I'd have to ask my mother for more specific details, but she taught me the alphabet (phonetically) by the time I was a year old, and started me on sight-reading, using flash cards of simple words. She made her own little readers for me with the words I had learned, and I remember having a collection of "Peter and Jane" ladybird readers, where you learn from 5 to 15 words for each new book. She also had a set of flash cards with consonant blends (starting with simple two-letter blends like bl, br, etc.) I'm currently using A-Beka's consonant blends flashcards for my 3 year old niece. I think two things that were key in my learning to read early were my mother's consistency, and my curiosity.

This is helpful info. I am teaching my three year old niece how to read, though it has been with some difficulty. Now I have a son of my own. He's four months old, and I realize how I need to start right away otherwise I may come up against similar road blocks as I did with my niece, since I kept waiting for her to be 'old enough'. TX!
