Reading to your child is a great way to for your child to fall in love with books and literature, work on reading comprehension when you ask them questions as you read, and help them learn patterns that will help them become better readers when they are ready.
When their kids are reluctant to read or a bit behind their peers many parents freak out but the truth is every child is different and will become ready for reading at a different point.

Remember that every child learns at their own pace and the best thing you can do is make reading fun so they want to do it rather than making it a fight in your home that can lead to anxiety around reading.
