At What Age Can You Start Teaching Your Child to Read?

Home » Parents » At What Age Can You Start Teaching Your Child to Read?

When they’re babies? At 2 years old, 3, 4, or 5 years old, or wait until they’re in school?
According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, if you delay your child’s reading skill development until he or she enters school, you are putting your child at risk.

Did you know that 67% of all Grade 4 students cannot read at a proficient level!
Of that 67%, 33% read at just the BASIC level, and 34% cannot even achieve reading abilities of the lowest basic level!

I would like to hear your comments and points of view.

All the best,
Steve
