I am studying Japanese and recently picked up a childrens book to help my reading skills. I have not been given any guidance to where to begin reading.
Thanks!

It's not back to front...because to them American books are read from back to front! Lets just say...Japanese books and also Chinese books are read with the pages turning to the right (opposite of Americans).
Like traditional Chinese books (since the Japanese language and calligraphy came from Chinese language), Japanese books are read from the right top going down and up and down and up until you reach the left bottom.
Some modern books are products you buy will have readings just like American books meaning reading from the left top to the right bottom (across). ^^ Hope that helped.

Traditional books are although today many are arranged in the European manner. When you can read Japanese the arrangement of the text will be apparent.

Yes, they are read back to front. But I think each page is read left to right, characters going down the page, rather than across.

Text can go any way it can. It can be read like how you mentioned it,Western style(how English is read), or right to left from upper right to lower left.

It's possible to spend plenty of time and income trying to find ways to train your children how to see and boost their reading skills. Is difficult to teach a small kid how to see, and actually alluring them to see is challenging in itself. But it doesn't need to be that way since you got the aid of this system https://tr.im/MOdQb , Children Learning Reading program.
With Children Learning Reading you will teach your child how to separate seems and separate phrases into phonemes, a vital point as soon as your child is just learning to spell.
The studying system from Children Learning Reading program allows you for children to learn easily and effectively, from easy phrases to sentences till they understand to learn stories.
