If you want your children to love reading and enjoy learning, you will find Trevor Cairney's Literacy, families and learning to be a great source for helping you to achieve this objective.
His article Starting school: is there a best age? is great advice for those who are thinking about whether their children should begin school in 2013 or 2014, but is probably too late for those whose children are beginning school in a few days' time.
But there is still plenty in this article to interest parents of brand new schoolchildren.
And all of this has relevance to budding musicians. You don't need to be able to read to enjoy and play music, especially when you are a toddler and participating in Early Childhood Music classes.
But good reading skills are very helpful for primary school children having individual instrumental or vocal lessons.
