First, the whole "Sold a Story" podcasts are well worth a listen to.

That being said, I'm shocked that so many upper class families aren't teaching their kids to read. I taught both my kids to read. You can do it in 20 to 30 minutes a day. I did it with this book which is amazing.

My daughter was reading very well at 5, my son before he was 6. I had my daughter take the 3rd grade exam at 7, and she tested at grade level 4 in reading, and grade level 4.5 in math.

Turn off the TV, and spend time with your kids. It's your job.
