[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't you read to your kids??? I'm flabbergasted at this.[/quote]

:roll: My 6 yr old reads to himself before going to bed.  Once the kid can read, why do you have to read to them?[/quote]
 
Because it's a nice bonding experience and kids should be read to a lot longer than jsut age six. Just bc your child can read doesn't mean s/he doesn't enjoy being read to... sometimes at least.

In addition to being a nice family experience, it's a great way to continue to build vocabulary. Also, children can listen to more complex & interesting storylines than they can read themselves. Why don't you ask your kid if he/she would enjoy it? Doesn't even have to be at bedtime. [/quote]

My kid has hated being read to since she learned how to read. Even if I read her something short, like the description for a class she might like to take, she'd wait until I finish, and then ask to read it herself. Really, not EVERYONE likes being read to. [/quote]
