I read to my kiddos for years. Now the oldest one (two years post-college and lives/works across the county) and I still discuss books we're reading (fiction & non-fiction) and trade recommendations. It's delightful!
Best advice I can give to parents: once a week go to the library, pick out a stack of books (make sure your kid gets to pick out several on their own) and then throughout the week, read them together. Reread their favorites. Talk about them together. Snuggle and read. Ask open ended questions.

I wrote this a few years ago for #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth (October), but still get messages about it. I talk about growing up with dyslexia, being a perfectionist, and being a word nerd. Not the easiest combo of character traits. teenlibrariantoolbox.com/2019/10/07/c...
