I remember when my 3 girls started Kindergarten; they were so excited to go to school. As time went by, they eventually learned how to read and it seemed as though they had an easier time learning to read compare to some children. I believe reading to them when they were just a little baby helped them tremendously how to read.
Kids who are struggling how to read might have a harder time in school, and have trouble understanding words. It can also lead to other problems later in life...
