Teaching children the actual skill of how to read is as important as instilling in them a love of reading. The ability to read will affect a child’s entire life. While children typically learn to read around age 5 or 6, it takes many years to master reading as a skill.
Teaching our children how to read is just as important as teaching them how to love reading. The ability to read has lasting effects not only on a child’s educational life, but it also has lasting effects on enriching other aspects of their life.
And higher level reading comprehension requires eight to 16 years of formal reading education. The human brain is not naturally wired to read, as is the case with speech. While acquiring reading skills can sometimes be challenging, it is well worth the effort put in by both child and teacher.
