What are some methods for teaching a baby to read?

Methods of teaching a baby to read include using repetition by pointing to words and pronouncing the word at least six times and using flash cards to represent the word and an image of the word. Animated software and DVDs can also help expose babies to words.

Additional methods to teach a baby to read include using personalized videos or books that help the baby identify words with the pronunciation. Parents can create an audio recording of the book and help the baby to follow along with the words to recognize word combinations while sounding out the words of the book.
