TEACHING READING IN PHASE 0 IS E-A-S-Y!

From page 67 of Raising Confident Readers:


TEACHING READING IN PHASE 0 IS E-A-S-Y!

Teaching babies and toddlers in Phase 0 is E-A-S-Y. Just Remember:

E is for Early start.

A is for Activities.

S is Stimulation.

Y is for You.
Early Start
Your baby's brain is ready for reading at birth. Even before birth, if you are reading a children's storybook aloud, baby's brain responds to the  musical quality of the sound, which she can already hear from inside the womb. If you are her mother, she will recognize your voice within a few days after her birth.....
...There is overwhelming evidence that starting early with language is an advantage. Printed language is a visual form of communication--just as sign languagefor deaf children is a visual language.
