I’ve just read an email from our headteacher which (among other things) goes on about the importance of older children still ‘reading with parents’. But it doesn’t explain why, and I can’t see what they would gain as opposed to the risk of putting them off reading. If they’re happy reading on their own would you just let them get on with it? I guess we all look back to our own childhoods and I was a bookworm who certainly never read aloud to my parents once I could read.
