sveta, I would definitely encourage you to teach your baby to read in Russian. I can't tell you how rewarding it is to see my daughter learn to read in my native language, especially since there are a lot of Chinese poetry, literature, and even martial arts fiction books (think: Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) that I really enjoyed reading and would like to eventually share with her when she grows up! biggrin
Thank you, aangeles. I never thought that far ahead but you made a very good point. And the link you gave is very helpful. Gonna take a closer look at this website. Sorry, cannot give you any Karma yet, need to wait untill I have more posts.
Laralinn, do you talk Russian to him or use programmes like LR alone? My baby is 21 months, I did some of free LR that the members of this forum created (untill our free trial expired). It was enough for her to recognize some Russian words from the screen ( I talk Russian to her since the day she was born, so those words were familiar to her). She is doing well with English reading too. It is hard for her to sit still and actually read a book, but she can read one sentence here and one sentence there. I'm very inspired by Ella and her mom and tomorrow gonna start my Power Point in Russian.
