Reading Click a topic. Each child develops at his or her own pace.
Some children learn to read very quickly, while others take longer.
Most experts do agree that the best way to promote children's success in reading is to spend some time each day reading aloud to or with them. Parents should also talk with their children about the books they read together. Early positive experiences with reading make it much more likely that children will continue to read and to become successful independent readers. Children who have their first exposure to reading in elementary school may not be as successful at reading as children who have been exposed to books at an earlier age. These struggling readers may have difficulty in class and may act out or become disruptive due to frustration.
