Unfortunately, my advice is useless for English speakers.
I was raised in Russia, and my mom tricked me into learning to read. Russian is very phonetic - if you know the alphabet, you can sound out words and understand them (compare this with "daughter" - good fucking luck, kid.)
So she would start reading a book, wait until a really exciting part of the plot was coming up, and then put the book down next to me and excuse herself for a moment - she had to stir the pot on the stove, or help my dad look for something, or whatever sounded plausible to me - and being impatient, I would pick up the book and struggle to read, because I wanted to know what was coming next.
