I started out reading to DS during the bedtime routine but found it was winding him up rather then helping him settle, so now we read as part of our morning routine. When he first wakes up (he is generally in bed with us as we co-sleep at least half of the night) he points to the bookshelf above the bed for his books (I keep the library books there so they are separate from his and I can make sure they don't get hurt) and we look at them together and I read whichever ones he hands me. Then once daddy is awake as well we say our morning prayers and read the Bible together - I have a childrens Bible that is set up so you read the whole Bible in one year.
During the day he'll look at his own books whenever he wants to and will often bring a book or two to me to read to him. We have a bookshelf in the lounge room and his board books are on the bottom shelf and the paper books are out of reach for now.
