According to my sister (teacher and reading specialist) the magic developmental number is three books a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-to-your-lo-every-day#post-190887 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 04:30:10 +0000 pastemoo 190887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>almost every day (probably every other day)--he's 3.5weeks old<br /> and loves story time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-to-your-lo-every-day#post-190874 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 02:57:08 +0000 looch 190874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: good to know! Right now my son's books are mostly picture books with very few words, but I've just ordered up a new crop and will be more consistent and see what happens. Thanks for the tip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-to-your-lo-every-day#post-190859 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 01:21:45 +0000 mrbee 190859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I used to do that too, until I realized that Charlie was absorbing way more than I thought! I would pause at certain words and he would blurt them out if he knew them. I started being much more faithful to the text, and he started memorizing a lot more words and phrases from his books! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-to-your-lo-every-day#post-190854 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 01:17:18 +0000 looch 190854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but I don't always read the words in the books, sometimes I make up stories to go along with the pictures.</p> <p>This is in addition to the reading at nap and bedtimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-to-your-lo-every-day#post-190848 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 01:04:30 +0000 lemondrop 190848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do now!<br /> We have started recently, it took him a little over 4 months to pay attention to books and me reading. He loves the Boyington books! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-to-your-lo-every-day#post-190846 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 00:59:51 +0000 Sweet T 190846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not everyday. I hope to get into a better habit of doing so. My grandparents recently sent a bunch of books to DS and he likes to flip through them even though he's only 9 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-to-your-lo-every-day#post-190184 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:48:37 +0000 autumnlove 190184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, at least 2 books a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-to-your-lo-every-day#post-190097 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:36:02 +0000 Andrea 190097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, DD loves it. She wakes up and wants to read books first thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-to-your-lo-every-day#post-190070 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:30:13 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 190070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Baby Y has become a voracious reader lately. We sit in the nursery, where he has tons of books in his IKEA bins, and he throws book after book at me. And believe it or not, he sits patiently and looks at (nearly) every page very intently before throwing another book at me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-to-your-lo-every-day#post-190059 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:28:34 +0000 chopsuey 190059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not every day. :P I really should, but I can barely get through a couple of pages before she starts clawing at the book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-to-your-lo-every-day#post-190040 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:25:42 +0000 mrbee 190040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's part of Charlie's bedtime ritual! I'd like to read to him more though...</p> <p>Do you read to your lo every day? </p>
