How often and how long to read to kids?

I have three kids, 9, 7 and 4, and I read to all of them. I usually read one story to the older two and a different one to the 4 year old. The younger one sometimes listens to some of what I'm reading to the older two, but she doesn't have the same attention span, so she never stays for the whole story.

Last night, for instance, I was reading the Tale of Nimble Deer by Arthur Scott Bailey and my 4 year old stuck around for about a chapter before she got bored.

I am reading Dr. Do little to all three of my boys, 10, 8 and 3. The older two listen, and usually have their hands moving (they are boys after all) the youngest plays cars, or stuffed animals when he loses his attention, but it is interesting how much he actually gets. When we get to a good part, or he hears my voice rise in excitement he will very quickly come over and be very attentive and start asking questions, or looking for pictures. I don't think we give our little ones enough credit.
