I'm a new parent. What are the best ways to help my child learn to read?
assistant
1. Start by making sure your child has access to books at an early age.
2. Encourage them to talk about what they're reading and ask questions.
3. Use flashcards or other visual cues to help them remember words.
4. Read aloud with them as much as possible, emphasizing the different sounds of each word.
5. Have conversations with your child about the stories they're reading.
6. Make connections between what's happening in the story and their own lives.
