My child is 6. I have them do 10-20 min of guided reading daily, meaning I sit with them and help where needed. They read mostly on their own though. I started because school was basically not teaching anything and giving half assed explanations why not.

How much do you do? Wondering if I'm an asshole parent 😅

I have my 10 year old read about 30 minutes a day, give or take depending on activities or whatever we’re doing after school.

I think you’re doing great! Reading is such an important foundation to learning anything, it really can’t hurt to encourage it and have a baseline expectation.
