Being an Early Reader Is a Huge Advantage for a Child—Here’s How to Make It Happen


Early readers excel in school and in life. Reading aloud to your child is the surest way to make them an early reader. Young children have a strong capacity for what's called intrinsic learning. Their brains make connections--like that between spoken words and print--more easily than they ever will again.

But if you’re short on time to read to them and short on money for a tutor, what do you do?


If they reach first or second grade and still can’t read, they could really miss out. Early reading kickstarts a child’s brain, increases I.Q. and grades, including in math and science.
