I keep seeing Your Baby Can Read TV commercials and i'm always bothered by them.
Here's one, just as an example

I'm bothered because they seem to teach the kid to read by sight of the word and not by letter pronunciation.
This seems like it will hurt the kid later in their school years.
The teacher isn't going to care if the kid can name a word by sight.
To me, this seems like a bad method of teaching
What do you think ?
