    I remember for show-and-tell one day in my Kindergarten class, I read the whole class one of my favorite books. That's really my earliest memory of reading. I should call my mom and ask her when I first started. lol I doubt she'll remember though.

    I worked at a day care and at age 2 the kids should know some letters and know their name. Try putting cards out with other kids names on them and asking your child to pick witch one his is every time he gets it wrong tell him that its not it give him a SMALL hint and to try again. like maybe there's a letter in his name that looks like something to him and tell him to look for that and then do it every day.
