Baby Names: Teaching Your Baby to Read

These are great resources to show you how to teach your baby to read. I started with Jett at 4 or 5 months old with flash cards and stopped between 8-12 months. Of course we've been reading every day and doing other reading-related activities. At 17 months, he started sight reading and at 18 months, he learns new words everyday!

Sept. 5, 2011 At Kindermusik, two weeks ago, I was talking to the owner of the building and there was a sign that had a list of snacks on it. Jett pointed and said, "Wassthis?" and made me read it. Then he interrupted me and pointed and said, "Chips!" And the guy just about fell over because the next word on the list was chips! I had just told the guy that Jett could sight read a couple of words. I assured the guy that "chips" was one of Jett's words and that he can't REALLY read, like phonetically. But the guy was amazed nonetheless! Be sure to check out the related posts for more details on teaching your baby or young child to read.

How to Teach Your Baby to Read by Glenn Doman, Janet Doman
This is a super great book. You don't need to start this until your baby can identify pictures, but you need time to read it and to make or purchase the flash cards. If you are making them yourself, you need a couple of months to do it so you won't be overwhelmed.
