Did your parents read books to you as a child?

Maybe? I don’t remember it but we always had books and I began devouring every book I could get my hands on as soon as I could read, so I don’t really remember needing to be read to.
Not that I can remember. I think my older half sister read to all of us. We went to the library ever second Saturday morning without fail. My parents were strong supporters of learning. As long ad I can remember I took out as many books ad i could Carry held in both my arsm stacked high. I was comfortable in thd adult section quite early. Aftet a short time no one bothered to as if I was lost and in the wrong department.

@PoetryNEmotion Me too. I read Lord Of the Rings, a few original Star War novels, almost everything Ann McCaffrey ever did, um... Frank Herbert...
I don't think I was 10...

Yes, and I'm truly convinced that it helped me to do well in school.

My mom did, and I ended up basically teaching myself to read by about four.

Yes, both of them did. Considering I've been an avid reader since I was at least 5, I thank them for that. :)

I think it is wonderful thing to do and the more traditional the better, the wealth of beautiful stories should not be ignored just for the newest stuff.
What do you mean the newest stuff? @CathyUK
SW-User
Yes. But Mom taught me and my sisters to read by age 3 so we read to each other.
