Doing it in reverse is great too! I never would have read through Neil Gaiman without watching Good Omens or blowing through GoT after the first season because I didn’t want it to end. Reading requires more time, patience, and imagination than a movie or show so anything that will motivate a child to read wins. I found that bribing with the movie after the book helped and also severely limiting screen time while young so that it was more of a reward when it was earned.

That's absolutely fair! I was just curious as to your reasoning, because honestly, I've never heard that rule before.
You're right, whatever gets someone reading is the winner, in my opinion, be it movie first, or book first!
