Adults sometimes falter when reading bedtime stories

Bedtime stories are proving a struggle for many British parents who are not confident readers, says a survey from the adult learning agency Learndirect. More than 10% of the 1,000 parents asked had struggled to understand some words in the stories they had read to their 5- to 10-year-old children. Parents said that they made up words they could not read or missed out difficult passages, the survey said. Even more parents—a third—struggled with their children's math homework.
