http://www.ltgreenroom.org/episodes/77 The LT Green Room is a podcast for Renewal, Retooling and Conversations about Learning. It is co-hosted by Susan Manning and Dan Balzer and its show topics are often drawn from members of LearningTimes.org, a free online community of education and training professionals from across the globe. The LT Green Room gives listeners (and ourselves) an opportunity to reflect on what they're doing behind the scene that results in an effective learning experience.

My daughters are now 32 and 30, but when they were in elementary school, my wife and I would take turns reading to them. When they were in bed one of us would sit on the floor between their bedroom doors and read. Usually it was a chapter. I remember reading Lewis's Narnia Chronicles, Alcott's Little House series, My Antonia by Willa Cather, and there were others. I found out later the girls sometimes would sneak the book away to read ahead, but they enjoyed the evening time so much they wouldn't tell us they knew what was coming. My oldest daughter works with an audio book company, the youngest is in law school. I believe those reading sessions helped foster a real love of literature, and of both the written and spoken word.
