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 😅
No kids here, but growing up by the time I was 6, we would sit down as a family and read a chapter or so of The Hobbit, The (more than complete) Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy, or any number of other books, every evening for 30-45 minutes before bed. All children in the room that were capable of reading took a turn. This apparently helped our public speaking skills as well as our reading skills.
