My wife read and recorded the whole Harry Potter series for our eldest, now the second gets to either hear Mom read live, or listen to a recorded chapter everynight before bed.

I've heard you should always read to your kids regardless of their age. They'll only ever read at their level, so even reading a poem or newspaper article or scientific journal to them when they're older increases their reading level.




wouldn't it be better to spend time with them and actually read it to them, rather than sending them to bed with a device to playback a pre-recording?

I assume mom reads live frequently, but if she can't for whatever reason the kid can still get his/her chapter at bedtime.


So we play it communally on a big Bluetooth speaker.
