Have the adult read with the toddler. The toddlers build imagination, and it counts toward the 'read with an adult' - my kids always have that finished when they age up.
Have toddler and parent sit together in chairs or a sofa. Put two books in the adult's inventory before you start. Select the book from the inventory and you should have the option to 'read to toddler'. Read both books to the toddler. Do this again later. (The toddler will probably get 'tired of books' if you try to read her four books at once.) That will get you your two hours easily.
Yes, as I mentioned in my original post, I've done that before, but that no longer appears to work for some reason. The toddler reading no longer carries over to the child life stage. Also, it still bugs me that it builds the "wrong" skill--to fit the Whiz Kid aspiration it should build thinking in toddlers, not imagination.
