I am a new father. I am wondering what I should do to help my son learn to read?

1. Start by making sure you have the right tools and materials for your child to use when learning how to read.
2. Encourage your child to practice reading aloud as often as possible, even if they make mistakes.
3. Read with them regularly, both fiction and non-fiction books that are appropriate for their age and interest level.
4. Help them understand how letters and sounds work together to form words.
5. Praise them whenever they show an effort or progress in reading.
