[quote=Anonymous]Are they perhaps too tired, OP? Please don't make it unpleasant for them - your efforts will backfire. My kids were always quiet and reasonably attentive during reading time, BUT I didn't read to them every night. Only occasionally, as a special treat, when I was energetic enough to do all the voices, some acting, and make it into a whole production :-) Honestly I don't find it educational to read every night to young kids. I'm a bookworm, and my kids are bookworms. Both were able to read Harry Potter books in Kindergarten, so not reading every day didn't hurt them. I think the biggest factor in getting them to love reading was that they saw ME enjoy my own books! I also taught them to read instead of waiting for overworked public school teachers to do it.
