The taste for reading: nature or nurture?


Is reading a taste we’re born with – we either have it or don’t? Or is it an instilled, educated, nurtured taste? I tend to go with the latter.

We belong to a large community of like-minded parents, constantly preoccupied with books to read to their children from early age. The time we dedicate on children’s books is the same or more than on adult books.

Ultimately, my end of the day thought is, “no matter what, at least we’ve tried .”

What do you think? Is reading all about nature or nurture?
