Questions about LR and library downloads

[oasis]

Hi,
I have just learned about BrillKids. I tried to see what downloadable flashcards from the library look like. I tried several files with .cat extension and I cannot open those files on my computer. I get the following message:"this file is invalid for use as the following: Security Catalog." What software do I need to view the files and where can I get it?
Thank you!

Hi Oasis!

The Library files with a *.cat extension are meant to be opened with the Little Reader software. The BrillKids Library has dedicated sections for each BrillKids software (Little Reader, Little Math and Little Musician), and any file that's under one of the three BrillKids software categories will only work with the corresponding software.

In case you haven't done a Little Reader free trial yet, you may want to check it out so you can try the *.cat files you dowloaded in the trial software. You may refer to this article for instructions on how to get the Little Reader free trial:

If you are looking for lesson or activity sheet files that are in non-BrillKids software format, we do have free-format files under the "Free Downloads" section. Most of the files there are in pdf or ppt formats.

One more question. My son is 11 months old. Should I try BrillBaby or BrillKids?
Thanks

Yes, I have another question, please. I have read that it is possible to print out flashcards instead of using ppt's. Can I print out only words or corresponding pictures as well?
Thanks a lot.

I do not know about Power Point Presentations, hope someone else would chime in here. But if you are using Little Reader program, you can easily print out physical flash card fr every lesson that is prepared there for you. Simply chose the print option on the control panel.

And when you print the flashcards out you can chose the lay out that would work best for you, yes it will be words with the pictures!
