My Baby Can Read! The Next Big Thing

My baby can read, but do you remember when you first started to read? Back in the days, it was only the ‘baby Einsteins’ who had the ability to read at such a young age. However, today’s generation of kids have developed at such a rapid rate that most parents do not know how to keep up with them anymore. Teenagers think that laptop computers and mobile phones are their birthright – the Internet and social networking sites have become their means of communication.

Similarly, the younger kids’ academic knowledge is developing at a much faster rate than the typical kid born two or three decades ago. There are even babies who are starting to read when they’re just that: babies!

A parent saying “My baby can read!” may just be the next big thing – so if you’re a parent, you can be even prouder of your child. There are things that you can do on your end to teach your baby to learn at such a young age.

The Real Deal about Your Child’s Developmental Activities

The truth is that children who are between three months to five years of age are in the process of developing 90% of their brain. During this period, expect them to absorb information like a sponge because their brain can process information at an amazingly fast rate.

Instead of waiting for your kid to start learning once he or she starts going to school what you can do is get a head start in developing your baby’s reading skills. Take advantage of that heightened brain development that your child is experiencing.

A basic ‘lesson’ that you can have with your child is to present boldly printed words, which you should pronounce slowly and clearly. If you’re teaching your child the word ‘Mommy’, for example, you can flash the written word, pronounce it clearly and point to yourself so that your child would know that you are Mommy.

Basically, the point of taking advantage of your baby’s developmental activity at such an early age is that he or she can get a head start in school.

Fun Ways on Getting Your Baby to Read

When teaching your baby to read, remember not to obsess about it. My baby can read because we didn’t overdo it. Remember that a three-month-old child is still in the process of discovering new things that he or she has seen for the first time. What you are doing as a parent when teaching your baby to read at such an early age is to merely add to the possibilities of the things that your child can learn.

As a general rule, you should make sure that the reading lessons are fun, short and does not take a lot of work from you or your baby. So what are the most effective yet still fun ways that you can use if you would like to teach your baby how to read?

First, there’s the traditional flash card method where you will be using cards with a word written in large font, printed in bright, attractive colours. The good thing about using flash cards to get your baby to learn is that they are ready-made, and usually come with a clear, bold illustration on the side. This way, your child can easily associate the written word with its meaning.

Second, you can use one of the many teach-my-baby-how-to-read systems which are available in the market today. The Your Baby Can Read program by Dr. Titzer is a great one. These usually come in a boxed set of DVDs, flash cards, books and other learning sets to make it easier for you to teach your baby how to read.

No matter which teaching method it is that you use to get your baby to start reading, it is important to up the ante and pair or cluster the words together once they have already been learned. This way, your baby can turn into a little reading genius in no time at all and you’ll be screaming “my baby can read!” in no time flat.
