During the week I'd say we've been reading him a book anywhere from 0-6 times per day (usually Little Blue Truck) plus whatever gets read at daycare. On weekends, definitely more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-books-a-day#post-2640089 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 08:27:18 +0000 looch 2640089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That I read, one. I don't stress about it too much because in Kindergarten, he is both being read to and reading on his own multiple times a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-books-a-day#post-2640088 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 08:26:00 +0000 Cherrybee 2640088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>S has four every night before bed and as many as she wants during the day. Today, we read every one of her Little Miss books (she has the whole set) before breakfast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-books-a-day#post-2640071 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 07:49:58 +0000 caterw 2640071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She gets either 2 shorter or one longer story read aloud for nap and bed, plus she "reads" to herself and I will read to her sporadically throughout the day. So I guess minimum of three to 20 depending on what else we are doing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-books-a-day#post-2640057 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 07:27:44 +0000 LulaBee 2640057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4 year old loves books more than anything, and would seriously sit and be read to all day. But she goes to daycare, so I'm not sure how much they read there, but we usually do 4-5 books at bedtime each night, maybe a few in the afternoon if we have time. My 11 month old could care less about books. She's not read to daily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-books-a-day#post-2640023 Thu, 20 Oct 2016 23:10:01 +0000 lamariniere 2640023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fewer now that they are older and the books are longer. We probably average 3 a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-books-a-day#post-2639968 Thu, 20 Oct 2016 20:16:30 +0000 catgirl 2639968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 15-20 books, all multiple times. Some days she gets really fixated on just 2 or 3 and we read them over and over and over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-books-a-day#post-2639966 Thu, 20 Oct 2016 20:14:36 +0000 catlady 2639966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anywhere between 5 and 20, I'd say. She's 3 and loves books. We used to read even more when the books were all short board books but now that she likes longer ones, we have to limit it a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-books-a-day#post-2639965 Thu, 20 Oct 2016 20:13:34 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2639965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a lot more when they were babies because the books were shorter. now the books are much longer! sometimes just 1 if it's a long book up to 5 if they're shorter. on average 3 at bedtime, but we squeeze in a lot of reading during the day at mealtimes, on the kindle, and just on their own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-books-a-day#post-2639923 Thu, 20 Oct 2016 19:16:22 +0000 lilyofthewest 2639923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anywhere from as few as three to as many as 20 a day. Baby loves books (17mos). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-books-a-day#post-2639140 Thu, 20 Oct 2016 18:15:00 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2639140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When DD1 was between 1 and 2 we read the same books a trillion times a day. But now that she's older we're playing outside more or out doing more activities, we read a lot less and DD2 doesn't have the same opportunity to ask for quite as many books. Id say we average about 6 books per day, per kid. </p>
