Post 5

I do not think that holding flashcards in front of an infant is a good idea. The baby needs to learn how to talk before the parents start trying to have the baby trying to learn to read. Showing the child flashcards might not hurt them but I do not think they would be helpful for the child.Piaget would not agree with this flashcard idea either. He thinks that they learn by observing and trying.

  1. I agree, I think that infants first need to hear someone else talk before that can even attempt reading words.

  2. I agree that showing an infant flash cards would not benefit them and I also think that it is a good idea for the child to learn how to talk from hearing other people before being expected to prounce words on their own.
