Before a
child learns to read, he or she must first learn the spoken language, and this
is one of the first instances where family members such as dad, mom, older
siblings, and grandparents play an important role in "teaching" the
child the spoken English language. Whether young children realize it or not,
they gain very early exposure to the alphabet when parents sing the alphabet
song to them. They begin to develop language skills by being read to and spoken
to. One of the keys to teaching children reading early on is by exposing them
to alphabet letters, books, and reading to them often.
