I read to my kids at bedtime until they learned to read. Then I had them read to me.
Now whenever any of our grandkids spend the night I read to them. A good book is much better than technology any day!
Bedtime routines were essential and included the bedtime story for four children, each born seven years apart. There were specific books for specific ages which were memorized by my spouse and myself during this routine. As each child grew older and began to recognize words on each page, we would intentionally change the words to see if the child was following/listening. It became a game where each mistake would be ‘officially’ caught/recognized only if the child could point to the page where the error was made. This routine developed their reading and memory skills, which defeated our attempts to spell out parental dialog we did not intend them to understand and gave us many instances of giggle fits at the expense of our defeat.
