In regard to Jan Rowell's comment that teaching kids to read
early limits them, no one says that you can't read to them from
other books while working on reading skills at other times.
Bedtime is a good time for you to read to your child since
many times they are too tired to work at reading.  Besides
if Jan's arguement were carried to its logical conclusion
we would never "waste" time teaching children reading since
that time could "always be better spent" reading to them
from the whole world of literature.
