Good advice!
I did only one thing in leading my son into the world of books: make the experience fun and enjoyable for BOTH of us.
1. Find books that interest me.
2. Let him sit on my lap and read to him.
I did not ask him to read to me because I did not expect him to read by himself before going to school. I did not introduce phoenics as well. He picked up the skill right away once entering kindergarten. So I am really glad that I did not have to make him read to me. I don't think it would be fun.
But I have to confess that I spent A LOT of time reading to him. I guess that make up for not " teaching" him to read.
