Sometimes the film can get them interested to find out how it all started and gets them reading.
I didn't have anyone read to me as a child but I picked up reading very early and quickly. It saved me from having a very dull and frustrating childhood.

I think I'm just lucky he loves being read to, I was the opposite when I was younger. Never had any interest in books until my teens but once I started I was reading around 4 per week. |

I just wanted him to read some proper literature for himself and the films gave him the motivation. I think it all depends on the child. As long as they become interested in reading and love good stories it's a case of whatever works for me |

Each child is different and what wakes the love, I read 3 or 4 books at the same times as a child, my daughter read so much it was hard to talk to her at times. By eldest wasn't bothered until I started reading to him... |
