My child is 6. I have them do 10-20 min of guided reading daily, meaning I sit with them and help where needed. They read mostly on their own though. I started because school was basically not teaching anything and giving half assed explanations why not.
How much do you do? Wondering if I’m an asshole parent 😅

I have a ton of childrens books and he chooses what he wants to read. Today we dropped a boring book about animals for a starwars comic.
I know it’s supposed to be fun, but reading is also a learned skill, so there should be a balance I think. Reading isn’t easy at first.
That’s awesome! I dunno, I think you’re doing it just right :)
