To raise a confident reader is EASY...by starting Reading Aloud to your child. I love Bob Books Box sets. Introducing literacy by engaging babies and toddlers in activities: like Drawing for 18-24 months baby. Drawing is a form of literacy. The whimsy drawing in all the Bob Books opens the door to a young child's imagination.
"Through drawing, not only is the child more confident to write, but the child simultaneously improves their oral language, including vocabulary." -Bromley, T., & Turner, K. (2019). https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/A589966985/AONE?u=anon~44f6273e&sid=googleScholar&xid=7a9fcd17Practical

Back to the basic... To raise a reader, parents should just sit next to your child and open a book! Action speaks louder than words!!
