Reading to children is a privilege and a pleasure. My DH read to our three children every night and to our grandchildren when they lived with us. He took it as far as her teenage years with one granddaughter where they would read alternate chapters to each other. She now has a very strong relationship with him though her love of books has sadly somewhat declined with the advance of the mobile phone.
