My Baby Can Read!

There was a time was when most parents would raise a quizzical brow when asked if they read to their babies. Babies are, after all, born with a need to be loved and hugged, and reading to them at the cradle is something most moms do not readily do.  My baby can read because we did it the right way, you don’t want to overdo it when you teach your baby to read.

My Baby Can Read At 9 Months Old

When you look at little babies, and see the expression on their eyes when they wake up in the morning, and they start to coo or laugh as adults smiling faces surround it, it’s really a divine experience.

*Newborns Focus On Objects 8 to 12 Inches Away

The least you’d want to do is try so hard and plunge into reading right away. Moreover, research points out that newborns are actually inclined to focus their vision on objects that are about 8 to 12 inches away from them. Newborn babies’ eyes also register hues like black & white, and red the best.

*First Make Your Focus On Toys Like Musical Mobiles, Wrist Rattles…..

Indeed, during infancy, moms deem it best to focus primarily on toys like musical mobiles, wrist rattles and other educational materials. Being a parent, a big concern of mine was over stimulation, I certainly did not want to teach my baby to read too soon and have her suffer the affects later.

*Don’t Over Stimulate When You Teach Your Baby To Read

Over stimulation has been known to create restlessness, uneasiness and other undesirable effects, you may opt to wait a few more months (preferably no earlier than 4 months) before creating baby bonding through relaxed or playful reading.

Or you can start out with toys or musical gifts that double as baby stimulation products designed to enhance infant development.

There are many parents who look forward to being able to eagerly exclaim “my baby can read!” but realistically speaking, most tots learn to read at around the age of six (or eight, in the case of late bloomers), or while in first grade. Infant learning researchers and psychologists maintain, however, that learning starts way before that time.

Many of you are always asking me how I taught my baby to read, in my next post I will be explaining exactly how my baby can read and how you can teach your baby to read too.
