Teaching Babies to Read
September 21, 2016
There's power in allowing yourself to be known and heard, in owning your unique story, in using your authentic voice.
-Michelle Obama, former First Lady, United States

In her article "I Want My Baby to Read: Supporting Parents in Guiding Early Language and Literacy Development," Bisa Batten Lewis offers these reasons why teaching babies to read is not good practice:

  • It's not developmentally appropriate.
  • There is no need to rush.
  • Babies don't read; they memorize!
  • Reading instruction is too formal for babies who learn best through play.
  • Other areas of development suffer.
  • Reading early will not make your baby a genius.
