| Learn to Read - Write and Talk, Too |
| While reading with your child is most
important, there are other activities that help to get children ready
to read. With a solid foundation, your child will not only read, but
will read with enthusiasm.
Learning to read is part of learning language. It's like a little leaguer learning to hit a baseball. The young hitter must learn to watch the ball when it is pitched, to step into it, and to swing the bat to make the hit. It's a single event made up of three acts. Baseball players learn to do all three at once. |

The same is true of learning language. When we use language, we speak words out loud, we read words on paper, and we write. This section has activities that encourage your child to:
- speak
- read
- write
- listen
