Book Smart: How I Taught My Son To Read Before Age Three

Book Smart How I Taught My Son to Read before Age Three is a reading program that teaches children how to read by 2 1/2 years old! Where most reading programs are just beginning to think about teaching reading starting between the ages of three to five, this program starts at birth. So our babies are able to enjoy the pursuit of and the fruits of early reading. Reading provides children comfort and joy both with their parents and while playing quietly. As Alden puts it: 'Reading is a fun and magical experience that no child should have to be without!'

1Get real!  Sep 26, 2007
By Bad BAd Cook
This book contains page after page of the author's eat, sleep, and play schedules. Granted, good nutrition, good sleep habits, and a close emotional bond with the teacher/parent can enhance any learning experience, but do we really need to read page after page of schedules? Who honestly lives like that?

The author didn't breastfeed and anyone who has knows this rigid scheduling wouldn't necessarily work with a nursing infant or child.

Don't waste your money. Instead use your own intuition and knowledge of your child.

2Pushing Academics Too Early Has Real Consequences!  Oct 11, 2007
By Bioluminescence
I am a former kindergarten/1st grade teacher. I started reading to my baby when she was 2 days old! I applaud every parent who wants to share the magic of books with their child. There are lots of great ways to talk about and explore literature together that will help your kid in school later on. That said, I think as parents we need to be very careful to not damage our kids by trying to turn them into superbabies. This is a BIG risk when you start explicitly teaching preschoolers. Even some kindergarteners are not developmentally ready to read independantly. Several countries that wait until later than that have 100% literacy rates and ZERO reading "disabilities." I personally want a creative, happy, self-assured child more than one that is academically advanced at a young age. Academic instruction too young makes your kid adult-dependant for activities and discourages them from taking risks in play and life. It actually makes them LESS likely to want to learn later, and less likely to follow their interests. If this concerns you at all, please check out "Miseducation: Preschoolers at Risk" by David Elkind. A better book for reading with the tiny ones is "Reading With Babies, Toddlers and Twos."

4Lots of Good Ideas  Nov 03, 2007
By R. Ruotolo
Katherine White as provided the reader with lots of good real-life ideas that work. I have met Alden and I am amazed at how well he was able to read and speak at such a young age. It is fun reading too. Enjoy!

1Not at all impressed  Jul 11, 2007
By T.D. "(voracious devourer of the written word)"
If I'd wanted to read an advertisement for "Baby Wise", I'd have just bought Baby Wise!
