How do you prepare your child to read and write at an early age?

“Few children learn to read books by themselves. Someone has to lure them into the wonderful world of the written word; someone has to show them the way.” —Orville Prescott

The very first thing you can do is introduce him to the concept of reading. Read to him, look at picture books with her, let them play with books, touch them, bite them, sit on them, build with them and generally get to know that a book is a companion in many ways. They will see you reading books, reading to others, reading to them. They will want the amusement that is accessible through the pages of a book to be theirs. In the same way you can show that reading is done to get information through computers and kindles, newspapers and magazines, signs and posters, cereal boxes and toy ads. A child will figure out, if shown once or twice, that the squiggles on the page have something to do with the words you say when you read. There will come a moment when he connects a certain meaning with a word, such as his name. Busy, busy, allatime. He will be very motivated to read because he sees it has rewards. — from Prepare Your Child To Read and Write by Barbara McNally
