Can your baby read Wuthering Heights?

Not much to report today. Associated Content wonders:

Have you seen the commercials for the "Your Baby Can Read" program? Am I the only one who's creeped out by the three-month-old baby "reading" the flash cards? And the three-year-old girl reading aloud from a book that looks suspiciously like Wuthering Heights?! Am I a bad parent because I didn't teach my babies how to read before they could walk or speak? (Maria Roth)

If this is the commercial in question and the girl meant shows up about 3:13 into the video then we don't think it's Wuthering Heights but might be A Christmas Carol (?). The problem with teaching such small children to read when they can barely speak is that probably only their parents can really understand what they are reading.

Anyway, these oh-so-precocious children's parents and some teachers out there might find this Wuthering Heights resource created by The Times Educational Supplement useful. It can only be seen after logging in, though.

Wuthering Heights on the blogosphere: Wordarts posts about the 1939 film version and Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before about the 2009 adaptation. The Gilmore Book Marathon says that Wuthering Heights is mentioned on episode 10 of season 4 (which we included in our Gilmore Girls & Brontë roundup years ago among other Brontë references in the show). YouTube user SpiritKeeper reads Emily Brontë's poem Hope. Echostains Blog has watched The Tenant of Wildfell Hall 1996. And something we don't see much often, if ever: Gypsyscarlett’s Weblog has a post on Maria Brontë, the eldest Brontë sibling.
