The Born to Read program in Sarasota County was established to help parents nurture their baby’s love of reading and learning. The program both provides opportunities for parents to learn about the importance of reading to their babies from birth and introduces families to the public library. Parents are encouraged to read daily to their children, tell them stories, sing songs and play music, play finger-games, and play with puppets. Such activities provide the stimulation essential for healthy, active brain development; can improve children’s school readiness, literacy and language skills; and can establish a foundation for habits that lead to lifelong learning.

Reading the World With Your Kids
Rating: 20
Your child does not just learn how to read from a book. There is much more to reading. Here is a website that expresses that a child learns to read a recipe or signs around the community. There is a world out there where the child will read all the time.

You know that children learn more in their first three years of life than at any other time. Now combine that fact with the emerging knowledge of language development in the infant and something clicks. Those synapses are forming. Do I have the necessary tools in phonics for them to form in such a way as to produce early reading? http://www.preksmarties.com/reading/index.htm
Reading to Infants

It’s never too early to introduce language to a child. From the day they’re born, it will only enrich language development. A baby may not understand what you’re reading, but the whole idea is about the relationship that’s established. It’s the cuddling time and hearing the parent’s voice – hearing the rhythm and rhyme of the voice, the touch and feel and smell of the book, the exploration of what a book is and the introduction of language http://www.aplaceofourown.org/question_detail.php?id=143

Reading Through Book Events
Rating: 18
I love hearing about the creative ways that schools celebrate books with children. There’s been a lot lately on the net, because of World Book Day in the UK, and Read Across America in the US–from children dressing up as their favorite book character (and at some schools, even the teachers did–now THAT would be fun to see!), to students watching their principal and vice-principal eat green eggs and ham, to a reading tent in the playground, to designing a book cover, to students designing their own bookmarks. One library–Clare County Library–even has a Get Caught Reading Photography Competition for children.

How can I Encourage My Young Child To Read?
Rating: 19
As a parent of a young child, you are probably more concerned about your child's progress in reading than in any other subject taught in school. To achieve in math, science, English, history, geography, or any other subject, your child must have reading skills that are developed to the point that most of them are automatic. He can't be struggling to recognize words in a school textbook when he is trying to read quickly to grasp the meaning of the text. In other words, children must learn to read before they can read to learn.

Learning to read is an intellectual milestone. Parents fret over it, teachers focus on it and children learn to see it as a mark of competence. As with other aspects of a child's development, language development and reading skills emerge step by step through time with young children. http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/yf/famsci/fs672w.htm
