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 😅

For a 6 year old, 10-20 mins a day is great.

Make sure to explore different books at the library with them and let them pick to keep them excited about reading.

If you let them have screen time then watching shows like the reading rainbow can be helpful.

There are also some video and board games that are kid friendly that might encourage them to read that you might want to explore as well.

I've been looking for board games if you have suggestions. Video games I'm trying Zelda and Pokemon
