Literacy at bedtime

One in ten parents struggles to understand the stories they’re reading to their kids at bedtime. Meanwhile, I just struggle to understand my kid.

One in 10 parents struggle to understand the bedtime stories they read to their children, a survey by adult learning organisation Learndirect has found. Almost a quarter (23%) skip passages they cannot read or invent words to get to the end of a sentence, the poll found. A third of parents also admit to difficulties in helping their children with their maths homework.

Despite the difficulties, the poll found that reading stories is enjoying a renaissance, with 73% of families preferring it to playing in the park or watching TV.

You mean 73% of families SAID they prefer it to watching TV….

    If the book is too difficult to read, the family can always put the book aside and watch Drew Carey on The Price Is Right.
