Baby Reading at 17 Months
Xervier has Down Syndrome. He has been learning sign language from birth and reading from 4 months of age. He used his first sign (“milk”) at 13 months of age and read his first word (“drinking”) at 14 months of age.

wow, this is amazing! Well done parents. We read daily to our little girl (7 mo old with Downs) and she loves it. This is truly inspirational to those of us who are yet to experience what you have seen. great job!
Wow that was so amazing!!! And such a cutie………. Xervier is inspirational!! parents need a big pat on the back when they are as devoted as you.
awe he is cute!
It is so fantastic. Thank you for posting! Your little boy is very bright and so cute. It’s so nice to see a parent showing so much pride in their child.
He is GREAT!
)))
he’s good and you ‘re good job..
what a little smartie
this is truly amazing, Xervier is blessed to have this program and a loving family.
keep up the good work
good work
My son is hearing impaired and after surgery has also benefitied from this program. But what a fantastic clip this is, Xervier is inspirational- well done for your hard work in this, parents need a big pat on the back when they are as devoted as you. My only gripe with the Baby Can read Program is the lack of translation from American. OK diaper is nappy on 1 set of cards but we have to hear diaper and Zeeebra elsewhere. Wish they made an english or aussie version. Cheers
Wow that is so amazing! My daughter and her husband are adopting a baby girl with DS as soon as she is born in July, so I will be a new gramma! We were just talking today about how we want to use a similar program called Your Baby can read with her just as soon as we can. We are so excited and your video gives us great hope and new resolve to give her the very best we can. Thank you so much!
he is so cute!
what a cutie
?
he is sooooo cute!!
“inner construction of coherence” is a great way to put it (though I had to stop and think for a moment what it meant!). Thank you.

Adorable!
Especially the inner construction of the coherrence of “chimpanzee” and “gorilla”.
I don`t know ONE baby without DS, doing things like this!

This is fantastic parenting!
wow, thats unbelievable good work as parents
?
He is so cute and smart.
A real inspiration. Our boy of 2 has Down’s and we are going to try this starting today.
So Amazaing!! Truly each and every one of us are beautifully and wonderfully made. Xervier is truly remarkable, and kudos to his parents to take such pains to allow him to be all he can be. God bless.
what a cutie and so smart too!!! great job, keep up the good work xervier!
Just so you know… we, with children with down syndrome, prefer to use the term, ‘typical’ in regards to chlldren without ds vs. the term “normal’. I would want to know what term to use if I was on the other end…. so I thought I’d share as well as fill in all readers on this. Thanks,.
THAT BABY IS ADORABLE AND SOOOO SMART!!!!!! ♥
