Worst enemy of reading are Literature classes.

There are lots of great books in Spanish Literature, but in the classroom they always had us read the worst ones - usually because the author had been killed byt this or thatfaction during some historical event and therefore he was to be revered as a hero. As a result kids grew up learning books wereboring as fuck.

Meanwhile my parents gave me good books as a kid and I grew up learning books are cool.

It seems to me if youwant kids to read, you just need to hand them stories worth reading first of all.
