10 very good reasons why every parent needs to teach early reading skills to their children.
- It’s the easiest and best way to boost a child’s self-confidence and self esteem and raise a savvy, successful and discerning child? It is our job after all.
- Reading is the primary building block for all future learning the earlier he starts the better for his future
- His success or failure in life is directly based on this simple fact – but you knew that didn’t you?
- An early ready is a confident and assured student that leads to being a highly successful adult
- Even all the latest electronic gizmos in the house can’t teach your child to read. Why? Because the missing ingredient is you – the parent equation.
- Parent child interaction tends to diminish as the child begins to grow from infant to toddler to the Mr. Know It All four year old this is when you need to be more involved
- You are the greatest influence in your child’s life. You determine how he turns out in life.
- You are in a unique position to take advantage of all the language interaction you have with your children in the earliest years of life
- As long as the parent equation is removed from any kind of early learning it will always be an uphill task and the learning will be slow
- Billions of synapses are forming in his brain from birth to age five and the window for optimal learning narrows as he grows older. Most parents are unaware of this and fail to take advantage of this phenomena
Teach Him To Read Early
So believe it or not the reasons why parents need to be involved in their child’s earliest education are easier than you thought. The reasons are important and

pretty simple. Teach him to read as early as possible because age five is forever and the optimal opportunity for early reading and learning will be gone forever.
Parents Need Help
There is no doubt parents desperately need help and direction. They need to be shown how with just five minutes 3 or 4 times a day they can actually have their child be reading before first grade, even sooner.
And yet many parents are oblivious to this crucial truth. Though to be perfectly fair, most parents do, instinctively, know it to be true. But often they are under so much pressure working two or three jobs that they have very little time for much else. It is much easier to just let the TV be the baby sitter or hand them expensive talking gadget and let them get on with it.
How I Did It You Can Too
I should know I taught all my four kids to be proficient readers by age five and I was an immigrant mother. Today all my four kids are highly successful professionals amongst the top one percent of earners. You are no different from me. If I can do it so can you.

I know that, not just reading, playing games, storytelling or singing but all other exchanges that take place during the course of everyday life, are extremely important but just when he needs more interaction not less he is in full pull of the TV orbit and in the firm grip of the electronic gizmos.
Too Many Parents Fall For The Electronic Hype
He is the prime target of the slick Madison Avenue genius machines who make billions of dollar on the ferocious appetite – fueled no less by Madison Avenue them self – of unsuspecting parents and their kids.
From toys, to shoes; from food to clothing, every aspect of their lives is fare game. Companies’ sole purpose seems to be to indoctrinate and manipulate America’s kids to pestering parents into buying the latest gizmo, the latest fashion, the latest electronic wizardry. Parents fall for it believing all the hype and think their children will learn to read or spell or count all by them self.
Most parents go along with it despite knowing better, perhaps to combat the vague sense of guilt that washes over them for working long hours at two or three jobs trying to provide for their families.
Sadly, no amount of electronic wizardly will teach a child much of anything except perhaps to be a glutinous consumer.
So the vicious cycle continues till it threatens to take over every nook and cranny of the house. The cycle is never ending. The old stuff is thrown out to make room for the latest and newest Madison offerings.
Missing The Mark
Big mistake! The biggest teachable moment is completely missed. There is a lesson in there somewhere, for parents and grandparents to teach a few easy lessons to their voracious little consumers.
If they stop and think a while they can use such moments to make their children smarter and more responsible consumers. They could teach the value of money; the wisdom of saving; the benefit of conserving and the biggest lesson of all, being savvy and informed consumers, to say nothing of teaching them to read early all by them self.
This is where a child is either at an advantage or disadvantage depending on the level of parental involvement. So every parent and grandparents needs to get involved and give their little geniuses a head start by taking the reins and giving the gift of early reading skills.
