Here's a great article from a mom about how her two children are learning to read: differently. She emphasizes how important reading aloud is, but also how important it is to support a child's interests and make reading FUN! Here's an amazing fact from the article you can share with new parents: "Experts tell us that by the time children enter kindergarten, they will need to have 1,000 hours of literacy learning experience behind them if they are to read on grade level in early elementary school. This sounds daunting but when you break it down across the first five years, it can be accomplished with just 15 minutes a day."
