Human: What's the best way to get a child to learn how to read? Assistant: 
The best way to teach a child to read is by using phonics-based instruction. This approach uses letter-sound associations and teaches children to recognize, blend, and manipulate sounds within words in order to build their reading skills. Additionally, it is important for parents to provide plenty of exposure to books, both at home and in school, as this helps to develop an understanding of language and vocabulary. Finally, providing incentives such as rewards or special treats can help motivate children to keep trying and learning.
