All three of my daughters have a love for reading and I attribute it to the amount of reading we did with them since they where infants. For my oldest, after she learned the phonetics of each letter, we made flash cards from the Dolch list (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolch_word_list) and had her practice those. Since they appear most frequently it gave her the ability to zip through sentences at a very young age. | |

If it doesn't fit the rules she knows thus far, reiterate that language (assuming English, especially) always has special cases and that it will take time to learn them. You want to make sure she knows that it's difficult and takes time, not that she's dumb. | |

tiny punctuation fix: shame to have one in the top-rated answer about literacy! (also moved to SE list markup to bring character count up)
