Once I removed them from school and they had a bit of time to "unwind" from school, they began to read on their own. They seemed to enjoy reading and became quite content. I'll never put my son back in school again! He's so much happier at home. Reading is a pleasure now. While in school it was very unpleasant and he was unhappy. Thank God we have a choice!

What a wise parent you are to allow your children time to unwind after what must have been a difficult school experience. It is such a joy for us as parents to watch our children discover the pleasure of reading. That joy must be much greater for parents like you who have watched a child move from disliking reading to rediscovering it as satisfying. Yes, let's hear it for choice!
