My DS9 stopped reading with us for a little while and stopped his bed time routine. He wanted to read faster than I was reading. Then we decided together we needed to get back to it. Sometimes we read Calvin and Hobbs which is fun to share. It's a great way of making sure you spend enough one on one together. It's also a great time for them to talk to you about their day or any troubles. I plan on doing this until my kids leave for college if they will go along with it.

At age 9 he still like me to read some picture books. He thinks all books should have picture. I love that. just got an idea - he should do his own illustrations for books that don't have enough.
