As a teacher I know that if a child struggles with reading in school it is a handicap to learning and it affects a child's self esteem and confidence. Thirty percent of all children have problems of differing severity. Don't let your baby be one of those who struggle.
Did you know that the sound patterns of a baby's cry matches the sound patterns of it's mothers voice. Amazing! As soon as a baby can hear in the womb it is listening to its mothers voice. That is why baby's prefer the sound of their native language to any other right after birth!
The skills needed to be able to read are a general intelligence and learning ability. After that, reading well involves auditory and visual skills and the ability to concentrate and focus. It is possible, and not only that, but essential to teach reading through pre-reading skills to baby from day one. So what can you do as a parent to make sure your baby learn these? What are they?
All these skills are developed by simply talking to your baby, showing baby interesting things and describing them! It is easy.

Chat and tell stories, read books every day right from birth.Surround you baby with as much language in all its forms, as you can with stories, music, books, posters and wall pictures with the alphabet and interesting things. Sing to your baby all the time.
