Protester getting his bong back

[Anonymous]

We tell him to share a chapter or two of books he chooses for school book reports.

Great idea, wish I had thought of that lol. Then he woulda read 'em over a period of time instead of the night before the report was due

I prefer oil in my pen.  Doesn't smell and helps me sleep.  Great way to end my night after reading 2 chapters to Lo before hitting the sack.

How old is too old to be reading to a kid?

Once they can start reading on their own.

Your child is never too old to be read to.  If nothing else, it's bonding and time with your child and that counts for A LOT.

I don't agree. Once they can read, I let them read on their own.



Now that they are adults, I will read something to them if I want to such as a good article or inspiration but not at bed time. No more bedtime stories for adult sons. However, if there is something I'd like to read to them before they sleep because I'd like them to think of it before they fall asleep, sure, I'd read it but it is not meant to be a bedtime story, just something to ponder on.

The idea is to encourage an interest in them to read on their own..



There is no set age in my opinion.

13 .............16........18 ????

I have read to seniors GORDY.

I haven't done this yet but I see this in my future.

There was no way that I would not expose my children to the best children's books of the time. I enjoyed reading to them immensely at bed time. Like my elders did for me when I was little, I too read the classics to my sons. Each time we went to the children's bookstore, I'd go to the rack where the books that won the Caldecott Medal were displayed. I wanted a book that won the Caldecott Medal because that meant it was a book that was selected as most distinguished American picture book for children. That's what I wanted! Only the best for my little ones. Favorites were:



Where the Wild Things Are

The Snowy Day

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Make Way for Ducklings

The Polar Express

Tuesday

Owl Moon

Good Night Moon

Runaway Bunny

Corduroy

Love You Forever (This is a tearjerker.)

Guess How Much I Love You

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

On the Day You Were Born

Most of the Dr. Seuss collection

Aesop's Fables

Grimm's Fairy Tales

Mother Goose Rhymes

I Love You to the Moon and Back

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

Mama Do You Love Me

Owl Babies

Madeline

If You Give A Mouse A Muffin

Barnyard Dance

Curious George

Babar

Tikki Tikki Tembo

Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?

D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths

The Story of Ferdinand

The Berenstain Bears books

Can't You Sleep Little Bear?

Beatrix Potter stories



I think I got them all but I'm sure I missed some.



On road trips, they would listen to the audio books as narrated by Jim Weiss and they were:

Abraham Lincoln

Masters of the Renaissance: Michelangelo, Leonardo DaVinci and more...

Galileo and the Stargazers

Stories from the Bible

King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table

Egyptian Treasures

Arabian Nights

American Tall Tales

Best Loved Stories

Sherlock Holmes

Tales from the Old Testament

Fairytale Favorites

Celtic Treasures

The Three Musketeers

Tales from Cultures Far and Near

Greek Myths

Treasure Island

Heroes in Mythology

Rip Van Winkle/Gulliver's Travels

Shakespeare for Children

Animal Tales



It seems like much, right? Not really. I simply wanted to give my children what was given to me too. I wanted them to know what I know. During this time of reading to them and listening to the audio books brought out the child in me. I enjoyed all these stories myself and I loved telling it to my sons and watch them be amazed at the stories.



Here is a link to Jim Weiss's collection. My children are adults now so Jim Weiss must have developed more stories. I recommend it highly for long road trips or even for listening while at home.

Your child is never too old to be read to.  If nothing else, it's bonding and time with your child and that counts for A LOT.

I don't agree. Once they can read, I let them read on their own.



Now that they are adults, I will read something to them if I want to such as a good article or inspiration but not at bed time. No more bedtime stories for adult sons. However, if there is something I'd like to read to them before they sleep because I'd like them to think of it before they fall asleep, sure, I'd read it but it is not meant to be a bedtime story, just something to ponder on.

I agree too, but the rationale for reading to children who can read is to encourage them to read on their own.

Agree or not, activities that involve bonding with children, including reading, are proven to strengthen family relationships, decrease anxiety, and provide calm and relaxation.

I have no objection to that.

Of course, Fash. I can't think of any parent I know who wouldn't want that for their children.

Most definitely.
