Children who develop a love of reading, develop a love for learning. Children who struggle with reading, struggle with learning.

Abstraction follows from a solid foundation of concrete learning about the world, a young child's environment. A parent or primary caregivers duty is to supply a constant stream, from birth to about age 5-6, of stimulating objects, content to follow nature's intent. A young child's job is essentially play. With this firm foundation learning to read is a next natural step. Additionally, after this initial period birth to 5-6, all education arises from and is centered on the heart, the emotions. Motivation is central to all aspects of education, after this period of play, engaging the child's emotions is the key. From birth to 5-6 nature supplies the drive to learn. But about this time when ego/personality is for the most part formed, the child's newly formed identity begins to take the place of nature's drive. This is when everything can go bonkers, depending upon what has become implanted in the child, from "conditioning". A teacher's job is to learn what hooks the (individual) child's emotions. Then intellectual thirst follows naturally. And then reading, yes, greatly expands the child's world, almost without limit.
The caregiver's job of the young child is basically not to screw up nature's/Divine intent.
