Hmm. I have a 1990 edition of the How to Teach Your Baby to Read, in the second step it says " Once a child has acquired a basic reading vocabulary of single words he is now ready to put those words together to make couplets."(Doman,1990)
Before this Doman says to teach the baby words that are familiar to him. Groups of words that describe objects (such as chair, table , door, windown..etc things you would see around the house), Baby's possesions( truck, blanket, diaper, socks, cup, bottle, pillow,etc), foods, animals, actions ( drinking, eating, sleeping, walking, reading, creeping, etc).
Once you've taught those then you will need to teach color words, then you can begin couplets.
You would teach words like , red ball, orange fish, purple grape..etc.
After doing this then you would want to teach baby opposite words ( big , little, long, short, right, left, happy sad,,, etc).
HOpe that makes sense. But the book I have does not state how many words exactly to teach before introducing couplets.
My daughter knows a little more than 130 words right now and she is finished learning her color words and tomorrow I feel comfortable to start her on couplets. You may not need to have your baby read that many words but that's where I feel comfy starting my daughter at .
