The Research Behind Your Baby Can
Read!
You might be
wondering…why should parents teach their babies to read?
A baby’s brain thrives on stimulation and develops at a
phenomenol pace…nearly 90% during the first
five years of life! The best and easiest time to learn a
language is during the infant and toddler years, when the brain is
creating thousands of synapses every second – allowing a
child to learn both the written word and spoken word simultaneously,
and with much more ease.
Dr. Titzer says the current practice of starting to teach reading
skills in school is too late and children benefit greatly from getting
a much earlier start since a child basically has only one natural
window for learning language -- from about birth to about age four.
During this period it is easier for a child to learn any type of
language including spoken, receptive, foreign and written language. The
earlier the child is taught to read the better they will read and the
more likely they will enjoy it.
Studies prove that the earlier a child learns to read, the better they
perform in school and later in life. Early readers have more
self-esteem and are more likely to stay in school. Meanwhile, a
national panel of reading specialists and educators determined that
most of the nation’s reading problems could be eliminated if
children began reading earlier.
Maybe the
correct question is…Why should parent delay teaching a child
to read when the most natural time to learn language is during the
infant and toddler years?

Early Reading
Benefits:
- Early readers stay ahead of
children who are taught later in life.
- Studies from all areas of language
(spoken language, second languages, sign language, receptive language,
etc.) show that it’s easier to learn the patterns of language
early in childhood compared to later in childhood.
- Research has proven that a
child’s natural learning window is between during infancy
through age four.
- After the age of four,
the window of opportunity for learning language begins to close.
- A typical American school
doesn’t start teaching reading until kindergarten. Therefore,
we have missed the natural learning window.
- Reading is the most important
skill a child learns.
- Reading opens the door for many
other opportunities for learning and it helps children succeed in
school and in life.
- Children who enter school already
reading have higher self-esteem than children who cannot read when they
enter school.
- Children who are taught to read
earlier prefer to read more than children who are taught at age five or
later.
- It’s likely the brain
will develop more efficiently for reading when the child learns to read
early in childhood compared to later in childhood.
- The current methods and ages of
teaching reading are not working for hundreds of millions of children
around the world.
- Teaching reading earlier may
eliminate most reading problems according to a US National Panel of
Reading Specialists and Early Childhood Educators.
- Better readers are more likely to
stay in school than poor readers.
