Do you remember being read to as a child?

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.

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 it digitally back then, but we didn't have that technology, but it was still a great sound. Over time, the tape became deteriorated and eventually disappeared.

Yes, I do my dad liked to read to us, and my grandad when we went to visit them would as well.

I remember standing in front of mom while she read to my younger brother and I whatever she was reading for herself... Sometimes I thought she was skipping stuff on the pages so I learned to read upside down so I could make sure she wasn't leaving stuff out... When I started school, I'd turn books upside down to read them and the teacher would come around the room and turn the books ride-side up... As soon as she walked away, I'd turn the book upside down again and go on reading.

It such a shame you were never read to. The bond it forms is great and it nurtures a love of books and reading, and improves vocabulary.

Before sleeping, my mother would sometimes read me a story, though not every night.

I would only be told stories but nothing read out

I had lots of little golden books that my parents read to me. I read books to my children a lot.

Yes. The lady I was named after was a school teacher. I learned to read before I went to first grade.

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.
