- So, what do you do if you have a child who WANTS to learn to read? I
- am sure that Katherine would NOT be happy if I wait until she is seven
- before allowing her to read - matter of fact, I'm sure she would learn
- somehow herself before then, just as she has learned the alphabet with
- little help.
-
- I am curious as to what your 'beautiful' reading material is --
- suggestions for a three year old with an active imagination? BTW, she
- does love kids books (Dr. Seuss, and an assortment of those kinds of
- things), and likes me to read A.A. Milne to her, although she seems to
- always ask me to read 2 chapters, and really only has the patience for
- 1...
