I'm going to post the following review of several books and flashcard sets on Amazon:

"I bought these for my embryo and read them every morning and night but when she was born she was unable to speak, let alone read, and we had to use [randomly selected set in the same category] to teach her to read. Now she is two and loves to read what she calls her "baby books" but most of her reading is other MORE MATURE AND CHALLENGING texts YOU THICKOS."

It'll fit right in.

(We're leaning towards Peter and Jane, because they are small and cheap).

Ooh ooh ooh, I've just remembered we had flashcards! They came in a flat red box with a black border. I don't know if anyone 'taught' me using them, but I could read well before I started school.

I had completely forgotten those :) Hurray!

Also (memory stirred because they were in a similar box) we had Cuisenaire rods. All very Montessori. (I only went for a term, my brothers for longer.) Yay early memories!

Cuisenaire rods are bog-standard teaching tools over here. Nothin' Montessori about them at all.
