To the Editor:
KJ Dell'Antonia asks if there's a right way to bribe children to read. Give them cold hard cash? Provide quality family time? To give weight to her research, she consults with a variety of reading and brain experts.

But you don't need a Ph.D. to know the correct answer: Bribing children to learn anything is a bad idea. It's bad because it takes the focus away from the inherent value of the activity. Worse, it teaches children that manipulation is a good thing.

So what to do if we want kids to read? An obvious strategy is to help children find texts that interest them. It doesn't matter what the material is. Reading skills improve largely through practice.

Sure, there are useful habits, like looking up a puzzling word and telling someone about what was read. But mainly the "secret" is read read read. If children resist, then it's better to require reading - as a parent might require any task - rather than use extrinsic rewards, which in the end numb the love of learning.

The writer taught nonfiction writing at San Jose State University and is the author of children's books. To the Editor:
Infants and children get a special reward from being read to: the intimacy of those moments when a parent is completely theirs. This often establishes a lasting link between reading and happiness.

Adolescents and parents can strengthen their connection through reading, too. In high school, my son had to read 25 books a year. His father would get his own copy. They'd compare thoughts about the plots and characters, and playfully compete over who would finish first.

Now that he's grown, that son loves reading. Father and son value those times.

I agree with KJ Dell'Antonia's final point that creating a family culture for reading is more effective than monetary bribes. Reading is like anything: The more you genuinely love it, the more you will do it, and the better you get at it. But I want to add that first and foremost is to be a model yourself for your child.

Do your children see you reading? Do they see you genuinely connecting to the reading experiences in your own life? Parents should know that reading "easy" texts like comics and other lighter fare in the summer is as helpful to reading skill-building as the grade-level texts schools require.

The enjoyable text at any level builds stamina, engagement and motivation in your child, all critical strengths the child can take back to school for the start of the school year.

Millennials Don't Exist! Adam Conover at Deep Shift

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
A millennial marketing conference asked me to give a talk on how to market to millennials. The thesis of the talk I gave: Millennials don't exist and the entire idea of "generations" is unscientific, condescending, and stupid. For more misconception destruction, check out my show ADAM RUINS EVERYTHING on TruTV!

I have learned how to run code in computer science. When I first started I got stuck on simple mistakes that halted my code. Now I can run code and figure out how to manipulate code to interact, calculate, and draw pictures for me.
