Don't you teach kids to read by teaching the alphabet and all their sounds and THEN putting them together? I guess I should get the book, I have no clue how to teach a kid who doesn't know the alphabet how to read!!! Candace P.S. The poor first kids are always the "test dummies" : ) - Lisa Belcher herbal remedies Thursday, May 20, 2004 2:26 AM Re: Herbal Remedies - Some one throw cold water on me before i BLOW! Hi Candace, I suggest then you read his book: "Teach your baby to read" by Glenn Doman. You can find it on Amazon. What he says makes sense, so I guess it works. His basic is that children that young, cannot distinguish one letter/word from another - can't see the difference between them - in the size of the writing that adults read. With children/babies that young, you need to present BIG letters, and he gives the sizes in the book, and gradually reduce the size of the letters/words as they start learning to read. He also recommends to teach them to read WORDS and sentences, before teaching them the alphabet - reason for that being that kids who learn the alphabet first, will then read the letters, and not the words! And it's true!! I noticed that with my son Jamie, whom I did try to teach the alphabet first. Anyhow, read the book LOL and see what you think. I totally know what you mean about the no-attention!! I've noticed that with my son too, and it shows they really do pay attention, but perhaps not in the way we think of it LOL love LisaFederal Law requires that we warn you of the following: 1.
