Help your child be ready to read and learn.

Talk to your child a lot, this will help them learn to speak and understand meanings of words. As you play with your child, point and describe some objects. If your child has a large vocabulary it will give them a great start once he/she starts school. As I mention before read to your child daily, hearing words over and over again helps them become familiar with them. Make it fun when reading to them, for example my husband changes his voice for the different characters of the book or he can just to be silly but my girls love it. Remember, BE INTERESTED AND INTERESTING. :)
