Reading at bedtime for kids - Icecub - 24-01-2005

The kids do not get many stories read to them, as they prefer to do it themselves. I am impressed with their current choice of books. One is reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and the other is reading Watership Down..... Not bad reading for 8 year olds!! :p
When they do want to be read to, we will normally read one of the Series of Unfortunate Events books.....

My son is 2 1/2 & loves being read to. We have a bedtime story most nights. His current favourites are Goldilocks & The Three Bears; Mr Brown Can Moo, Can You (Dr Seuss) & a series of Winnie The Pooh books. I know all these books by heart now! :wall: He does too & corrects me if I use the wrong voice for a character! :crylol:

Sooi... i used to when he was smaller, also the modern book of bible stories - which we started from the beginning...he loved that.... :read: :read:
He has two bookcases in his bedroom stuffed with books as i encourage him to read as much as possible...always have told him that you learn as you read and therefore your knowledge is expanded through that...:thumbs:

You wouldn't believe how entertaining I can be to a toddler!
His soft toys each have their own voice & often act out the stories in his books. I'm a pro at Boogie-Beebies. We can both salsa using rattles as shakers & I can roar like a tiger! 
These are just the skills I'm willing to reveal in public!

That's what we started with, and my kids still have all the books......But they are 8 now and they read more advanced stuff.
