I learned to read sitting on my grandmother's lap while she read from a giant(to me at the time) book of nursery rhymes. I can actually hear her say Who killed Cock Robin in my head 60 years later. By the time I was four I could read pretty well all of the children's newspaper supplement of the Toronto Star weekly.
My parents read to me when time and patience permitted, but I could not see the words as I was in bed and the reader was on a chair.
I think ebook applications that read aloud but show the text at the same time would be good for those parents that have no time or inclination to read aloud but would of course lack the intimacy and attention that a child gets from being read aloud to.
I was very lucky in that I got both from my grandmother.
