Reading is essential to your children's later success in life because their ease with language is what will decide later on if they will be primarily communicating in their job (and thus ordering other people) or receiving communication (and being ordered around themselves). And since reading is so very important, teaching your children how to read is an important task in the life of every parent and should definitely be taken to heart and cared for. Now it can be very hard to teach them because at such a young age their concentration is weak and they cannot stay calm doing something for a long time, so you will probably have a hard time teaching them anything if you do not resort to some kind of trick.
An easy way of tricking them into learning how to read rapidly are reading games. Disguising learning as a game is common practice in getting children to do the learning work, and if this is more pleasurable for them than strict practice with a book and exercises, why shouldn't they do it rather the fun way?
Reading games can be of every nature. You could try making flashcards for your children with words like the names of animals and a photo of the animals on the back which allows them to see what they just read and to make the logical connection between word and reality, which exactly what reading is all about. Such games can even be played independently from their parents once the children find a game which really pleases them. This is an easy way of having them learn and advance in their life without stressing them out. The fun is essential to this learning process because at this impressionable age, children form a big part of their attitudes later in life, which means that a forced learning process will leave them resenting school for the rest of their lives, while positive feedback and games which they can enjoy leave them loving the feeling of learning new things every day. It's all up to you.
