They may feel that they don't need to read to children until they can understand the words, "but we should read as soon as babies are born." "We hear speech,nuism, we hear noise,ustri, we hear patterns -- we are learning."

"They tell the story, you write it down, and you've got a book," she said. "It can be as long or as short as you want. You can add illustrations or photos."Promoting literacyJudy Cheatham of Reading Is Fundamental offered ideas on what adults can do to encourage children's love of reading.* Go to the library and check out books. Let children choose what they want to read.* Don't necessarily think of bedtime as story-time.

What color is the sign? Can you name the letters? What letter goes "ssss"?* Support your child's learning with simple lessons at home.
