    full of wonderful books? Do they see you reading which is, by the way, a great
    stress reliever? What is the art on the walls, what movies do you watch, and
    what music flows through your house? Are you respectful of each other? Do love
    and respect dominate your household? The culture in your home is of paramount
    importance to your child’s development and their attitude to learning.
    Understanding the written word will help them escape the popular culture (of
    TV, movies, high tech diversions, and popular music) so that they become more
    thoughtful and insightful as they discover their own true God given talents.  Then
    their authentic, free, and successful lives will emerge. Learning to read early
    can change their entire lives. I truly believe this, and I sincerely want the
    children in your home to learn to read. Let them learn to read now so that they
    can read to learn later.

THEIR VERY EARLY LEARNING YEARS
    Children are naturally curious and are
    receptive, and will easily take to early reading, especially and very
    importantly if there is an element of fun in the process. They will love the
    attention that they will receive from you, and you will love this new
    connection with your child that this learning opportunity creates. This
    visionary program will become the new communication between you two.  There is
    a wonderful window between the ages of 3 and 5 yrs. old when you can have their
    full attention before they are more physically active and want to run outside
    to play. This delightful little book addresses this time.

FROM BIRTH TO 3
    Firstly, all parents and caregivers must
    realize that a child needs to hear many words lovingly directed at him or her
    from birth on, even though at first he will not understand them. Speaking to a
    baby and happily acknowledging his existence in a very warm, gentle, and loving
    way needs to be established from the very beginning. This is the foundation for
    future reading. How? They need to hear happy and loving positive conversation
    directed to them so that they hear many words that will become familiar to
    them. Sadly, many small children are ignored, tolerated or simply left alone.
    We cannot do that. Show your child the natural world as you would imagine
    indigenous people would show the living world to their offspring. Before 1 year
    old, show her, touch it, name it, let her point to it as you name and admire
    the trees, bushes, bugs, flowers, the sky, airplanes, birds, ants, dogs etc. 
    Be excited and involved in the moment. No, you don’t have to do this every
    moment. But show her your own enthusiasm as you rediscover life through her
    eyes. Having her point seems to focus her attention.” Do you see that bird?
    What is he doing? Is he flying high in the blue sky, or sitting in the tree?
    Where is his nest? It is probably in the tree over there. I wonder where his
    children are. If you can manage to have a bird feeder with bird seed from the
    supermarket within easy view, this is a fabulous thing for a very young child
    to watch. This idea brings great excitement. What else can you both focus on as
    you encourage emotional and verbal interaction? “Look at the beautiful
    flowers.” Go from house to house as you walk along or push them in a stroller,
    and point these out. Don't bring your babe into an outdoor environment without
    commenting on what is going on in it. Verbalize what you see. “Where's the dog?
    Do you hear it barking? What color is he? Is he white, brown, or black? Look at
    the children over there. What are they doing? Let us go to the park. Do you want
    to go on the swings, the monkey bars or the slide? Look at the airplane high up
    in the sky. I wonder where they are going” Do you see that speech directed to
    them is the basis of reading? A child slowly becomes comfortable with language
    and familiar with many words through much loving repetition, and puts together
    these outdoor experiences (birds, flowers, dogs, airplanes
