research on infants that demonstrates even newborns can distinguish between
sounds such as 'b' and 'p'. If an infant has trouble distinguishing
between the sounds, we can help them learn this through nursery rhymes and
word play! </SPAN></FONT><FONT color=#0000ff face="Times New Roman"><SPAN
class=178462219-01042010>If you don't have time to view more than 3 minutes,
please note that the next video clip starts automatically. The
whole series of videos is 15-20 minutes. The rest of the series is quite
interesting and informative too, however focuses on older children and
reading/hearing problems such as dyslexia.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<H3>Baby's first reading skills</H3>
<P>Drs. Victoria and Dennis Molfese are starting even younger. In Louisville,
Kentucky they are studying speech perception in day old babies like Santana
Hamond — something that may be a key factor in determining a child's later
reading skills.</P></DIV><BR></DIV>
