Not just in the UK. In the U.S. too. We have never been able to get our daughter interested in reading. We read to her every night when she was a kid, but once she learned to read, she wasn’t interested in reading or us reading to her. She can read. She has no reading disabilities. When she’s assigned a book in school, she has no issue reading it and doing tests on it and such.
But reading just doesn’t interest her in the slightest. It breaks her librarian mother’s heart, but nothing seems to convince her.
I’m more curious as to why someone who apparently doesn’t like reading and writing is posting on a text-based forum.
