I guess reading to a kid is better than nothing. Kind of like giving a fish to a starving man. Of course teaching the kid to read for himself is what should always be done (at least by the time the kid is 4).

It almost always starts by reading to them.

Large value in both -

for a pre-Ker, reading to them gives them a love of books that carries over into the time after they learn to read.

Reading to your child is more then just helping them with their reading skills, it allows you to discuss the story and ask “what if?” questions.
