I decided to do an ‘experiment’ on my first born son. What if the pre-reading skills were taught to a child before they could even talk? From about 6 months of age, I would take my son to the local library and ‘read’ stories to him. As I read to him, I clapped the syllables of words, I showed him rhyming words, I emphasised initial sounds, final sounds, middle sounds etc.
By thirteen months, he was clapping the word EX-CA-VA-TOR. At about 18 months he could tell me what a rhyming word was and he could generate his own. He could also tell me what sound a word began with and ended with etc. His vocabulary and language skills astounded people. By the age of 3 years old, his teacher said he was ready to read.
