It's true. Reading to infants, toddlers, and preschoolers is one of the best ways to prepare them for learning to read in elementary school. The young children learn that language has rhythm, alliteration, and rhyme. Language conveys ideas and emotions. Language tells stories and can be illustrated with pictures. Language is symbolic (in our language, via a letter alphabet).
