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

Technology hasn't changed the way we read at all, they have a little library here and love choosing the bedtime book, so much better being able to turn the pages and feel the book.

it hasn't really - we make sure we have half an hour of reading books before bed every day

have printed storied from internet to read, prefer paper than an i pad

I often read to DGS at bedtime and I do so in exactly the same way as I read to his Mum. We snuggle up and take turns in reading until I start to see yawns! He is, like most children, computer mad but I find this does not change the nature of the stories, usually a goody, a baddy, good and evil etc. However, the 'props' used in the books are different, usually involving electronic things that can be envisaged, having seen computer games. They used to be more in the imagination, sort of science fiction, because special effects were not as impressive. He appears to really enjoy actually holding the book. I think it is a sort of comfort at bedtime.

My eldest Grandson likes both books on the Kindle and paperbacks to read,
But the three year old likes to be read to from books with pictures.

My grandchildren get to choose 2 books each per night. One from both parents. They love parents I pad but are not allowed it in bed.

I have only been a Gran for just over 2 years, so have no history before then but I read to my two Grandsons just the way I read to their Dad. Kids always love "silly voices" and anything that involves actions - so that hasn't changed, thank goodness!

Reading books on Kindle is a technology that helps greatly because the font can be made bigger and easier to read than many books. I collect old children's classic books but have to ask grandchildren to read some words to me, the font is too small for old eyes.

My Grandchildren take it in turn to choose and/or read the story before bedtime at my house. We keep a special calendar to mark who's turn it is for the story and who sleeps in which bed (there are 3 children). The girls are always really happy with each others choices but moan and groan when their little brother chooses a book. His usual choices being anything with a Dinosaur, a Digger or a Pirate in it. They all love illustrations and enjoy showing the pictures when they read aloud, something technology has not changed at all.

No, I don't think so. My 8 year old gd loves reading and has many books in her room. Her 6 year old brother is not so keen so I try to find books that may catch his interest and keep it - not always easy!
As they have become older, getting them away from their tablets is the main problem.

I don't feel that technology has changed the way I read to my Grandchildren. You cant beat having them crawl up on your knee to have a story. We are also having story time on the carpet for the 20month DGS as he hasn't quite grasped the sitting listening at toddlers so we are doing this in addition to the more intimate story and a cuddle. The older DGC have moved on with their personal reading to using the Kindle along side their books, but they also have times where we all sit and read together from a book.
