thanks lzp11 for the input. It is definately nice to see domanbabies come back. It is true that you can't credit all the success to one program but every little bit helps and more importantly its parents progressive and continous involvement with their child throughout their education that helps a lot.
Ariel I completely agree with you. I hope I did not sound too negative about Doman - I try to be balanced and look at all sides / possibilities - but I do believe in the approach very much (hence I am here and working with my daughter using LR!). I I think I wanted to just emphasize that I believe it is so much more than the programme itself that is important. I believe that we as parents are the real key, in our attitudes and enthusiasm towards learning, and that this has as much, if not more value than individual techniques, particularly in how our children decide to use their new skills and knowledge. Programmes like LR, offer a great opportunity to talk and learn together with children, and I love this. Teaching to read is the first key step, but then of course sharing an interest in literature and knowledge that you can then gain through reading is how that translates to lifelong learning.
