17-month old baby can read at a 7-year old level

Elizabeth Barrett, a 17-month-old baby, can read at a 7-year-old’s level. Her parents read to her ever since she was born, and she also learned sign language through “Signing Times” show, which her parents believe helped her learn to read.

Elizabeth seems to take great delight in reading, and in the delight and wonder of others around her. I found myself watching the video with a big smile on my face. I also really like that her parents read to her and play with her about reading, in what seems like a loving way; they weren’t pushing her to learn–just teaching a love of reading. You can read more about the story and watch the video here.
