[quote=Anonymous]I can relate. My 2.5 year old climbed up on Santas lap that year and told him that she wanted Hooked on Phonics so she could learn to read (thank you infomercials). She used to cry because she couldn't read. It was a little ridiculous. But I told her that the best way for kid tolearn to read was to listen to books. So we read and we read and we read. And she did start deciding early. She was barely 4 when she could sound out a word and ask me what it meant. But reading is not something to formally teach a preschooler. Just read, and talk about words in daily life and they will pick it up just as soon as they would have if you crammed it down their throat. [/quote]
