It's possible. I've read laudatory things from some parents. But does your infant really need to read?? Or do you just want to brag about what a good parent you are because your child is reading earlier than other kids? There's a risk that too early academics will burn a child out by early elementary school. Give your child time to play and just be a kid. You'll be astonished at what she learns all by herself, and with no pressure from you. I'd also recommend reading "Einstein Never Used Flash Cards" by Golinkoff, Hirsh-Pasek, and Eyer. It's a great book!
From my experience: we just read books to our children. Our oldest is likely to start reading at age 3, just because he loves being read to and has a sharp memory. He knows all of his letters and his first 10 numbers, but that's just from playing with blocks and fridge magnets and reading many different books. Our second child doesn't seem very interested in reading, and actually would scream and fuss if I tried reading to him in early infancy (as I'd read to his brother); so he generally gets story time with his older brother, and tends to prefer social interaction and audio/visual entertainment to books. He'll likely start talking sooner and reading later. That's just personality. So, don't worry about teaching your child to "read" at 8 months - it will happen in its own time, and when she's ready for it, and if there is any benefit to early reading, it all evens out by 1st grade anyway, so it's not like you're giving her an "edge." She'll love reading if YOU love reading, and if you read to her often, and that will be enough. :)
