My baby can read

[MamaTuska]

I am new and this is my first post. I just want to know your opinion. My baby is recognising words by following what is written such as she claps when seeing a word. I assume this is ordinary. My DD is 13 months (she is my first), we speak to her in two languages and I use flash cards as she enjoys playing with them a lot. We do not use them everyday but she plays with them quite often. Is there anything else I can do to boost this ability.

I’m not actually saying ahhh and cuuh. I was trying to differentiate between ay (A) and see (C) because it’s hard to make that clear over a written post. Of course when I’m spelling out I’m saying the letters as they’re said in the word. Given that I’ve worked in preschools and reception classes for nearly ten years I do have some understanding of teaching small children to read.

You'd be amazed at the number of people who don't. I've seen TAs who've been ostensibly teaching children to read for over twenty years add the schwa.

Do you clap her every time she does this, I think you have your answer.
