Also, they're never too old. My daughter is fifteen now and I still call her over and I read paragraphs out of books I am currently working on. Usually these are snippets that really don't need much explaining and are either humorous or relate to an incident we've personally experienced. Some times the short passages get her interested in the book and she gets them and reads them on her own. That's how she got into the Hobbit and the Dresden Files series.
That's good to know because I dread the day when my daughter no longer wants me to read to her!
