We've looked around quite a bit for advanced early infant learning and pre-school materials & methods, and ran across this, something we overlooked:

I don't know why the parents pretend they didn't teach this child to read when both of them are speech therapists and they acknowledge teaching sign language from "day 1". She also watched a sign language show, and the show had a quick-cut of them teaching children how to sign the letter "B". So they "didn't teach her how to read" only in the sense that they taught her the American Sign Language alphabet, how letters look and sound, how they form words - no actual reading instruction lol.
Nevertheless we're advocates of early infant learning, especially reading, so although we missed this opportunity I think it makes sense. Here's the Mayo Clinic weighing in on it:

There are commercial baby sign language packages out there pretty cheap, Mayo is pointing out that basing even your own on the American Sign Language - it's going to get good results, or if you have a learning disabilities problem it can be a breakthrough for communication.
One of the reasons this works is that the instant a baby realizes it has the power of communication, that new words can be learned by asking, it gives birth to the Dawn of Active Thought. There is a locomotor component to this too, one we knew about. It had spectacular results for us. But this really looks like something I would have liked to have known about.
