According to the Telegraph, 2,000 parents were also polled. The article explained: “It found 76% of adults had encountered bad literacy amongst youngsters, with one in 10 having been ‘shocked’ by their own child’s poor spelling and reading skills. More than half of the adults polled said they had difficulty getting their children to read books outside school.”
Psychology professor Dr. Robert Weis studied how to get boys to read. He encouraged parents to restrict access to video games and the Internet while providing reading material and quiet space. Share your suggestions in the comments section.

It's great if fathers can set aside a little time each they to read to their boys.
You can hold as many lectures to your kids as you want, but don't forget:
Seeing is believing.
They have to see you enjoying books!

I think that it is helpful to have books at home (as many as possible, your own or library books), and read yourself.
Children learn from you, first. Read a lot and they will follow suit.
