Using Flash Cards to Teach Your Baby to Read
When you begin to teach your baby to read you will probably use flash cards. I strongly recommend that you do not let your baby handle the flash cards. First of all, the flash cards are made of paper and if they are torn they can become a choking hazard to your baby. Also, once you let your baby handle the flash cards, you are no longer in control of the mini reading sessions. Third of all, you will not be able to move quickly through the cards and keep your sessions short and sweet.
In order to maintain control of your flash cards you can place your baby in a bouncer seat and stand in front of them with the cards. You can also place your baby in a high chair for your reading sessions. You may want to show your baby flash cards while they are lying on their back. You can hold the cards above them, out of their reach, so that grabbing of flash cards is not an issue.
Make sure you always present your materials in an environment that is peaceful and without distractions.
