If you want your kids to read books then they should see you reading books.

  If my attention was in a book, I'd be looking up to find one on the roof, one trailing blood and one packing pencils into the toilet. I'd also not be cooking or cleaning or spending the 1000th hour on the phone with the kids insurance provider. This between activities, assisting with 4-6 hours of homework, working, etc. Reading typically came out of sleep time. source: father of 5

  Reading to kids every night early on helps. Not being pressured to read stupid crap in school helps. "You can get a library card once you learn to read" helped. Piles of books lying around helps. Older brothers reading a lot helps, especially for reading recommendations. (Father of 3, youngest is 14 now. after a while, the biggest problem is keeping them in books they haven't read)
