I agree with laundry mom babies need to drool and coo and snuggle on my lap. My youngest is in kindergarten and is doing the sight words I love seeing her face light up when she sees those words in the books we read just like my dcbs face lit up when he learned he can make really cool vibrating noise with his mouth on the side of my cheek. He is 9 months. Point being he wouldnt have the same reaction with looking at a card saying a word at least in my opinion.
i think on top of parents having bragging rights....they think their kids will be far ahead in school and teachers will be impressed. they will NOT! there is NO expectation for kids to be able to read when they come to school.

i'd love to see "newtodaycare's" opinion on this.
