As they say, a child’s performance in his first few months in his first grade in school is indicative of how his parents taught him at home. For sure, you don’t want to be judged as having not spent much attention in teaching your toddler some necessary skills such as writing his name, reading at least three-lettered words, and counting until twenty or so.

Showing him that you are always reading, will trigger his curiosity about books. You can start your reading sessions by reading aloud some rhymes and simple melodies. All children love to sing so you can read and sing children’s songs together. It may be better if the book has illustrations in it. Flashcards can help too. He will be able to recognize letters and their sounds if you help him follow what you are reading.
