Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of setting a good example for children when it comes to cultivating a love for reading. Merely telling kids to read while one indulges in television shows contradicts the message. The quote suggests that a more effective approach is for parents to demonstrate the value of reading by actively engaging in it. By doing so, parents not only encourage children to read but also create a shared experience that can be enjoyed together, ultimately fostering a positive and meaningful relationship with books.
