I notice my son (5 now) picks up characters quite quickly when they are presented (like in The Pet Dragon book) but just started him with verbal Chinese, as one would do with verbal English. And now that he has had a year of phonics in English online at Readingeggs.com and can pick out words on a page by saying it out loud and sounding out the first letter, I have started introducing him to pinyin via the Babies Learn Chinese dvds (Kids Learn Chinese Phonics)... he already knows the ABC song in English and French, so it is not a stretch for him to learn the BPMF song to the same tune, NOW that he is interested in reading.
