Suppose you have good reason to believe your child who is a poor reader and has average or lsuperior native ability to be- |come a good reader, but evinces) ino interest in reading and, |therefore, no effort in this di- rection. Suppose you are sure your after, if he is able to escape it. It is wonderful if you can find ways of arousing interest and consequent effort in your child in any matter of learning.
