5 Ways to Encourage Your Baby to Read
Why think about ways to encourage your baby to read when you have just given birth to him? Why not just look forward to saying "My baby can read" someday? It will be more exciting.
As a first-time mom, your excitement to everything about your baby is expected. However, you also have to dwell on so many serious things about your baby. This especially concerns the development of his mental abilities, which include speaking and reading.
Yes, even if he is still in your womb, you have to think about how to teach your baby to read. You have to make sure that your statement "My baby can read" will possibly happen. How? You have to teach your baby to read. But, as mentioned earlier, you have to encourage him first. Here are five ways:
1. Make your 'reading class' easy on him. Babies may be easy learners, but hey, do not attempt to put too much information on his brain. If you think a word or three a day is enough to fill up his brain, do so.
2. Buy him reading materials. If you fill his room with books and other reading materials, it is pretty sure that he will get curious with them and will start to do what is necessary on them. In no time, you can claim "my baby can read".
3. Be creative. Initially, do not make it appear that you are actually teaching him. Let him think that the two of you are playing. For example, scatter three to five letters on the floor. Ask him to point or bring to you a specific letter fast and he will be rewarded.
4. Read him books. As you do this, make sure that you are showing him the letters of each word. Read it over and over again and in no time, he will be able to recognize, as well as read, each word. Now, you have the right to say "My baby can read".
5. Sing songs. Because songs never fail to excite babies, this will highly encourage your baby to read. Buy CDs with children's songs, but make sure these have lyrics.
The word "someday", if you will allow it, may be too long a time to expect your baby to read and to anticipate yourself to say "My baby can read". Before you know it, you are already late attending to the mental development of your child. Do not allow this to happen.
