I'm a new parent and I'm wondering what are the best ways to help my child learn to read?

1. Start with books that have simple stories and short words.
2. Use flashcards or other visual tools to help your child associate letters with sounds.
3. Read aloud to your child, emphasizing the different sounds in each word.
4. Have conversations with your child about the story you're reading together.
5. Practice writing out words and phrases using letters and pictures.
6. Give rewards for completing tasks such as recognizing a letter or saying a word correctly.
