For all the parents here getting a kid to read has to be one of the most daunting tasks sometimes. As a mother of 6 and educator, I learned that each of my children has different learning styles (even twins). I worked with that to get each one to read at a capacity they each were comfortable with. Of the 6 I had 4 who were natural lovers of reading. But the two who struggled, it was a matter of finding out what interested each and they were on their way to becoming great readers.
**one was a boy and the other one of my daughters. So in no way does gender have anything to do with the better reader.

Your words ring true. All of my children, the last two school age and the adults love to read they each have told me they find calm in life when they sit and read a book or in-depth article. I love that they learned this from me. when they were all living at home I always had a book no matter where I went

Having 6 kids may give me an advantage to reading styles and the variety of interests. I can tell you that kids will only read what interest them and there is a way to approach this that has to be in a non-trickery situation. A simple conversation a trip to the library is a great ice breaker as many of the cartoons are now in graphic novels. Often there is a section for specific age groups for graphic novels and on those shelves are other books that may also interest. Both Dragon Ball-Z and Naruto come in graphic novels. What I found interesting is these read back to front. They are trade size and many young teens and pre-teens enjoy the series offered. As soon as they finish one they are ready for the next. If you venture to one of the big books stores you will find an entire section dedicated to these kinds of books for kids. Best of luck
