Both of my kids, by age 5, were proficient readers. Up until that time, they were both in public schools. They tought them a bit of phonics, but they figured the rest out themselves. They were both already internet geeks by that age and learned to read at a furious rate. Seriously, by age 5, they had something like an 8th grade reading level.

Basically, they both WANTED to read, they wanted to learn the things online that interested them. I was surprised, they hardly went through that "See Dick run" phase, it was fast.

Start reading as soon is the child can sit-up....start with picture books..

then move up ...your child will be reading by three years or less...plus will develop a better memory...

do it at night before bed time....

my wife was a first second teacher worked every time for as...even worked on a foster child we only had her six months...started with her when she was eighteen months old..

They should tell this to every mother when she leaves the hospital
