Growing up I never really got into reading for fun, mostly due because the school I went too didn't understand reading comprehension issues and "incentivized" reading. They set a limit of reading 5 books within some time frame in order to go to recess this one special day and/or attend this party they were having. I wanted to go, but really couldn't catch up. I felt left behind. The reward should be the reading, not some external source or something a child should be getting by default.
I know this was a little part of my life, but It really stuck with me and still to this day don't enjoy reading fiction for fun due to the negative implications growing up. Occasionally I start to read some fiction but end up getting it on audible to listen too.
