Not at all, you're completely wrong. Children can only learn the joy of reading by discovering for themselves how much they enjoy a book that they read themselves and imagined through in their head themselves without any external aid. There truly is something special about reading your first book unaided.
And remember there are training wheels already out there... they are called childrens books.
Believe it or not I still remember my first book. The Phantom Tollbooth. My parents were supportive and had confidence that I could read it through myself. And that was what I needed. Not tv masquerading as reading. Not them reading for me. Just me reading it myself. What I needed was encouragement not a replacement.
