In a Washington Post article, author Amy Joyce explains that a new study by Scholastic (its just-released Kids and Family Reading Report) asserts that while reading from "Day One" is vitally important, "it shouldn't end when kids begin to read on their own." Joyce quotes Liza Barker from Scholastic:
"'As they become independent readers, we tend to let them go, but even kids in older demographics love nothing more than that time with their parents…We're blown away that kids time and again said the most special time they recall spending with a parent is reading together.'"
