Flash Card Application to teach babies and children to read

All babies are Einstein’s when it comes to reading. Babies have an advantage over the rest of us. They have a rapidly developing brain. This allows them to effortlessly learn and absorb mass amounts of information, all before their 5th birthday. Research shows that babies can start learning to read as early as 3 months old. The experts refer to this period of intense brain development as a “Critical Period” or a “Window of Opportunity”. That simply means that during this period of time, it is considered the ideal time to introduce certain things. Skills, such as learning to read, are acquired with the least amount of effort during these periods.

The brain grows through use. By stimulating your baby you are growing and strengthening the brain and its connections, called synapses. These are all very important in the development of your child’s intellect. We can do this by providing rich, stimulating environments for our babies. We can expose them to foreign languages and sign language.

This flash card method was first introduced to brain injured children by Glenn Doman to help stimulate and heal the brain injury. The result was brilliant, most have acquired the ability to read, some becomes fast readers, who can read much faster than most normal adults.
