardless of the example my parents set. Parents always say that reading is good, but most of my friends don't read because their parents don't either. Sometimes adults can be quite hypocritical!

Especially when we're little, hen we see our parents picking up a book reading it and enjoying it, it sticks in our head that it must be fun and enjoyable. Sometimes it's a case of whether our parents are really busy, but I think parents and older people around the house should think of what their kids are thinking and think what would be best for them and their future.
