We read 2-3 at both nap and bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/average-amount-of-books-you-read-to-lo-per-day#post-2483458 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 15:05:57 +0000 HLK208 2483458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We read for about 45 minutes a day. A half hour before bed out of a chapter book and about 15 minutes of pictures books throughout the day. So probably 5-6? I feel like I'm buying new books every week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/average-amount-of-books-you-read-to-lo-per-day#post-2483379 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:40:59 +0000 Orchid 2483379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 12 to 15 if we are stuck indoors due to the weather, more like 5 to 10 if we go for morning and afternoon walks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/average-amount-of-books-you-read-to-lo-per-day#post-2483357 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:33:19 +0000 gingerbebe 2483357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>18 months. Board books are what's up around here. I would say he wants DH and I to each read about 3-4 books to him a day, and he wants them repeated 2-3x each. But the board books are like picture or word books and no more than 10 pages long, so not a big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/average-amount-of-books-you-read-to-lo-per-day#post-2483354 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:32:35 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2483354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately it's his favourite thing. We've read the same one a few times today. He's got about 4 favourites right now that we read multiple times every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/average-amount-of-books-you-read-to-lo-per-day#post-2483353 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:32:03 +0000 runnerd 2483353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We typically read 2-4 books per day, but will read each book 2-3x because LO demands us to repeat :) we are still mostly on board books or I would protest more about repeats lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/average-amount-of-books-you-read-to-lo-per-day#post-2483350 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:31:26 +0000 skipra 2483350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We read for at least 10 minutes before nap and LO1's bedtime plus a couple books before LO2's bedtime. So at the absolute minimum about 6 books a day. In the winter we also read a lot throughout the day but when it's nice we spend more time outside and less time reading. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/average-amount-of-books-you-read-to-lo-per-day#post-2483349 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:29:27 +0000 LulaBee 2483349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At least 4 at bedtime, and more during the day if it's the weekend. During the week we use books on cd/record so we can get stuff done. But being read to is her FAVORITE THING EVER. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/average-amount-of-books-you-read-to-lo-per-day#post-2483347 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:28:54 +0000 looch 2483347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a couple of pages at bedtime with me, he's into the latest issue of Consumer Reports. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/average-amount-of-books-you-read-to-lo-per-day#post-2483343 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:27:41 +0000 twodoghouse 2483343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 10+. At least! We read 2-3 at nap, 2-3 at bedtime, plus they bring me books all day long to read to them. They don't always sit still for some of the longer books, but if it's a board book we might read through it several times in one sitting before I can convince them to switch to another book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/average-amount-of-books-you-read-to-lo-per-day#post-2483335 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:24:27 +0000 deerylou 2483335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read her new library books over breakfast, each morning. Then she gets a few before bed. She occasionally asks for me to read throughout the day, as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/average-amount-of-books-you-read-to-lo-per-day#post-2483330 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:22:59 +0000 jhd 2483330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @snowjewelz: Some days none and others lots! We may need to make it part of the bedtime routine at some point but for now it's all over the place. We read a ton in his first year and he really does love books, he just doesn't want to sit still just now. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/average-amount-of-books-you-read-to-lo-per-day#post-2483323 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:18:48 +0000 Mrs. D 2483323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We make a point of 3 at bedtime, but sometimes I'll read 4-5 depending on her mood and wakefulness. Other than that, not many during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/average-amount-of-books-you-read-to-lo-per-day#post-2483317 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:17:39 +0000 snowjewelz 2483317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some days it's zero, but once she starts 1 book, we usually go through like 6-8! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/average-amount-of-books-you-read-to-lo-per-day#post-2483312 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:16:00 +0000 travellingbee 2483312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We read about three books at bedtime but I know he reads at least three books at school too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/average-amount-of-books-you-read-to-lo-per-day#post-2483305 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:13:50 +0000 catlady 2483305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anywhere from 5 to a million. It's the same books over and over again though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/average-amount-of-books-you-read-to-lo-per-day#post-2483302 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:13:28 +0000 Adira 2483302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2-3 at bedtime, but I know they get story-time at daycare too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/average-amount-of-books-you-read-to-lo-per-day#post-2483301 Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:12:39 +0000 tinyperson 2483301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3-4?

The girls have been so into other things it slips my mind, despite the hundreds of books we have around here. They have a reading challenge at school so we will pick up the slack this month. Normally we read a few books per day, on average. </p>
