Can
I teach to read to my baby?
Babies
learn to talk, so they can read too!
From time to time we see a very young
kid reading by the age of four and maybe earlier, and
we think it's amazing. However, the "normal" time for kids to read has
been established arbitrarily by our education system and has remained
like that for about a century. The truth is, children are perfectly
able to learn to read much earlier than the beginning of School. In
fact, learning to read should be as natural as learning to speak. After
all, speaking and reading are two faces of the same human ability: LANGUAGE.
The earlier, the easier
Infancy
is the period when the brain develops the fastest. As soons as the
vocal capacity
is ready to work, children quickly learn to speak, sometimes as early
as 10
months, and easily achieve a remarkable expertise within one
or
two years. During this period of fast development, the brain can adapt
more easily and develop a higher level of skills. And what is true for
talking, is true for reading.
Early years,
precious time
As a result of the accelerated process of brain and neural development
during the first years, it turns out that the best time for learning
the basic structure of language is between infancy and about four years
of age. Of course, kids can still learn beyond that, but at a lower
efficiency. That's why the time between infancy and four constitutes a window of opportunity,
a fertile period during which the child can learn at the fastest pace.
A lifetime of benefits.
Early learning offers
wide range of benefits for the child, benefits that will accompany her
for the rest of the life. For more information, visit YouBabyCanRead
