The ability to read well is a prerequisite to success in most fields today. Although learning to read is a complicated process that requires mastery of many skills, most children seem to learn with little effort. Other bright children experience great difficulty learning to read, and may suffer embarrassment and shame because of their inability to learn to read quickly and well.

Parental Involvement Crucial

Parents can play a major role in teaching their children to read. The schools need help from parents for two reasons. First, learning to read is a lifelong process – not a task that begins when a child enters school and ends when he has completed third grade or any other grade. Reading begins in infancy, when children listen to their parents' voices, learn to "read" their parents' facial expressions, when parents talk and sing and play with their children. It continues throughout life as people learn to read for a variety of purposes.
