Children begin to learn about language very early on,
starting from the very first sounds they hear. They
respond to family talking and singing, and quickly
begin to understand speech although they still
cannot talk yet. Their earliest experience with
written language usually comes when the parent or
caregiver begins to read stories to them. A healthy
growing environment with ample talking, singing,
reading, and exposure to books will help to set the
stage for children to become successful readers.
Teaching your child to read early on will help them
achieve a richer vocabulary, and be able to speak
more clearly and more coherently.
Children should be seen and heard. They should
listen and speak often, and you should engage them
in conversations to encourage them to speak. By the
time a child is one year old, they have already
learned a lot about spoken language simply through
talking and listening.
Why is early reading so important?
In today's schools, many children struggle with
reading. Not because they lack the intelligence, nor
because they have some reading disability. Rather, it
is likely due to poor and inadequate reading
instructions. Reading problems for children in
