Ok, I agree that a child can learn to read words using your method but Read With Me! allows a much more natural way to introduce your child to reading, and keeps the child much more involved. Give it a try with your child and see if she can read the words from the picture books you read to her. We would be very interested in your experiences.
I really don't think this method has anything to do with learning. All this child is doing is memorizing sounds and actions to the word, not actually learning the word. I think a better way to teach your child to learn is through this app called Read With Me! on iTunes. It's less drill and kill. You should try it out!!
@sanfranlove1 It starts out as memorization, but it's a precursor to "real" reading and it does work. This one is now in kindergarten and reads at approximately a 3rd grade level. My older one (now in 3rd grade) did the same flashcards, etc. and reads at a college level now.
People often confuse 'Reading' with 'understanding'. Decoding is not the same as comprehension. What worries me about this upload is that the words have no context and no relationship with each other. Very young children learn to associate symbols (letters, numbers, pictures etc.) with experiences within contexts. Does the tiger say Hi to a ball whilst riding a bike whose wheels are circles as he passes cows and a goat who sit on teeth whilst flying a kite .... No. It's nonsense and pointless.
@lulumother Hmmm, such a well reasoned argument (not teaching reading or spelling to young kids), especially coming from a self proclaimed English-speaking expert who posts naked YouTube videos of their children in bathtubs (no show there for pedophiles!), supports "chassing" and torturing chickens where you're not "supose" to, and teaches children to pick up cats by the ears. Perfectly civilized and reasonable. I'm so ashamed that I'm teaching my kids to - GASP - read!
@2babyreaders you go assuming a lot of stuff about me, when you know you are pushing a little to much on your daughter ...she is just a toddler why would she want to look at that much words except for your approuval !!! toddlers prefer running around and explore in a physical way. I do teach words and letters to my kids but when i see they are not interested to it, i don`t try to get their attention back on it with animal sounds....
@lulumother I'm not assuming anything - just looking at your video posts... just like you did mine. You're assuming my kids are miserable. They are probably the most sickeningly happy kids on the planet... and I didn't have to spend hours/day of their childhood teaching them the mechanics of reading since it comes naturally to them. 5 minutes/day as babies vs. 1-2 hours/day as elementary aged children. Pretty sure that my kids are happy they can play instead of struggling to read now.

I started your baby can read 10 months ago. with my 4 year old and 1 year old. My 4 year old is also reading at 1st to 2nd grade level. And my 19 month can read some words too. It's a wonderful thing, and I've come to realize there are different stages to learning to read. Memorizing is first level to learning to read. Sounding out new words, ect. Early Education gives them an Early Advantage! It's True
Notice how this girl looks at the mother after reading the word. Also she has to be prompted to maintain attention to the words, which is normal for that age. The other child is abnormally attracted to words and doesn't engage with the adults beyond reading. Elizabeth is most likely "hyperlexic" which is associated with autism. They should consult a neuropsychologist, not their pediatrician.
Are you dumb? Who the hell do you think you are trying to diagnose someones child via the internet. Clearly the baby is more concerned with what she was doing! Babies pay less attention to something they are LESS interested in (and so do adults)
This isn't the Good Morning America reader - and she isn't sounding out words yet, but her sister started to read around a year and at age 4 now reads at a 3rd grade level. So, while I believe that this one is currently "memorizing" words, it probably is a natural precursor to reading, as it was for her sister. Same general path... started reading at 1 year, and reads at a 3rd grade level now at age 4. At 2, her sister could read anything...so I'm assuming that will be the case with this one!
Amazing..I saw this little girl on Good morning American I think it was...She can really read and not just recall words...She's the cutest little genius I've ever seen:)

Wow. She really identifies words (by reading?). Brush was a good example. First wrong read and another look gave a right word.
