Teaching Babies to Read

03/11/2015

Acknowledging the good that you already have in life is the foundation for all abundance.
Eckhart Tollle

In the Beginnings Workshop section of the just published March/April 2015 issue of Exchange, Bisa Batten Lewis describes in detail six reasons why teaching babies to read is NOT good practice in her article "'I Want My Baby to Read': Supporting Parents in Guiding Early Language and Literacy Development":

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.
