B...Hi Fiona, yes I do think it starts in childhood. But I think that the range of reasons for adults to read is narrower, and is mainly centred on pleasure, savouring the story and characters, being lost in the experience of the creative world that the book enables the reader to create. I also suspect that as a result it's less common than for children who also re-read to hone their skills and re-visit a book previously encountered at a less sophisticated level. Thanks for this excellent question.

Example, rediscovering the pleasure, finding new meanings in the story etc? I have beloved books I reread, even though I know exactly what's coming next.Fiona Ingramhttp://www.fionaingram.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200808769555430311.post-80627940301073622322010-02-14T11:17:08.135+11:002010-02-14T11:17:08.135+11:00Thanks Prue, PQ & Keith.

Good point Keith about the new experience of a book when their skill has grown. With growing literacy strategies, language and knowledge of the world, they will continue to discover new things. Nice to hear from all of you.

Not that they'll ever admit to that, of course.Keith Schochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04487459160222497971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200808769555430311.post-36519546485026917742010-02-13T21:32:11.780+11:002010-02-13T21:32:11.780+11:00My 11 year old will regularly re-read books and I ...My 11 year old will regularly re-read books and I have often wondered if this is a worthwhile venture.
