Listen closely.
Permit child exploring under supervision.
Enjoy new and novel adventures.
Read and provide books and quiet settings.
Have confidence and patience and encourage language.
Read yourself.
Develop the child's positive attitude toward reading.
Since the child is learning to read from birth on, the literacy experiences a parent provides at home will influence early literacy.

Answer to Question 2

Research, the No Child Left Behind Act, standards, state mandated curriculum, parent's priorities, the awareness that many children learn to read with difficulty, and the accreditation of teacher training programs, NAEYC Standards for Professional Preparation.
