Raising Readers

A neat article at Lew Rockwell encourages parents to get their children to read a series of books in order to turn them into adult readers. The article then lists a dozen such series (listed below, along with a link to the article and an excerpt from the beginning).

“There is a theory that the adults who have become lifelong readers probably began by reading series of books when they were children.

“An article's author (whose name I have sadly forgotten) felt that, with a self-set goal to "read every book in an entire series," a child gifts himself or herself with reading practice ”“ practice that encourages the brain's transition from processing only at the word-word-word level to processing that flows, enabling the imagination to create scene, characters, plot, without conscious attempts to focus and find meaning.”
