[quote=Anonymous]My mom was a junior high librarian and my parents read to me nightly until 2nd or 3rd grade. We read chapter books that were a bit beyond my reading abilities - Of mice and men, watership down, Charlotte's web, dr. Dolittle, etc. Around first grade I would read part and then they would read. By mid-elementary I would read to them as our night time routine. After that I would read by myself for 30 min before bed. It seems odd to read out loud to a HS student. What we would do in Jr high and HS was to read the same books as a family and discuss them. Mostly we'd read the books I was reading for school and it was helpful because then my parents could read my papers or quiz me when I was studying. I'm an only child with a mom who read young adult lit for a living - not sure if I could do what she did with me with my own kids. [/quote]
