If you have heard about the new thing with babies, then you probably think it is too good to be true. However, you might be curious about teaching a baby to read and whether it is possible or not. There are many babies that can read and many that pick up on words before they even have lived a full year. It seems amazing, but here are some of the things that you should know.
Magnetic Letters - Remember the magnetic letters we played with when we were kids? These letters are powerful tools when used to teach babies to read. They are so handy and useful for creating all kinds of words, couplets and sentences. You can use them on your refrigerator, or you can get a magnetic board and keep it in the baby's room. Your baby will be delighted to see you spelling out their name, your name or any other word you come up with. They are bright and colorful, which makes them more attractive to a baby.
If they are not showing any interest, then do something else and try again later. After a while they will love your reading times and they will want to do it more often. Second, when you are teaching a baby to read you have to use very large letters because babies do not see as well as they will when they are a little older.
Cater to your baby's interests. - Although there are packaged reading programs available, be sure to include words that your baby finds interesting. Don't be afraid to add words to your program. As far as what you can teach, the sky is the limit. Don't limit yourself in thinking that any program is perfect. You can add and take away from them as needed.
Dry Erase Board - If you get the board for the magnetic letters, it is most likely a dry erase board. This can be another wonderful tool when used to create words and sentences on demand. You can write your baby notes while you hold them in your arms. I used to write my son all kinds of sentences on the dry erase board before he was one year old. I could see him following the text with his eyes, even though he couldn't really speak. I would write, "Joshua is a boy," or "Joshua is handsome.
