As an educator, I watch too many young people and their parents upset and frustrated about their child’s education. School dropouts are at crisis levels over many groups, children’s excitement about education is low, and 2/3rds of fourth graders are not reading up to grade level. This is not just about poor inner city schooling or immigration as low reading skills are affecting a broad range of children. Dire consequences of not reading well can result in low self esteem and a general lackadaisical attitude and boredom with school which can all be a catastrophe for the future of your child, and certainly for our society as a whole.
You want your child to be very familiar with the feeling of success and accomplishment as he or she approach the teenage years, and early reading ability, and all the success that this brings will make a foundational difference to your child’s life. It is actually life changing. They are more than good enough even now as very young children (from 3-5) to learn how to read, and it doesn’t take much of your time or attention. In fact, you will become happily closer to your child in the process.
And as an aside, making sure that your child fully understands this first educational hurdle in the ease of your own home will make your own life a whole lot easier down the road.
Let me show you how.
