I am aware of the methods of teaching tiny children to read; I do not think it is in the child’s best interest to teach them reading that young. I have read studies that have shown that when children are taught later, when their development is more mature, within a short time they read as well as those taught from toddlerhood.

Just my viewpoint from studying how to teach reading, and having taught about 15 kids how to read.

But you do not say WHY you think it is not in a child’s best interest to be taught to read when they are infants or toddlers.

You do not seem to even have an anecdote to back up that it is bad for kids to learn at a very young age.
