Which do YOU think is correct and why? If we know that, we can help you better.

I think number 1 is the best answer because you must have rich,strong base in quality literature.
However,experiences are important because they are needed in order to promote reading.
I agree with you that #1 is best.

Yes, experiences are important, but not necessarily experiences "focused on written language." Young children don't have a large store of those yet!
