Critical Thinking
Your Baby Can Read. From yourbabycanread.com
"A baby's brain thrives on stimulation and develops at a phenomenal pace...nearly 90% during the first five years of life! The best and easiest time to learn a language is during the infant and toddler years...when the brain is creating thousands of synapses, or connections, allowing a child to learn both the written word and spoken word simultaneously.
Seize this small window of opportunity to enhance your child's learning ability with the Your Baby Can Read! Early Language Development System.

Benefits of Early Literacy
According to Your Baby Can Read! developer Dr. Robert Titzer, the current practice of starting to teach reading in school is too late. When children develop reading skills during their natural window of opportunity, from about birth to age four, they read better and are more likely to enjoy it.
In fact, studies prove that the earlier a child learns to read, the better they perform in school and later in life. Early readers have more self-esteem and are more likely to stay in school. Meanwhile, a national panel of reading specialists and educators determined that most of the nation's reading problems could be eliminated if children began reading earlier."

Explanation / Answer

a.That early reading can be beneficial to the child`s overall development.

b.When the child starts early reading then he reads better and is more likely to enjoy it not only in the early ages but also in the school.

c.It can be said that while a child is engaged in other activities from birth to age 3 ,he should specifically be engaged into reading habbit so that he might improve his skills and enjoy his stay in the school when compared to his fellows who were not engaged in early reading.

d.Because a young child is very active ,he is keen to explore everything what comes in his way.Thus it is the best time to make him encounter with the language skills as he would take it as a challenege and try to explore it and in the whole process eventually he would be the early learner as well.

e.No,i dont think they have managed the threshold to convince a scientific thinker as more experiments have to be done to prove this point.Also most of the peope think that early learning may create a kind of burden on small childs which would hamper their literary skills later in the life.This idea is deep rooted in many so it needs to be taken care of.
