Taught / teaching my boys to read with OLD phonics books (some non-PC shit in old "kids" books). 7yo is just about to finish Harry Potter and reads other books constantly. The soon to be 5yo is just starting his reading journey....is reading 1, 2 & 3 letter words quite well, gets better every day.

No TV and parents valuing reading as both entertainment and information, are the keys to getting kids to read.

Do kids even still do TV? I figured they'd all be on YouTube or something by this point.
