Marie Coyle My paternal grandmother lived with us much of the time until I was 7. She read to my sister and I every night, and always made sure we had books. We both learned to read at a very young age because of her. I cherish my memories of her reading to us.

rsa101 I don't remember ever interacting with my parents in that way, but I do remember my father recording our conversation when I was a toddler on a cassette tape. It seemed as though I was responding to my father's story as he was narrating it. I could have saved...

Arunima Singh My grandparents and mother would tell us stories orally but no reading to. I have vivid memories of those stories and I have told them to my daughters. That was one fixed bedtime ritual, some one elder to us will tell us the stories.
