Studies claim that the door to a child's learning abilities should be opened within the first three years of life. Children, even infants, are always learning by listening and observing the people and objects around them.
Children have a natural curiosity and try to mimic or repeat things that they hear.
If you want your child to be an avid learner, you, as the parent, need to be an avid teacher from early on. The first thing you can do is talk to your child and read to them. Children learn to speak by listening and trying to imitate the sounds. The more often you talk you child or read to your child, the more opportunities they will have to learn and repeat the words. Several studies have shown that the best way to teach your child to read at an early age is for you to begin reading to them at an early age, from infancy.
