PSA: If you have a 3-5 year-old child who isn't yet reading independently, you don't need any special training to teach them to read English. Just 15 mins per day a few days per week, and a single book: Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons https://www.amazon.com/dp/0671631985/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/0671631985/ The only requirements are that you can read, and can spare 15 mins per day. I guess that applies to ~100% of HN readers. You could rely on your kid's school to teach them to read, but learning to read with 1:1 direct instruction is just so efficient. I've posted about this book on HN before (and I myself first read about it here). Here's an excerpt from an email an HN user sent me recently: "Last year, I bought the book for my 4 year old and we slowly worked through it. Now he can read about as well as his 8 year old friends."
