Most parents of small children know the benefits of reading to kids, but older kids can also benefit from the activity.
In fact, 83 percent of kids ages 6 to 17 say they love being read aloud to, according to Scholastic’s \"Kids & Family Reading Report: 5th edition.\"
The report found that parents often stop reading to their kids as they get older and can read independently, yet 40 percent of kids ages 6 to 11, said they wish their parents kept reading aloud to them, mainly because of the special time together. Ninety-one percent of kids said they prefer books \"I picked out myself\" and 70 percent like books \"that make me laugh.\"
