According to the Kids & Family Reading Report™: 5th Edition, conducted by Scholastic and YouGov, children ages 6 to 17 overwhelmingly say that they love(d) being read aloud to. And while the survey also found that most parents stop reading aloud to their children as they get older and can read independently, 40% of children ages 6–11 say they wish their parents would continue to read aloud to them because “it is a special time with their parents.”
