Friend (and parent!) Christine offers this advice: “Limit the video game time, and place good books strategically around the house. Read from them yourself, and share a funny passage to pique their interest.”

Facebook friend Scott says “How do you get boys to read? One word – girls.”

Which of course is highlighted in the headline of one of the links in the post:

But it’s not just “girls.” It’s girls, and zombies, and funny stuff!
