Floating down to Camelot

Some of my happiest school memories are of the serial story being read at the end of the day, too. It's sad that a whole generation of children is growing up without that memory. The 4 and 5 year olds still get read to, but very few 8 and 9 year olds. Though there are some signs that it's beginning to turn around, and that more teachers in primary schools are finding the time to read aloud for sheer pleasure. I hope it continues this way!
