We started reading to our children (twins)from the very beginning. We also had them signed up for The Dolly Parton Imagination Library. They received a book every month to read until they turned 5. At the beginning of PK4 we began a 1,000 Books before Kindergarten challenge through our local library. And now this year they have the Millionaire challenge (read 1 million words before the end of the year. We finished that up last month.
All that being said our “reader” child is reading at a 1st grade level mid year and the “artist” is at 1st grade beginning of the year.
All of the credit goes to their mom who is more intelligent and academically driven than I am.
