Unlike language, most children do not “naturally” learn to read, where they pick it up simply by being around it. Evidence shows the majority of children require explicit instruction in how to learn to read. Surrounding a child with books is not enough to instill a love of literature; first, they must learn how to decode individual words by recognizing sounds, letters, and how they blend. But they cannot learn this alone, a teacher must instruct them systematically in a classroom.
