1). Never read where your children can see you.
2). Put a TV or computer in every room. Dont neglect the bedrooms and
kitchen.
3). Correct your child every time she mispronounces a word.
4). Schedule activities everyday after school so your child will never
be bored.
5). Once your child can read independently, throw out the picture books.
Theyre for babies.
6). Dont play board games together. Too dull.
7). Give little rewards for reading. Stickers and plastic toys are nice.
Money is even better.
8). Dont expect your children to enjoy reading. Kids books are for
teaching vocabulary, proper study habits, and good morals.
9). Buy only 40-watt bulbs for your lamps.
10). Under no circumstances read your child the same book over and over.
She heard it once, she should remember it.
11). Never allow your child to listen to books on tape; thats cheating.
12). Make sure your kids only read books that are challenging. Easy
books are a complete waste of time. That goes double for comic books and
Mad magazine.
13). Absolutely, positively no reading in bed.

I couldn't read that file either.
I went to Google to find another version to bring back here, but they're all
wildly formatted and can't be grabbed easily.

OH HA!!!!
Last night I read Matilda to Holly for a while (she's heard it before AND
seen the movie...) and then read myself to sleep with the South Park issue of
Mad Magazine!!

We're reading _The Miss Bianca_ books by Margery Sharp. I am so amazed
at the vocabulary. I keep having to go look things up...

When we changed to a new optomitrist a few years ago, he said that you
shouldn't read for at least 20 minutes before going to bed, because when
you read, or watch tv or use the computer or any other fixed distance
eye activity, your eye muscles 'stick' at that distance for a while and
then when you go to sleep straight after, they stay 'stuck' all night.
(In the 'natural' way of living, our eyes would be constantly changing
focus from close to mid range to far distance) And that this is one of
the reasons for short sightedness in our western cultures.
Neither my son, nor I have chosen to change our computer or reading
habits. Nor, I suspect has the optomitrist, who is short sighted himself <g>

with interesting and diverse selections. The funny thing is, we almost never
read them these days. She prefers to have us reread old favorites again and
again. It seems it's just the library experience she's craving right now.

But there are people who can't read at all and who don't have lights at night
and they get short sighted too.
Sandra, who has read herself to sleep more often than not, and who is very
LONG sighted--getting closer has never done me ANY good.

instead of with a book, at bedtime, does this guy have an opinion about
whether my eyes should be open or shut? <ggg>
It just strikes me funny.

I'll ask next time I visit - it would be worth it just to see his face.
Oh, perhaps if I want to see his face, I'd better wait right til the
end, when I've got the new glasses.... <beg>
