DH reads his every morning before work, around 6:45 am, and there is usually at least one or two children up helping him, sitting on his lap and marking where he left off. But that’s as far as it gets in our house. My oldest is ADHD and trying to add something else into her schedule is just not something I'm ready to do yet. We still struggle just making to school in the morning or to bed at night at a reasonable hour and DH is not around to help me at all in the mornings, except for Tue one of his days off, and I'm lucky it he makes it home in time for prayers at night. I know it needs to be put on my to-do list but it's just not a priority right now.

I have heard of some families doing it during meal time. Since they were all sitting at the table together anyway someone just had to read instead of chew :) I guess I could to that too but DH would still only be there once or twice a week.

Oh well,
Mary

But we used to be, when the kids were much younger (when the eldest was about 12 and younger). We did it in the mornings, before Glenn left for work. We had to drag them out of bed, get them to the table and we would each read a verse. There was no discussing of anything, as they were just too tired to do anything but read it and get ready for school.

Since then, Glenn and I read at night - sometimes I read the scriptures and if not, it is a church book. We leave the magazines in the bathroom, use the Friend for FHE ideas.

We have to get working on getting our evenings more organzied to allow for family reading, but with adult children, teenagers and then the younger ones, I am not sure if it is a possibility anymore.
