What can I do to prepare my child to learn to read?

Most children are ready to learn to read between 3 and 5 years old. You can also:

• Sing to your baby
• Sing the alphabet song together
• Read to your child daily
• Enroll your child in local Kindermusik classes. Perfect harmony must be acquired early.
• Listen to:
  • Mozart. Studies indicate Mozart's music helps to develop a child's brain.
  • Nursery rhymes and children's songs
  • Your own rhymes and short, attention-getting, silly songs
