One of the greatest honors of my role as a parent so far has been teaching each of my four children to read. They were all highly proficient by the time they were four or five. I used a book called, How to Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons. It’s a bit old school, but miraculous in its results, and is explicit in its instructions for parents to be effective.
Do not cede the responsibility of teaching your child to read to a teacher. It is an absolute certainty that they won’t do as good a job as you.
