I was having fun while learning whileand listening to his voice (which sounded a bit high-pitched, by the way).

The teacher wrote down some syllables and pronounced them.

I wrote them down and repeated after him.

In that moment, I never thought that I was incorrectly learning wrong how to read in Japanese.

When I was in kKindergarten, I learned the vowels and the consonants.

Then, I learned some words and then finally how to read them out loud, but is that the best way to learn how to read?

He wrote a book called "How to tTeach yYour bBaby to rRead" in which he explains his method.

I collected some useful information from this book to create this journal.

We don't fully understand them so, in order to remember them, we associate them with words.

What meantdoes that word mean?

That's why learning the alphabet or syllables at first makes reading comprehension even harder.

At first, give yourself 10 seconds to watch each word.

Start by reading common words including parts of the body and these following these phrases.

This is a bad habit we learn as a kids and it slows your reading speed as well as your comprehension.

And now you may ask, "hHow can I use this?

How to Read in your Target Language.

It was in the morning and, just like as usual, I was taking notes in my notebook.

I was having fun learning while listening to his voice (which sounded a bit high-pitched by the way).

Whose voice?

The teacher wrote down some syllables and pronounced them.

Should it be words here rather than syllables?

I wrote them down and repeated them after him.

InAt that moment, I never thought I was learning wrong how to read in Japanese incorrectly.

Glenn Doman was a physical therapyist who worked with children with cerebral injuries.

He wrote a book called, "How to teach your baby to read" in which he explains his method.

Back to Glenn Doman's book, he mentions how to use his method:.

At first, give yourself 10 second to watchlook at each word.

Once you've identified them, watchlook at them for less than one second.

WTho'se learning how to read mustn't pronounce the words in order to stop sub-vocalization.

In a nutshell, sub-vocalization means repeating in your mind what you read.

This is a bad habit we learn as a kids and it slows down your reading speed as well as comprehension.

Kids is plural so no indefinite article.

And now you may ask, "hHow can I use this?"
