My daughter is 3 and knows all of her letters, numbers, and can write. She wants me to teach her how to read, but I don't know where to start. Does anyone know any places or websites that could help me? I live in Michigan. Thank you!

I have early readers too. Here are a few ideas that I have used:
The one show I let my children watch is PBS Between the Lions. If you watch videos, turn on the captioning so the words scroll at the bottom of the screen.
Using board books, read aloud and have her point to the word you are saying. She'll get a sense of sentence structure.
Teach her to recognize one sight word, like in "Go Dog Go", Teach her the word "dog". You read the book, she points at words as you read,and whenever there is the word "dog", she reads the word (you pause). Slowly add words to the same book.
Write her a message and leave it on the breakfast table for her to find each morning. "Dear (Janie), I hope you have a great day today! I love you, Love Mommy" As she gets better, include what she's going to do today, and she'll be able to look forward both to reading the message and the fun she'll have that day.
Check your yellow pages for "Holcomb's Knowplace". There are several around Michigan. They sell teacher supplies, and you can get some nice posters that kindergarten teachers post in their classrooms. Either post them around her room or playroom, or put them on an easel and rotate them. Nice ones have colors, shapes, school supplies, things around town, etc.
Play school and take turns where she is the teacher. Have her write on a little chalkboard/whiteboard.
Get magnetic poetry and stick the words all over your frij or inside of a metal door (mine are on the one leading to garage, since exterior doors are metal). Encourage her to make sentences. Take her photo with messages to certain people and email it to them.
Get her a kid's email account tied to yours, and have her type messages to grandma or faraway friends. She'll love reading what they write back.
If you have a label maker, label things around the house. Tape the word "lamp" to the lamp, "salt" to the salt. Later, this works great for improving foreign language vocabulary too. If you don't want public areas of your house labelled, just label the playroom and her room. Let her know that some words are "sight words" because they don't follow the usual phonics. Make sure these are posted or labelled. You can download copies of 100 first sight words or contact your nearest kindergarten teacher for a copy.
Good luck to you!

I second the person who said "books." Seriously, just read aloud to her. A lot. That is honestly the only thing I did with two of my kids, one who started reading on her own at 3, and the other started reading at 4. Read some of the same very easy books to her over and over, and run your finger under the words while you read. Sometimes you can stop and let her try to fill in the word. Give her a chance to "read" to herself those books she's read over and over. At first she'll just be reciting from memory. Over time, she'll be connecting the words with what she's reading. One day she'll startle you by reading something you haven't read to her first.
Also, play games that make her start to listen carefully to the parts of words and the sounds the letters make. Take turns thinking of rhyming words with her so she starts to understand the parts of a word. Think of words that start with the "S" sound. Keep it a game and stop when (or before) she loses interest. Have her write signs and things ... don't worry about correct spelling (she'll probably skip the vowels, for example), but she'll start to figure out how to sound things out. I'm generally opposed to "learning" videos, but you might also try The Letter Factory and The Word Factory videos (by Leapfrog) -- they're fun and teach early phonics.

The quandary that numerous parents end up in is they do not have enough time to look for the proper eBook s and learning structure with which to teach their young ones but with this specific plan https://tr.im/BrlFq , Children Learning Reading this issue is arrive at a end.
Children Learning Reading is very comprehensive, and your son or daughter can have no issues assimilating the instructions because the classes are well-designed. Since the system is founded on phonetics, the learning method is gradual.
In Children Learning Reading program the instructions are special and can not be within different learning methods.

Try searching for books titled 'my first book' or 'my first words'.
Have a look in book stores for books with easy words and nice pictures, maybe you're daughter could help you pick one.

dont use tech. just sit down with her and take your finger and say the words and what they mean and tell her to repeat the word and meaning and spell it if shes good at it that works and that gives your child a super head start.
