March is Reading Month!

My favorite children is I'll Love You Forever.  It is my favorite children's book because my mom used to read it to me as I fell asleep each night, and it would always calm me down if I was having a bad day.  Going back and reading it today makes me really sad and choked up because of all the memories that are in that book for my family. 

Teenagers today just do not like to read because it is not something visibly entertaining like a video game or a computer.  You have to actually use your IMAGINATION while reading, which is something that children of today's society has lost a grasp on.  I admit that I am one of the those kids, partially because I do enjoy video games, but also because I have no time to fit reading into my busy schedule.  To get teenagers interested in reading once more I believe it would take all parents to take away game systems or buy magazines or books that are involved in what these kids play.  I know for a fact that there are books that incorporate video game characters.
