Has to be older then 20 months look at the size of her, but it is good that she can read.xx

[2babyreaders]

@mrsturrell1 She was exactly 20 months here... she wasn't huge, though? About 75th percentile or so.

@2babyreaders have you repeatedly used these flash cards?.......or is this the first time she is seeing these WORDS

[2babyreaders]

@soccergirl8xo I'm sure some of them she had seen and others she hadn't (don't think she had seen Walgreens on a card though)... I don't really remember. She's 7 now and her teacher just tested her reading - comprehension 11th grade level & college-level fluency, so I don't suppose it matters :-) At this early stage it was just memorization of the symbols, before she moved into actual phonetic reading from age 2-3. She was able to read anything (newspapers, unfamiliar street signs, etc) @ 3.

Pushing your children at a young age like this can do severe damage. They will grow up with sever social problems.

My daughter shown here (now 5) is VERY well adjusted, bright, social, and highly motivated. She is very independent because she can research her own areas of interest (from researching Barbies to volcanoes and the solar system). The girl LOVES to read - and reads chapter fiction books for pleasure now. She is so far away from being "socially backward" it's ridiculous... she just has a natural born inclination for reading and writing. She was not "pushed" into reading at any time.

I think she sees every word as a picture, having what's written on them memorized as the picture's "name", as you can hear she insists that the word "running" spells "boat". Yet, this is very impressive.

We taught our kids to read using BrillKids Little Reader. It's roughly the same price as Your Baby Can Read but you get a lot more bang for your buck because it has 3,000 words. Plus I used BKAFF40902 to save a little more $. They offer a 2 week trial period but unlike YBCR, they don't require a credit card upfront which I really like. This little girl us very bright, but all babies can learn to read!! If you spend 5 minutes on the BrillKids forums you'll find hundreds of babies reading.

@dvs1572 how is that causing her sever social problems? if she didnt want to say a word she doesnt, u cant make her, but if her (grand)parents say she is very bright then its good. very good way to teach a child. after that comment i wonder how if u had kids how u would teach them to talk and read :/

[TeachMeProperDancin]

@juhfreak Not in the same sense. We recognize a word by its length and structure. After having read a word multiple times, you'll recognize its length and structure as you're familiar with it already. It's kind of the same, yet not exactly the same.

[juhfreak]

@TeachMeProperDancin Yes, that is how most of us read once we're good at it.

[juhfreak]

@dvs1572 Oh no!! "Sever social problems"?!!

she will never forget these happy times with mom

My child is 20 months right and Can name things and animals or reproduces the sound they make when I show him the picture or (in)complete drawing. Even in books he's able to spot them.

It didn't occur to me trying written words yet.

Children are just amazing.

I am glad that you decided to share this video. Most children have that ability, however many do not get that exposure. I exposured my children early to reading and therefore, they also were able to read at that age. Great job. I hope she does well in life.
