If you read, you need to read this book

The Reading Solution is a book of solutions for every problem that might arise at any age. If you want your children or students to love books and reading, this book tells all about it. The book is not only for parents but also for teachers and school librarians. I am an elementary school librarian and I don't know what I would've done without this book. I highly recommend it, and I don't even have kids yet.
