Reading to young children improves language and cognitive development
English-speaking mothers who begin reading to their children at a very early age have toddlers with greater language comprehension, larger, more expressive vocabularies and higher cognitive scores by the age of 2.
Meanwhile, Spanish-speaking mothers who read to their children every day have 3-year-olds with greater language and cognitive development than those who aren’t read to. These results, based on research from researcher at the universities of Nebraska-Lincoln, Iowa State, New York, Columbia and Harvard, and from Mathematica Policy Research, Inc., are published in the July/August 2006 issue of the journal Child Development.
The researchers chose their focus because while numerous studies have shown connections between parental reading to preschoolers and children’s language development in low-income families, there has been surprisingly little research of low-income children below the age of 3. Yet this is a very important period for the language development required for later reading success.

A Review of Your Baby Can Read!
Review Of Your Baby Can Read DVD Early Language Development System
By Dee Matthews
As an experienced parent of 3 children, ages 20, 16 and 2, I am naturally cynical about any product that makes a claim as extravagant as teaching your baby to read. I taught preschool for more than 15 years and believed that children learn to read by being read to, and by learning phonics when they enter public school at age 5 or 6.
