When should I stop reading to my child?

The short answer - they are never too old!

Reading a book to your child is more than teaching them the skills of reading. Sharing a story builds bonds with your child and is a special time, especially at the end of a busy day. Kids want to spend time with their parents. Reading a chapter of a novel to your child in Year 4, 5 or 6 is a great way to spend time together. It also:

• Encourages reading
• Helps with comprehension and vocabulary
• Helps you understand your child’s interest
• Gives you something else to talk about together
• Can be a springboard into important conversations about characters that reflect real life experiences

You can read books one or two years above your child’s reading ability. Here are some great websites for book ideas:
