I feel so guilty that I haven't been as much of a book-pusher with the younger kids as I was with the oldest. Reading from the earliest possible age is great, I think (and I'm sure there are studies about this -- I've read of them, but damned if I'm going to go looking for them...), and it's also important for kids to see their parents reading too. (Of course, that makes them want to do it.)

I thought Ty was asking about slightly older kids, and when they can begin to sit through books that don't have pictures. Sorry, Ty, if that wasn't the question (that was the question I answered, though -- if anyone is interested in THAT particular subject...).

I always give the best advice on this board, yet have never had anyone respond. Are you jealous folks?
