In addition to saying (but not recognizing) the numbers from 1 to 10 (in English and Spanish!), Elliot has also started learning some letters. He's known the letter O for some time now, in large part because of the big yellow cereal box that sits on the breakfast table. He can now recognize the letters E, D, U, and W, at least part of the time.

Posted by: Jessica at March 27, 2007 06:25 PMInteresting stuff. I recommend turning your captioning on the TV for kids programs. I got the idea from Oprah. My son (now 7) says he liked how the TV would "read to him using different voices." Cute! Anyway, he self taught himself how to read at age 4, and now reads at an 8th grade level. I 90% attribute this to the Noggin channel and captioning.
