Teaching babies to read

Notes from How To Teach Your Baby To Read by Glenn and Janet Donan

• Don’t bore them. Testing bores them. Children love to learn but they don’t live to be tested. If you repeat too often a test that he already has passed, he will become bored and will tell you he doesn’t know or give you an absurd answer.
• “If the child doesn’t want to play at any time during the learning process, put the whole thing away for a week or so.” The same applies to adults.
