Before my children were 8, I read to them every night. EVERY night.
As an educator I see that children who are read to a lot, will develop a love for reading and will recognize words earlier than children who are not exposed to books, poems, newspapers etc.

i don't but wish i could. i really don't have enough time to do so. i;m a single mother and work full-time plus go to school full-time. i hat it but i know at the end it will pay off. she thinks that i hate her because i never spend any time with her. that alone kills me inside. i try to explain to her that i work so much and go to school to give her a better life then i had but she is only six and will not understand that. ihope that one day ishe will realize why i worked so hard and why i am the way i am. hopefully she weill be just like me when she gets older. i want to show her that she can rely on herself and me all the time. i hope that she turns out to be the best she can be.

I feel like a horrible mother...I don't read to my daughter at all before bed time. In fact, I hardly ever read to her. Her attention span doesn't last as long as the books, usually. It frustrates me.

I dont have children yet,but I want some and i will read to them every night.I read to my brothers and sisters every night,though,but sometimes it gets pretty tiring.I just keep it up and never give in.

I try to read to them everynight, if we don't read we'll make up stories, or sing songs. It's a very comforting thing for parent and child to do together. I'm a little scared of the day they no longer want to do it.

not just at night but during the day many times also.
took them to the library for storytime, too.
reading every night is a good bedtime ritual.

We read every night when mine was little. It was our ritual. His favorite was the Little House on the Prairie series. It was interesting.
