http://brillbaby.com | This video was taken when Felicity was 12 and a half months old.
Here's baby Felicity reading again, this time mainly reading the words out loud, like Daddy, Mommy, baby, ball, knee, cup, bubble, dog and some Chinese words.
No one had to force her (we do not believe in forcing!), and sometimes you can't drag her away from her books.
Note: When this video was taken, she did not know phonics, in that she either recognizes the word, or she doesn't. If your definition of "reading" means she must know phonics, then she doesn't know how to read. But then, that would also mean that people 'reading' languages such as Chinese do not know how to read either, because you either recognize the Chinese character(s) or you don't.
Having said that, we've found that the more a child is exposed to words (even if they are merely memorizing the words at first), they figure out the phonics rules for themselves intuitively and very quickly.

It's like showing a kid a picture of a ball and they then say 'ball' when they see it. It's not that you've taught them to read, you've taught them to recognise a picture or word and what sounding word or action i associated with it. It's a start and a very well done to you! :)
If your definition of reading is phonetical reading, then yes, you are correct. The video shows "whole word" or "sight" reading. Babies start of reading that way and progress to reading phonetically (by intuiting the phonics rules) over time. Read up about the Whole Words vs Phonics debate on the BrillBaby site.
