Does anyone else remember when your teacher would read to the class for a while at the end of the day? I remember it being done in by all my class teachers, especially when my family moved towns when I was 7.
Does anyone know from their kids if it's still done in their school or did it die out? |

"No they still do it in the lower years, my wife was a primary school teacher before she had to take medical retirement"
Oh good 
Yeah, I think my school stopped it when people reached Year 6. |

My daugters still have story time i think its a bit more interactive these days which i think is a good thing.
I read to them every night before bed and its always one more lol
I think its also important to limit the time they spend on electronic devices such as tablets etc - i feel its important for them to play with the physical as well as some virtual |

"Do people still read a bedtime story to their young children?
"
Yep I do he is 2.5 and his favourite story is the gingerbread boy, so far I have read it every night for 4 weeks I tried him on another story but he wasn't happy untill I read the gingerbread boy  .
I now know it off by heart and hate the story with a passion |

Every Wednesday afternoon, my junior school teacher used to tell us the story of The Count of Monte Christo from memory. It was great! Then when I got home, my gran, who always visited on Wednesdays, would bring me a cream egg. How I loved Wednesdays!! |

When my son was little, he went through a stage of loving anything to do with trains and his favourite book was an educational one about trains and steam engines. God, that was mind numbingly boring having to read bits of that to him every bloody night  |

Oh he is going through the train stage at the moment, he has to go to bed with Thomas the tank engine, percy, Toby and a rather large green steam engine toy. I'm surprised their is any room left in bed for him  |
