How often do you read to your child? What age did you start reading to them?

I've been trying to read to him since birth, even while pg--but he's still not into it. He likes flipping the pages which drives me crazy! I usually make up stories and he gets bored I try to read at least every 2nd day to him.

I don't read to them very often. Neither of them really likes to be read to. They prefer to sit down and flip through at their own pace. I used to try holding them and reading to them, but they'd either turn pages faster than I could read or take the book and walk away. As long as they show interest though I think it's alright. If they had no interest at all in reading then I'd start to worry.

DD I read to her since she was born, she would just flip pages but I liked the time we spent flipping pages. After she discovered the ABC book she wanted us to read it all the time. DS I read to him whenever I could I went to beck to work when he turned 3 months, he would just flip pages never really liked for us to read them. He did after he was about 4 he like one about cookie monster and he still wants us to read to him now, but he has started read and he likes to read to us better.

My DD loved her alphabet book. She wouldn't let us read it to her, she ate it. We had to get cloth books for her for awhile.

I started reading to him pretty much from the time he was born. We usually read to him every night before bed.
