okay I think I found it.
Is the software for both math and reading really 38.00 every month for 12 months?
That is a ton of money. Or am I reading it wrong and it is a one time fee?

Also if it is really that much can I hear from peeps who used it? Is it worth it?

Tons of people use it and love it, but why don't you take the free 14 day trial and see what you think? We also have a 40% off sale right now that will save you money.

Hi,

You can also see the testimonials and feedback that we collated from users here:

(you can follow the link to the actual forum posts they originally made).

btw, yes, $38 is for both Little Reader and Little Math. You can go for other cheaper options too.

Okay I purchased the bundle pack. After the twelve months of payments will I have access to everything still? We may have more kids and I would like to use in future but dont want to pay two times.

Off to download product now:)

I am glad you've got LR software, you've got lots of resources at your fingertips now...

For me it works great for a few reasons:

1) I am able to teach my little girl even when I do not have ANY time to prepare, Curriculum is great starting point for that, and it is great to have something that is already planned and thought through, she loves it too. When I am not Home my husband can pick up when I left of on the curriculum schedule and it works great that way

2) There are great resources created by other parents on VARIETY of topics, so when she is interested in particular topis, most of the time I was able to find something, and I did not have to create it myself, sometimes I do a little adjustment though, which is another good thing, that the program allows you to customise and change, for me it is one of the biggest pluses.

3) I am using LR to supplement other programs we are using, for example YBCR -- we use multisensory ( pictures and words) and word flash presentations to supplement YBCR videos, using the words that she is learning

4) She loves poems, but many of the ones that we have are not printed in the format the baby will be able to follow in the book. So I simply type them a line at the time, and then we read them together, she is able to listen and follow

5) One big plus for me is that I can create my own categories on different languages, I could not think of any other educational system out there, that allowes you so much customisation, and makes it possible to tailor to your childs individual needs.

In fact customisation was very important for me, when I was looking for educational system, to have something that can grow and expound with my child, something I would be able to use for years, and adopt it for using in different languages, for different subjects.

At the same time, regardless of my great goals and desires, I simply did not have time in the very beginning to create many of the categories or presentations on my own, and probably would have been discouraged not being able to live to my hopes and expectations, and that is when curriculum carried me through. And now I am able to add some more here and there. This works great for me.

Hope this was helpful, as far as different ideas and ways to use your new programs!

Thank you so much
It was very helpful.

I wish I could get YBCR but at the moment it is way too much money for me.

If you dont mind me asking what others besides that one do you use?

We read books

Poems

I use action songs in different languages, and we do the words from those songs

We dont do YBCR that much, little bit, in a way it just reinforces LR, so in my opinion if you can not get it, it is not that big of a deal

We do perfect pitch training,  and musical training, in and we use LR category on musical instruments, and I am working on some more categories to help me with those programs

We use Little Pim and a few other programs for Chinese

We use local Russian Programs for Russian and reinforce them with LR files...

With Spanish for now we just have some Spanish children music vidos and picture facts from those videos -- Kiddie Viddies, and I am planning to pull some key words from the songs to create LR category ( just will need someone's help to do the talking, as I am not a spanish speaker)

WE do Baby Signing time for Baby signs, just started actually and we have a few categories with signs in LR for review that were done by Pupisek, she loves those, we adapted them a little bit, with my husband's voice, so that makes it more special for my baby...

On the overall, we just use whichever materials we have, and then supplement those materials with different learning techniques to make it fun

My daughter loves short videos that introduce animals, you can find them in the LR downloads, I think they are from Sheebery, and then we made paper flashcards with the same animals and have a few books about animals, and that makes for a fun activity...
