Corgan can read. She's 16 months old and she can read. She's brilliant.
Okay, so she's not actually reading, but how cute was that! She was reading Goodnight Moon to her Dada and she was making the 'hush' sound the Old Lady says. She really is a bookworm, though. I was raised as a reader, so I'm determined to raise children who love to read, and we're well on our way.
As early as 6 months her bedtime routine included reading books, and now she's totally addicted. She'll happily sit at her bookshelf 'reading' books to herself. She also likes to 'read' to herself in her crib before nap time. If you leave a book in there with her, you can hear her 'reading' over the monitor. Talk about cute!
Really though, she already has some letter recognition. She can pick out the letters 'O' and 'A' almost every time, and she's getting pretty good at finding 'E', too. I great by-product of her always wanting to read is that Stuart is finally getting to read a bunch of classic children's books. He is not and was not a bookworm. Reading is not his thing. Now he gets to read with her (which he loves), and is learning to appreciate the stories and the fun that can be had from reading a book. Who knows? Maybe I can raise my husband to be a bookworm, too.
How cute! Corgan does like her books :) Stuart actually liked to read a lot when he was very young. We read all the children's classics, he loved Disney books and Little Golden Books too! In my pile of pictures, somewhere there is a cute picture of Stuart reading a bedtime story to Philip. Stuart was actually much more into imaginary outdoor play. He lived in Zeldaland (in his mind)!!! I think you can tell he has a vivid imagination from his blogs ;)
i just read an interesting book called Proust and The Squid that's about the neurological process of learning to read, and it spends a lot of time talking about the processes and pathways that children develop when learning to read, and how important it is for other cognitive development later in life. looks like your kiddo is off to a great start.
