LOVE THEM!!

I have been doing flash cards with my son (home-made ones) when I came across your site. He finds the downloads so much more exciting, particularly the ones with the sounds.

Keep them coming, they're brilliant!!

I feel the same Katiejo, I was making flash cards for my younger son too and I must admit that sometimes the hard work of assembling them was a little frustrating!  :blindfold:  It's a good thing that I was able to see the free downloads here - I'm very happy that they're free, because these will make a big difference!

I have spent $$$ on infant stimulation cards before and I am a little regretful that I only saw this website now.  But since my little boy is big enough for the flash card slideshows I am going to show them to him first thing in the morning!

Well, my almost 10 month old was very excited about seeing the animals on our computer screen this a.m., but he was so distracted by wanting to touch the keyboard.  I have been reading more on the website about how I can convert the files to a slideshow that he could view on the T.V. and think that will work quite well (as soon as I can figure out how to do it!).  My other question is... would there be a way for the child to advance to the next screen by touching anything on the keyboard (without navigating away from the Little Reader program? I know nothing about computer programming - so I may be asking a very naive question - if so, I apologize!)

I have another question regarding the program overall... that is, how does one make decisions about whether the child is gaining awareness/knowledge of the words being presented?  Is there a certain number of times you are to present the word lists?  Do you have specific tasks that parents are supposed to do after the presentations?  This info may already be on the website, and I just haven't come across it yet...just curious. 

Overall, I really am enjoying the quality of the downloads and am hoping to explore it more with my little guy tomorrow!
Thanks for all of your efforts!

I was kind of wondering about the same things. Like how much time should you spend a day or how many times a day? How many sets should you do a day or sitting? Is it up to the child's attention span or should it be kept brief and simple? I guess some general guidelines would be helpful.

I have two kids. My oldest child has been looking at flash cards since she was 20 months old and now this site.  She loves the program and says the words when they are on the screen now.  She also points out the animals and shapes when she sees them on TV or in books.  I showed her the words without the pictures and she is still able to identify them.  This is very cool.  My younger child is only 10 months old.  I show him the material too.  I know when he gets older it will click and he will probably get it even faster then my daughter!

Well, a new feature in the upcoming build (targeted for some time next week) is the (optional) deactivation of the keyboard and mouse (except for the ESC key to stop) when you put it onto Auto-forward mode, so no matter how hard your little one bangs on the keyboard, it will still carry on playing, uninterrupted.  Not sure if it's a good idea to let the child control the pace of the playback by banging on the keyboard, cos I think your lessons would end very quickly each time!

There really is no hard and fast rule for the frequency in showing your child.  My advice is always the same - take your cue from your child.  Typically, I myself did it twice a day, for most days.  Sometimes we would get through many categories (cos my daughter would complain when I stopped), and others I would do less as soon as I felt her attention was not there.

Glenn Doman recommends that you try to stop it BEFORE your child's attention span ends, so that he will yearn for the next session more.  We tried to do it sometimes, but more often than not we went to the point of her showing not as much enthusiasm, and we would stop immediately.  But many times, though, our daughter would devour through about 4-5 sets of words (and each set was about 10-15 words) when we would then put a stop even though she still wanted more.

I would typically repeat some categories each day, but slowly phase out one in place of another new one.  But we always had a 'favorite' that we would show our daughter more often than others, and they included "Daddy" and "Mommy." smile
