Set it on your menu item:

If they are not already there, in your template folder:

# Edit the menu item
−
# Create a new folder called 'html'.

# Go to tab Advanced Options
−
# In that folder you create a folder called 'com_content'.

# Set "Show readmore" to Show
−
# And in that folder you create the folders called "category", "frontpage" and "article"

# Set "Show title with readmore" to Show
