F．Whether reading early promises later achievements
76．Learning to read early has become one of those indicators-in parents'minds at least-that their child is smart．In fact，reading early has very little to do with whether a child is successful academically．Research has shown that difficulty with reading is often due not to inferior intelligence but to differences in the developmental wiring of each individual child．In some cases，there are neurological problems and developmental lags that can be overcome with proper training．F

Traditionally，American schools teach children at age six，but many schools begin teaching informally in kindergarten and pre-kindergarten．If parents start too early to encourage reading，and a child does not immediately succeed，the parent has a hard time relaxing and letting the child go at his or her own pace．A
78．
Over the years，research has proved that the use of both the"whole language"method and the"phonic"method works best for a child to master reading．While the whole language approach，which includes reading to children and getting them interested in both the activity of reading and the story they are reading，is helpful，phonics must be taught．Children must be taught that one of the squiggles they see is a"p"and another a"b"．Getting the print off the page requires a different ability than being able to understand the meaning of what is written．E
79．
You can start developing the skills needed in reading at a very young age without putting any pressure on children．Besides reading to them，parents can start"ear training"their child by playing rhyme games．This develops the child's ability to recognize different sounds．In reading to children，parents also can point to words as they go，teaching the child that the funny lines on the page are the words you are saying．All this should be a fun activity．D

Once a child is in school，the learning of reading is inevitably more serious．For children who have some kind of reading difficulty，you must get a professional diagnosis．While the teacher might say the child is merely disinterested but will get over it，disinterest or poor performance in reading can stem from a number of things，some being very specific learning disabilities that can be identified and worked on．But it is very tricky for parents to deal with their own child's learning disabilities．C．
