When Nightshade was just born of course they didn't know how to read. So Cass read to them instead. The problem arose when she couldn't be home because of school or work, so she ended up getting a library card and bringing home picture books. After that more serious books followed, since her home didn't have much interesting stuff to read, and that's how they both ended up diving into literature.
Even though Nightshade learned how to read already they still often ask Cass to read to them. Their top favorites are "Howl's moving castle" and of course "Winged Sentinel"
