Hi,
That's all very well in the forms of ideas represented, but the problem is that it does not usually work! I am being a little cynical here, but my experience says that very few will get into the habit of reading once they reach adulthood. Reading anchors its roots in childhood, and that's where parents can help to instill the habit (start reading stories to kids at bedtime, etc.).
I hope this helps! Let me know if you need further assistance.

@Nessential: You would be surprised to see how many people acquire a healthy reading habit after they attain adulthood. We at BodhiSutra encourage all our students to develop a reading habit, and these are some of the tips that have worked really well with adults who were not "childhood readers".
I agree, the best time to initiate someone into reading is during childhood. However, the hope is not lost even if you have attained adulthood and were not a reader during childhood :) The point is, reading is such an important ingredient for success; it will almost be suicidal for anyone who wants to achieve success to say, "Well, my mom and dad didn't make me a reader so I can't become a reader ever".
It may be tough because it asks for introducing something into your daily routine that does not exist right now. However, it's worth it and it's very much possible :)

Hi,
Okay. I am an avid reader (Currently reading "The Amateurs" by John Niven, a book I chanced upon in the British Library here at Chandigarh, and I am TOTALLY enjoying it. It is hilarious, and I recommend it as a fantastic read). Anyway, the point is that I am approached by a lot of people who can read but cannot, and they want to get into this habit. Do you have a product with which I can practice with this segment and see the efficacy? I can be reached at 9872224712. I am now running my training firm.

Me thinks developing any habit in adulthood would take a lot of effort - simply because it becomes difficult to sustain motivation and also there are so many things competing for your time and attention.
But yes, nothing like it if someone is able to develop a reading habit at the grown-up stage.
