[quote=Anonymous]Story on NPR earlier this summer that the #1 thing you can do to help your child learn to read is read to them. Over time kids begin to recognize that all those squiggly shapes on the page have meaning and it can evolve from there. Occasionally bring the child's attention to the words and not just the pictures. My 2yo recognizes all her letters and so now if we're reading a book like Brown Bear Brown Bear with lots of repetition, I might ask her to point to the letter B. That's it, and move on from there. We have some books that she now knows by heart and "reads" each page. That's another step in pre-literacy. [/quote]
