My kids are older teenagers and they’ve also gone through phases of reading and not reading. I persist in gifting them each a book at Christmas. You never know when they might see it on the shelf and suddenly be inspired.

I like that strategy!! I also cherish the hope that she is reaping secretly - as in hiding it from me because I’d have a super corny, earnest reaction lol.

Love this! I like how you were preparing for the glory of a teenager who reads! If it's any consolation, I've found that kids often ebb and flow with reading. I'm sure you will have a positive influence in the end 😉
