The value of reading to children

Does reading to children help them learn to read?
“Eric Durbrow pointed me to this article in the Globe and Mail. Its lead sentence offers a surprising claim:
Parents take note: Reading to your preschoolers before bedtime doesn’t mean they are likely to learn much about letters, or even how to read words.”
And my comment has to be that they will learn so much more.  Visit my page on literacy and find the multitude of sites that prove the value of reading to children.
