How old was you baby when it started saying words ? Info appreciated, thanks :O)?

2 and couple months

My daughter was about 11 months old when she said her first word, "cold," standing in front of the air conditioner, her father observing for her that it was "cold." Oh, she had said "dada" at about five months and "mama" sometime later. (You can see who was important.)

At about a year and a half, she started trying to learn labels for things, although at first everything was a "bee." A bee was a bee, and so were a bird and, I think, a boat.

When she was about two and a half, she started speaking in full-blown sentences. I think this may have been because I didn't really ever speak baby talk to her that I can remember. Before she started speaking in sentences, I had been talking to her for months as if she could understand me.

Oh, one other thing I did. Some schools don't use phonics anymore, which are the best way to teach the language and reading. So whenever we drove in a car, from about age three onward, we started learning the alphabet. She'd be sitting in the car seat, and first I think I must have gone through the alphabet with her and we had a chart with the alphabet on it at home. Then I started teaching her the sound each letter made. "A" makes "ah," or "ay." "B" makes "buh," etc. I don't remember if she was reading before she got to kindergarten ... they didn't use to want your child to read before he or she hit kindergarten because they wanted to teach them their own way. But in this day and age of some questionnable approaches at school, you might want to use your own judgment on that. Anyway, my daughter had the tools when she started school and knew how to sound out words. She's pretty good with English today.

Hope this helps a little bit. :)

Ehm..

The ability to read is vital for success. It helps your child succeed in school, helps them build self-confidence, and helps to motivate your child. Being able to read will help your child learn more about the world, understand directions on signs and posters, allow them to find reading as an entertainment, and help them gather information.

Learning to read is very different from learning to speak, and it does not happen all at once. There is a steady progression in the development of reading ability over time. The best time for children to start learning to read is at a very young age - even before they enter pre-school. Once a child is able to speak, they can begin developing basic reading skills. Very young children have a natural curiosity to learn about everything, and they are naturally intrigued by the printed texts they see, and are eager to learn about the sounds made by those letters. You will likely notice that your young child likes to look at books and thoroughly enjoys being read to. They will even pretend to behave like a reader by holding books and pretend to read them.
