Sometimes just being camped out on the couch each reading your own book or magazine silently (but together) is a nice bonding time too. And it subtly sets the example that reading isn't just for kids. We read to our toddler each night before bedtime and quite often at random other times. Other parents talk about their kids re-watching the same DVDs over and over - our son is that way with books! He has a fistful of favorites and he gravitates to those well-worn books repeatedly. And by the way, there's a huge bonding tip - turn off the TV! There's NOTHING on TV that's as richly interactive and mentally stimulating on so many subtle levels as time spent with you, the parents, can be. .-= Rob O.´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.2dolphins.com/2009/07/can-apple-save-handwriting.html" rel="nofollow">Can Apple Save Handwriting?</a> =-.

Obviously this technique worked well for you. Reading is so important to a child's success in school and beyond. Reading books above their level to them is a fantastic suggestion! @Dan - Reading children stories from the Bible is a great way to build their interest and plant seeds for the future. Also, I think your investment in time with your kids will pay off big dividends down the road! Thanks for adding your thoughts! @Paula – That’s great! Obviously this technique worked well for you.

We are also trying to get the daily devotional (also read aloud) to be part of our daily lives as well. Still working on that one. Also, before lights out, I take a few minutes to lie down with each child and talk through the day and the following day. It's a great tradition for our family and bonds me very closely to my kids despite navy deployments and duty. .-= Dan Smith´s last blog ..<a href="http://differentfrequencies.blogspot.com/2009/07/overcoming-disadvantage.html" rel="nofollow">Overcoming a Disadvantage</a> =-.

I read to my boys for many years after they could read for themselves. I was still reading to my oldest when he was 12 or so. The younger one decided he was "too old" for me to read to him at about 10 or 11. Different personalities. As they began to read for themselves, I found that what they wanted from me was to read books that were above their reading level. They had the ability to understand more complex material than they could comfortably read for themselves. We don't read aloud any more, but they still read avidly and we talk about what they are reading - now they like to share with me! .-= Paula´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MakingTheGoodLife/~3/eGMil4JW75E/58" rel="nofollow">What do you want?</a> =-.

My 9-year old really enjoys it when we read to her. I'll bet your grandchildren would love it. Pick a book that you enjoyed when you were a kid and read them a chapter a day. Reading to your kids ROCKS! Thanks for letting me know you liked this! @Stephen – Thanks! My 9-year old really enjoys it when we read to her. I’ll bet your grandchildren would love it.
