The teaching methods for literacy?
I bought a set of rubber stamps with letters to help teach my 2 year old to read / write any other ideas .... ......
First off, I know it's tempting to start early, but the best we can do is concentrate on building the skills needed for reading. Press too early and may have real problems - as the son of a friend who was speechless for a few years to prevent well-intentioned efforts to encourage their development. Nursery Rhymes are great to get them to listen to the spoken word, traditional singing games and counting. Memory can be improved by the type of games Pellman - show a couple of toys hidden in a cloth, and asked if he / she can remember what the toys were. At this age, you can only expect your child to remember a few and you should stick to what he / she can handle - not what you think your child should be able to - to the oldest. Reading for them is better. Ask if they can find different things on the page. Writing is far beyond a child this age because of cooperation hand eye coordination involved. Encourage the development of help you master the ability to use colored pencils, pencil to the celebration easier when the time comes. Reading also requires physical abilities beyond 2 years of age. All work is learning some type - but without direction and without direction it seems to you - and should be fun. The golden rule is to stop an activity that the minute a child begin to show signs of boredom, as twisting or desire to play with something a little more. Children also need time by as much as the rest of us. Results of the hot housing in adults crippled (believe me I know a few people damaged in this way) if no attention is paid to let his son evolve naturally. They need to develop emotionally as well as intellectually. You can not skip stages of development if they want a balanced human being, at the end of it.
