I love reading myself so to teach my child to read is a fun and interesting process.  Its amazing how the mind works.
Reading is probably the most important skill to have in order to be successful. Great that you are passing the knowledge on.
I totally agree. It was funny that one book for a child told me at the beginning that reading is a way for them to acquire a language, communicate, and share information. I agree but I thought it was odd at the beginning of a child's book.
