Did your parent(s) read to you as a child?

I can't honestly remember my parents ever reading to me. I learned to read at an early age, I think at like 4 or 5, so I've been told and I love to read today. I don't know if it is because they didn't or they did. I think it is a lost connection between parents and children today. Between work, television, and other stuff parents just don't seem willing to take the time to do things with children today.

ALL the time, and not only did she read to me, but she was a stay at home mom so she called me her little entertainment, so she would dress me up and have me perform for her as well, I started reading by 3 by fuor she started to teach me shakespeare my first being midsummer nights dream. Though when i was three she had me first "perform" the romeo and juliet snipets, which we luckily did get on tape, otherwise no one would believe me. My mom and Dad took a lot of time in educating me before i had even entered schooling, which i am eternally grateful for. My favorite was when shed have me read and then perform stories from grimms fairy tales, which i now am an avid collecter of.:)

NO. Its so sad that I did not have such an opportunity, reason being that both my parents are and were working. But i would have really loved to listen to them readout for me. But ya once or twice my grandmother did read bhagavadh geeta for us. ofcourse at that age we understood nothing other than the additional comments that our granny would make

no, i don't remember a time they read to me when I was a child but I now do this to my children. I think it is importatnt to read and share with your children.

Yes they did. I remember my mom always ordering those books from the scholastic fliers that you would bring home from school. She would read to me almost every night. I do the same with my children now. It really helps them learn to read alot faster. Me and my son alternate nights. I read a book to him one night, and he reads one to me the next.

Nope. They were always buying me books but they never read to me.

My mom read me alot of dr seuss books and some care bear ones. I also remember her reading me little red riding hood alot. I had a book that had kind of spooky but neat pictures of the forest and the wolf in it and there was this little cricket or something with an umbrella on every page. On every page he did something diffrent.

My mom and my aunt and my school teacher used to tell me children stories which i really enjoyed and so have loved reading story books. it gives you a high. It takes you intoa different world.

i had a whole collection of disney books and my mom and grandmother would always read them to me and my sister. now i do the same for my son =)

My parents read to me all the time. I loved reading as a child and still do. My m om would take me to the library every week and we would always come out with the maximum number of books that you were allowed to check out!

My Mother read nursey rhymes to us. I read to my children and Grandchildren. Some of my grandchildren live far from me and when they were little I would read books on to tape for them. I was one way of making memories and keeping in touch

My parents read to me all the time. It wasn't just children's stories like "the Night Before Christmas" or "Raggedy Ann". It was all kinds of books, including some that were considered by others to be too difficult for children to understand. My favorites were among these. Even before I went to kindergarten, I loved the complete "Gulliver's Travels", "Robin Hood", "King Author and the Knights of the Round Table" and "Anderson's Fairy Tales". This led me to a lifetime of reading and when my daughter came along, I read to her even before she was born. Every day I would read to her, sometimes for hours. I read chldren's books, science books, comics and adult books (specially fantasies). It was a great way to bond and often the high point of both our days. Not only was it lots of fun, but I can't help but believe that it was a factor in her becoming an excellent student.

Yes my mom always read Disney books to us.

My parents use to read The Shy Little Kitten to me when I was little.

Yes, my mother and grandmother both read to me.

I remember a collection of fairy tales that my mom read to my brother and me. She also read The Poky Little Puppy. And, she made up stories.

Yes, alot of dr. seuass. Also alot of books that i honestly don't remember now! and it was my mom, not my dad.

My mother read the nursery rhymes to us I used to know a lot of them.

Yes, my dad did.

odd as it may seem, I can't remember one since time my parents read to me:-(
