I learned the sounds (and names) of the letters when I started school at age 5. There were nearly 50 kids in the class. The main method used to teach reading was 'chalk-and-talk' with phonic methods as far as possible. There was none of that nonsense about 'reading readiness' or child-centred education. What's more there were practically no literacy problems, either!
The traditional route to teaching kids to speak and read is to use phonics. This involves breaking words down into their component sounds and teaching those sounds individually. This method is popularized by the "Hooked on Phonics" teaching method, but is starting to fall into disfavor.

Start out in the first chapter of Genesis, read the creation, then start in Matthew and go from there. All of the Bible is important and you will be suprised how much a child will learn of it. God Bless!
it depends on the child. if the parent feels they can trust the child, i feel the parents should not have to read their childrens texts.
When considering the type of books a child should read, you should consider books written for the child's age group, as well as keeping the child's reading and learning levels in mind.
As the saying goes, 'From 3-7 a child is learning to read, and from 7+ he is reading to learn.'
Phonemic awareness should be developed before children start to learn to read. Developing phonemic awareness helps children understand how sounds work in words, which is essential for learning to read and spell. Phonemic awareness activities can start as early as preschool and continue to be important throughout a child's reading development.
You should start reading to your child from birth. Children love the quality time spent while reading stories. Research shows that children who are read to at an early age will learn to read much sooner.
Parents who read have children who read. The best way to start teaching your child to read is for you to read to them!A child will show indications of when he wants to read. An intense interest in books and questions of "What is this word?" are fairly good indications that this child is ready to begin to read.A child who does not find it unusual to have books in the house is more apt to want to learn. Start with simple alphabet books, "A is for apple" types, and start phonics in the process. Keep it very short, no more than ten minutes or so, and graduate to his favorite bedtime stories.As far as age, it is not determinate. A child can be ready as early 18 months or as late as six years. You are the determining factor about when it is practical. Watch your child and make it as natural as possible, never making it a chore or a punishment.On a personal note, my child actually taught himself to read at 18 months using televison phonics...I had nothing to do with it. Other than teaching him his letters, there was no pressure to learn...and he did learn as he wished. At the age of 23, he has not lost his love of reading.
NO you idiots. Have you read the books cause you should. .
As young as possible
Start CPR on a child when no breathing and no pulse is confirmed.
You should read to htem to show them that they are loved and also to make sure that develop reading fast.
The correct age for children to start writing should be just about the same time they're reading. Having a child learn to read while learning to write at the same time can help them better understand the concept of how words are constructed and how to sound them out to spell them.
