NOW CLOSED: Competition: Win one of five Lost My Name's new personalised books

Not at all. They all love to have 'proper' books read to them especially at bed time, or in the case of one who has just started school, he likes to read to us. He has an amazing ability and probably reads better than I, which is a bit of a . They like to drift off to sleep to a story and hopefully sweet dreams. One of the SiL's is an editor and the house is full of books which is a lovely environment for their children to grow up in.

We read 'proper ' books even though the eldest two have tablets. GD is balanced but GS is totally addicted to the tablet.

My 5yr old granddaughter likes me to read to her from my laptop or tablet during the day but at bedtime it is always a proper book as she calls them. I have introduced both her and her baby brother to the local library and they get books from there. She even got a medal and certificate for taking part in the summer reading scheme where they had to read a certain amount of books (6 I think) during the school summer holidays. I like to listen to her read now and she is getting very good. Precious moments spent with her.

I still read to them, sharing books whether in print or on a kindle doesn't matter, its the sharing that counts

Being an avid reader myself, this has been an inspiration to my two granddaughters and therefore they have learnt by example and quickly picked up a reading ability. When they come to stay their books come with them and they read themselves to sleep.

Abolutely not! The interaction between tactile book and child is impossible with a mobile phone or tablet.

My grandchildren have always been read to, as were their parents and we have all inherited a love of readings and literature.

My youngest grandson is a real 'wham bamm' boy, charging around at 150 miles per hour however...... suggest my reading him a story and he curls up on my lap and snuggles in, ready for the adventure to begin...

It's not changed anything at all for me, I'm a big fan of real books and that's what we stick with. It's so much better for interaction.

I don't feel it has changed the way I read to my grand daughter. Some of the books we read have an association with TV programmes or films.

I love to read traditional books to my grandchildren and we like looking at the pictures together.

it hasn't. i still read from a book, just like always!

Technology can enhance the reading experience and encourage children to access books from a different angle.

I still read from books to my grandchildren. just like I did with my children
You can not beat a good book.

I embrace all technology except round a book paper books are precious the look feel and smell could never be replaced by a Kindle, there nothing more I enjoy then snuggling up in bed with my grandchildren to read a bedtime story as I did with my children........

I still read the old fashioned way - books. My grandchildren especially the girls love to sit by Nana and we read. In fact Skye who is 6 reads to me now, lovely!

At the moment reading is still very much book orientated, however I'm sure that in the future this will change. In school children are given books to read and much of the learning is still based on 'traditional' methods, but as technology progresses this is now starting to change and technology is used more in the classroom than it ever was. Technology is supporting most subjects. As more children have access to laptops and tablets in the future world they may well be given a book name or code and it will be downloaded. For the time being I am pleased to be able to pick up a book with real pages and enjoy the time spent together.

Technology hasn't changed my reading habits, my children's, or my grandchildren's. We LOVE books, our homes are full of them, and reading together happens several times a day. The little ones do have access to pads, but rarely ask to use them, they're far more likely to be making up LEGO, playing with dough, or racing round the garden before settling down to a story or three.

I prefer to read books with my granddaughter as at her age, 3, the illustrations help bring the story to life - she enjoys pointing to the pictures in relation to the story. She is happy looking at books on car journeys and enjoys turning the pages herself.

I use technology to look for recommended books, read the reviews and enter competitions to win books.

NO, We still read paper books, the children help turn the pages and point to the pictures

My granddaughter has loved old-fashioned page turning books from a very early age, and I love the bedtime cuddles that come with story time. No sign of new technology taking over yet.

Our 5yr old Grandson is very competent in using the Ipad. He enjoys interactive stories, that I would find for him. However, he much prefers a good old fashioned book. Now he is in P2 he loves going to Bookworms, an after school club. His enthusiasm is a joy to behold and I am amazed at how quickly he is learning to read and write.

Playing on the Ipad has fired his imagination and opened his eyes to what the world has to offer. Technology can distract, whereas a book helps him to focus on the task in hand.

I have just realised, a number of his toys are broken, his books are still like new.

Although all the technology we have nowadays is marvellous it will never replace the feel and smell of a book. My son is 12 now and rarely reads, however when he was younger we used to have a story every night. His favourite was The Gruffalo and he knew it off by heart. I used to swap words around and he always corrected me!! My favourite book to read him was Stick Man because it always made him cringe when I said Stick Lady Love!!! In some ways I wish he was still that little boy so as I could carry on reading to him as that was our special time.

Technology hasn't really changed the way I read to my grandchildren, still using my childrens books too, which I kept.

DGD (4) used to love being read to but is going through a phase now of not being interested in books, she just wants to play on Daddy's iPad. However, DGS (9), has gone through that phase - now he is old enough to read to himself he just wants to read all the time. I think both children want to take control of their own entertainment and aren't so interested in interacting - don't know if both being only children has anything to do with this, reading to children was a whole family experience when I was a child and a parent.

Technology is an advantage really. Especially with a Kindle ereader, because they have more choice. When they decide on which story they would like to hear, I read to them from the Kindle. Lots more choice, and no clutter

I agree with Jollypot - easier to find the books I know that I want - however I feel that this has made it harder to evaluate books in a real bookshop as they now tend to stock such "obvious" choices.
I don't even have an independent shop anymore as Amazon and supermarkets etc. have driven them out of business.
