Shouldn a pre-schooler just be free to play instead of learning to read?
We often get asked this question. Asking “Can a child learn too early?” is a bit like asking “Can a child learn too much?” Learning is fun for the very young. The little three-year-old running around saying “why” to everything is not doing it just to annoy you. He really needs to know some answers. It is his way of working out his world. Just as play is educational for children, learning is fun. Learning is best made just a part of everything else. The more formal aspects where you re sitting down learning from the books need only take a few minutes out of each day but you ll probably find your child asking for more than this.
