One method that really doesn't work to start reading is being forced to read, as happened to me in my school days. I saw the school library only once in the seventh year of middle school, when the teacher forced us to take a book (I took The Sun Train by Reneé Reggiani), and another time in the second year of classical high school, for the same reason (I took The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann). Result? I graduated with not even 10 books read under my belt. Then something happened, but I'm not sure what. There were books in the house , a beautiful collection of classics published by Fabbri. And I too had books of my own, received since I was a child for various birthdays and Christmases, even though I was careful not to read them.
At a certain point, after high school, I started reading, thanks, I think, to a fantasy novel I had had for almost 10 years, The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks. Nobody convinced me to read, it was my choice, perhaps it happened by chance. But is it possible to convince someone to read? Convince or encourage reading? Convincing almost feels like obligation. When you want to convince someone to do something it is almost Special Data always out of your own interests. It is therefore better to encourage people to read books . But how? I looked for some information online. I already knew some recommended methods – from comments on some articles about reading and from other web searches – and others came to mind through reasoning. What doesn't work to encourage reading? Of the methods found online - more or less always the same - in my opinion none of them work. At least from my point of view: they wouldn't work for me, in short. Light Yes, that's right: to make a person read they recommend... making them read .
But if one doesn't read, it's because he isn't attracted to books and reading. Fill your room with books This method almost seems like an imposition: I fill your room with books and therefore you have to read them. I'm very skeptical about this: after all, at school I had a satchel full of books, but the desire to read them (and study them) was zero. Start as children This is an often recommended method. You have to start reading from an early age to be able to continue reading as an adult. Yes, but how? The solutions are: parents have to think about it, perhaps reading the classic fairy tale to their children in the evening; the school must also think about it, not limiting itself to taking students to the library with the obligation to take a book.
