I want to teach my two-year old daughter to read.  Is she too young?

Great question, actually.  Kids will usually start learning to read at around age three or four, but it does vary for each child.  Often kids are reading simple words by age three, but they don’t begin reading on their own until around age four or five.  So depending on your daughter’s age, she might already have some basic reading skills, or she might need a little more time before she’s ready to learn.  I’d say the best approach is to start by reading short books and talking about the pictures together, and seeing how she reacts.  Also, be sure to involve lots of visual cues in your reading sessions, in order to increase her retention.  When she does start to read a few words, you should be extremely supportive and encouraging.  Reading is an exciting new skill, and it’s great to see kids learning to read and develop that ability as early as possible.
