For those who don't know, it is easier to teach your child to read early on in his life (from the ages of zero to three), than later! Many experts suggest that by teaching your child to read before they begin formal education, they will find school-based education easier from the get-go as they will not have to learn reading skills at the same time that they have to comprehend curriculum material.

Providing your child with the best possible skills and education always sounds good on paper, but as we parents know, the reality is always much harder to achieve. Experts are always feeding us information that seems gimmicky, or intuitive, or counter-intuitive; how can we know which method is more effective?

But why use sign language to communicate with a child who can hear - and is learning to speak anyway?

The whole idea behind early childhood education is the fact that babies and young children are capable of and actually like learning. Today let's look at three of these products - Little Reader, Your Baby Can Read, and Glenn Doman Flash Cards.

Like many people all over the world, your first impression may be one of skepticism. But what they don't realize is, teaching their baby reading is actually very possible - in fact, it is both faster and easier earlier in life than later, because your baby's cognitive development is strongest in the first three years of life!
