A very interesting FT article discusses how to create good and sustainable reading habits for your children and highlights its importance. The key, unsurprisingly, is that they enjoy reading. However, this enjoyment must be relevant compared to other available options. In economic terms, the utility of reading should be at least as high as that of substitute activities like video games. Achieving this balance can be challenging. To foster a love for reading, we need to carve out time in their schedules, starting with 15 to 30 minutes, 3 to 4 times a week. It’s important to select books that might pique their interests. Creating a family Book Club to discuss the books read, where everyone shares their opinions, can make reading a fun family activity. Additionally, making books readily available at home and visiting libraries together can help integrate reading into their daily lives. https://www.ft.com/content/e3878e7e-459b-43aa-a663-ef8e407012a3
