[quote=Anonymous]Let it go. You don't want to make reading unpleasant, and you REALLY don't want to make it a power struggle. You're also making unnecessary work for yourself based on trying to fit your kid into a mold they weren't made in. Personally, if the 3.5-year-old can read, I'd have her read to the toddler. Heck, even if she can't read, have her point out pictures to the toddler. Kids very often imitate their older siblings. Or sit in the living room and read a short book to the 3.5-year-old. Don't worry about the toddler paying attention or not; have fun reading to the kid who enjoys it, and model reading as a pleasurable activity. [/quote]
