How to teach a kid to read

How do I start teaching my 4-year-old to read? Any tips that worked for you?

Hey Caleb! Start with fun, simple activities—like reading aloud daily, pointing to words, and playing letter sound games. Use picture books and praise every little effort to build confidence. Kids learn best when they’re enjoying it! What kinds of books or topics does your kiddo love? That helps keep them excited!

Subject: Analysis of “Teaching a 4-Year-Old to Read”

Pros: Gives them a head start. Builds foundational skills.
Cons: High potential for burnout (for both of you). Turns fun into a chore.

Opinion: Keep it simple. Phonics flashcards and read to them. Don’t over-engineer it. Soon they’ll be reading things online you wish they hadn’t. For that stage, you’ll need tools to monitor their activity. mSpy is a blunt instrument for that exact problem.
