Your Baby Can Read-----Helpful For Your Children

My son has watched these videos of Your baby can read during lunchtime since he was three months old. he is 13 months old now and can recognize 25-50 words in print. he is best with verbs like: clap, wave, point, arms up, jump, etc. I can write these words clearly on paper, or type them in large font in MS Word, and he will immediately respond. We have also reinforced the videos with occasional flashcards (a few times a week). More often than not the flashcards lay in a pile on the floor and he enjoys rifling through them. We also read books to him, and he has developed a huge love of books. These days, he loves to wander around the house with one in his hand, occasionally plopping down to flip the pages. He doesn't read the books of course, but he will sometimes act out or sign the words he recognizes. If he continues on his current track, I have no doubt he will actually be reading within a year. One other piece that has helped us be successful with these videos is that our son does not watch much other television. We've tried to shield him from fast-action cartoons and commercials. When he was younger, we didn't let him see anything more exciting that Charlie Rose and these videos . My personal opinion is that lightning-fast camera cuts program impressionable brains in an undesirable fashion. Our son still loves his videos. He dances and squeals at the opening music. He especially loves the songs, and he acts out many of the words. That said, I think he is advancing beyond these videos . I'll be looking for something to take her to the next level (sentences). If nothing can be found, there is always Microsoft Word and PowerPoint! I would not call my child gifted. I think most children can learn to read at a very young age, given the right circumstances. These videos can be part of those circumstances. I also believe the same results can be achieved with flash cards (or sitting in front of a word processor on the computer) and a dedicated adult. These videos made the process a bit easier for us!
