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.
