So you're disagreeing with me? Because I'm in no way saying that reading to your kids is a bad thing--in fact, I believe it's the opposite. I knew how to read a little before entering school, and it was because my dad read to me every night. My parents didn't try to get me to read before I was sent to school, though, it was just something I picked up on. So what I'm saying is that reading to your kids is beneficial, but trying to actually teach them to read may not always be the best idea, because most parents are not certified teachers and have no idea how to go about actually teaching a person to read. The meanings of words get lost on a lot of kids when the words are taken out of context--and this is what a lot of parents do. They think that just because their kids can pronounce words properly and spell them correctly, that automatically means their kids are literate.
