A fun way to encourage your baby to read is to purposely make a mistake when reading a favorite story or singing a favorite song.  When you get to a word that your child knows, goof it up and then ask them to help you so you can read it correctly.  It is a light and fun way to get silly while teaching your baby to read.  Be sure to tell your baby that you don't know what is wrong.  You are having trouble and mixing up the words and that you need their help to get it right.  Children love to play games.  Make it fun and they won't be able to get enough.
