A few questions please:
  1. What is your number 1 challenge in getting your kids to read ?

  2. Assuming reading is only one part of the equation (the 2-d part is action and applying the knowledge) what is your number 1 challenge in getting them to absorb the information and use it in real life?

  3. What strategies/tools/platforms do you use to help your kids to read, absorb, and apply ?

Thank you!
