Why would it be wrong? Providing you aren't pressuring them and making the reading unattractive and they are interested in doing it I can only see it as a good thing! Most schools welcome children who already have the basic grasp of reading and writing.

I think if you pre-schooler can pick it up, that is great! I worked with some one who taught this 3 yur old to read and she read on a 1st grade level. If you can have your child pick up at least the basics and understand phonics, that will help her in school.

yes of course it is ok... the sooner they can read the better.. my son is in grade 1 and he can read now which I am sooooo proud about.. all reading is good for kids there is no age to early to start reading ... my son also started to learn to read in preschool which was great!!!

How old is that? Why wouldn't it be okay? I learned to read early; I remember wondering in first grade why most of the children couldn't read. Reading is very important -- just make sure the child gets exercise and doesn't spend all day focusing closely on books.
