There are so many things you can do in your play to encourage early reading. If you incorporate these games, there will be no formal lessons. Reading will be a natural part of your life and your child will learn to read easily and naturally. I will give you some ideas to get your creative juices flowing, although I am sure you will come up with some of your own.
First, when it comes to trying to teach your baby to read you have to understand that it is all about them. You cannot shove the words down their throats. You have to let them choose when they play reading games and when they don’t.
Don’t bore your baby. – Your baby has the ability to learn as many languages as they are exposed to from birth to five years old. This means your baby is extremely intelligent. Don’t bore your baby by going too slowly. Show the cards around 15 times per word and move on. You can review, but be sure to include plenty of new material.
This helps them to see the letters and the words much easier and it will be easier for them to find the reading games you use for teaching a baby to read more fun. This will help them to want to read more often as well.
Last, if you teach your baby to read at a young age you are going to set them up for an easier time early on in life. You will also be helping them to develop a much longer attention span as well. Plus they will be more interested in reading and they will learn more because they will love picking up a book to read instead of sitting in front of cartoons and other television shows.
