Answer 10

Teach him to read.  2 year olds can learn, as I discovered from my daughter's 7th grade English teacher who taught gifted students,who taught her own 18month old to read, and also this woman on YahooAnswers who responded to me 6 months ago, when I asked a question re. teaching 4 year olds to read in school (I was getting teacher-certified) and I got these responses.  

One response:

That book is called "How To Teach Your Baby To Read" by Glenn Doman. It is wonderful, and still available. It worked like a charm with my two-year-old.

You should be aware that kids of illiterate parents are just like other kids. All kids can benefit from this kind of teaching. I have taught many students of illiterate parents, and I have found them to be intelligent and very motivated to help their children learn to read. One way they can do this is if you send home picture books and have the parents tell the story to the child based on what is happening in the pictures. This pre-reading activity is very valuable even if it happens in another language than English. It helps the child develop concepts and vocabulary, and excitement about books.

Another response:

Forget the research. I have taught several little ones to read, two of my own at ages 18 mos. and 2. I got my inspiration almost 30 years ago from a book called, I think, "You Can Teach Your Baby to Read" But it may just be, "Teach Your Baby to Read." The author, I think, was Glenn Dolman. It was a long time ago. And, of course, I wasn't illiterate. But the whole idea was to make it fun. I didn't follow his ideas very strictly, either. I just put words on cards and got my child to read them. In fact, with the first, he "read" his first word at 9 months. His first word was "ball" and he would repeat it for me any time I said, "say ball." So then, I wrote the word on a card, and got him to say ball when I held up the card. Then I went nuts and squealed and said he was a clever baby and so he would say ball every time I held up the card. When he learned to say "Mama" a few days later, I put the word "Mama on a card and held it up. In minutes, he could distinguish between the two, and I would cheer him on. By 18 months, he had a 60-word speaking and reading vocabulary. Everyone thought it was amazing. Then I got pregnant with the next one, was really busy, we moved, etc. I didn't get around to seriously teaching him again until he was 3. And it was easy. Then, the next year, when he was 4 and his sister was 2, I taught her to read. They are 29 and 27 now, and are both avid readers. Get the book. Make it fun. And don't start with boring, words like bat, sat, hat. Do words that grab their attention. I've been a reading teacher for over 30 years. I have discovered something amazing. If you teach a child to read in that window of time before they analyze things, just like language, they learn it easily and figure out the phonics for themselves. I f you wait until the ripe old age of 5 or 6, then they usually need phonics instruction, and methods to make it work. I don't know if this is true in all languages, but in English, where we have over a dozen different spellings for the sound of oo, as in boot, once children are old enough to analyze, and try to figure things out, it is harder to teach, but there is that window of time, when they can put it all together. You could make an amazing difference in these children's lives if you taught them now. I hope you do it.

Also, a lot of people use the Bob Books, which you can buy from the bookstore, and teach your child now to read using them.

Answer 11

The first step is to get an enjoyable book for that age.  Asking a librarian is a smart move.  She will know things like which books have won awards for illustration (pictures to show) and general story matter(get child's interest).  Be willing to read to your child to show him/her that she is special.  Having a quiet peaceful place without distractions is important.  Having a nice secure environment with you as a loving parent will remain with the child's subconscious as the book's story will remain in his/her conscious mind.

From that progress into book topics with which your child is familiar.  Point out these nouns and descriptives in the book and have your child repeat and recognize them as you read the full text of the book.  This takes time and patience.  The child will usually catch his/her own interest and try to recognize words and phrases in the book to impress you.  Praise your child for the successes made and overlook mistakes until the child has a sense that reading is fun and a way of gaining praise from you or others.  Using the book material in everyday life, point out objects and descriptives to the child when you are away from the book.  If the book is handy, fortify the everyday recognition with visual identification of the word in the book.  With those ideas your child will have the basis of becoming a successful reader.

Answer 12

read to him DAILY!! make it an enjoyable time. let him pick the book and discuss with him what its about and why he likes it. tecah him that books are special and that he needs to be very careful with them. children love books and he will too if you make it an enjoyable time

Answer 13

Just read to him every night. Buy him a book every time you go to the grocery store and he acts like he's supposed to. Go to the library and let him pick out books he wants to hear (usually with young kids this just means them going to the closest shelf and pulling out the three closest books, but they feel good about hearing them because they got to "pick" them.)

Answer 14

Take him to storytime at the library if they have it- expose him to books- read to him- let him see you reading- show him signs and different things while you are out and say heh that signs says Stop-etc.

Answer 15

I started reading to my children (age 5-boy. age 3-girl) when they were still in their mother's womb. Most of them were nursery rhymes & popular mother goose stories. Now, i still read with them children stories that are age appropriate. Normally, i read to them at least an hour before bed time.This is acually a down time when we are preparing to sleep. Reading to them is an opportunity for me to bond with them.   Moreover, they also see me or my wife read books by our favorite authors or magazines, etc...

Answer 16

feed him cheese
