Let's face it: Most of us don't realize it, but we are failing our kids as reading role models. The best role models are in the home: brothers, fathers, grandfathers; mothers, sisters, grandmothers. Moms and dads, it's important that your kids see you reading. Not just books - reading the newspaper is good, too.

  • -- James Patterson 詹姆斯·帕特森

让我们面对现实吧:我们大多数人都没有意识到这一点,但作为榜样,我们辜负了孩子们的期望。最好的榜样是在家里:兄弟、父亲、祖父;母亲,姐妹,祖母。爸爸妈妈们,让你们的孩子看到你们读书是很重要的。不仅仅是书——读报纸也很好。
