Shichida Method - Books

[luckymommy1307]

Hi Jemjem,
U can refer to those I put start fr 2 yrs old. For e rest of the books did not state very clearly abt the method. U can refer to Trinity Papa's post earlier. It has alot of cross referencing and the actual details are not there. For me, a first time mom I really need methods that provide steps by steps so that I know I did not mess anything up. Fr my understanding is that 2 yrs old class they have speedreading, linking memory, ESP, multi languages... and alot of other things which I am not aware of unless I attend the lesson in future.

Thank you so much Luckymommy1307 for your time and contribution!! I am really appreciated the education plan. It is very useful for me anf for others, I am sure.

I also think that the child who start from Shichida method will have difficulty with GD method. It might bore them. I plan to appply Shichida method when she is older than 2 years old.

Frankly speaking, I hv just know Glenn Doman method and also Shichida method.(less than a month) So i feel very sorry and guilty for my eldest son whom I did not do anything to. Now he s 2.5 years old. After I know about GD. I bought the kit. It is really expensive for me but I have no time to waste. I have to look after 2 kids that s too busy to prepare materials. I start teaching him and also my daughter Math first. Just start Reading last week. According to GD method, i have to 21 sessions (Read 15+ Math 6) but I cannot. It s too much. So I do about 14 sessions per day. But still wonder is it gonna work? because I did not do what exactly the book say.

And I know the book "how smart is your baby" but wondering is it okay to use with my daughter who are 6 months old. Is it for the new-born?? (Maybe I need to raise this question in new topic) If it s applicable to 6 mo old. I m thinking about buying the book

Hi...
I have a book on Shichida Method but in Chinese. It was given by a friend. Frankly speaking, I have not even read it...bcos due to busy daily schedule.

Just a few tips for those new mothers. 
I have two sons. The older son, Shawn is 7 years old and younger son will be 3 yrs old in August.
 I started teaching Shawn alphabet when he was only 6 months old.  The first letter I taught him was letter "O"...then keep exposing him to all things including listening to music, showing all educational VCD etc...
I even made an effort to attend the Phonics programme so that I could teach my son.  When I looked back, I have no regrets because Shawn started to read at the age of 2 and half years old.  At the age of 5, he started reading encyclopedia.  He could absorb and digest every word he read.   It saved me a lot of time as he gets older as he could read books by himself and he could explain to me what he read. To make my story short.....start teaching your child whenever you have time. No need to wait until 2 years old or schooling age...If possible spend at least 30 mins everyday with your child ( one to one) playing & teaching your child. Though he may not be able to give response now but  I can assure you that you will not regret when you see the results later......Please don't underestimate your child's ability.

As for my younger son, I spent lesser time with him due to my busy schedule and also 2nd child, parents tend to more slacking..... .  However, due to my determination, at least I could see that my younger child at the age of 2 and half, he knows his alphabet and even the phonetic sound of the letters.  I could not compare him with my older son because it was my laziness for not guiding him at an earlier age.

Then start teaching your child now....will never be too late

Hi Ing,
U just do whatever u can, me even I am a stay home mom I can't commit to the GD sessions like other parents. I came to know abt SM when my son was 3 mths old, I spend my time read through whatever resources I can find on Shichida method but I did not proceed with anything as I am not clear. In Shichida's book he mentioned abt GD as well, and I spent alot of time looking for resources abt it as I didn't know both are available in Singapore. So silly of me right? And I finally decide to start on GD first and enroll my son to the Shichida school to learn how to do home practise.

The reason been as mentioned in the GD books we need to prepare our material in advance so that I won't feel stress up. But now when LR n LM and so many free downloads u don't have to worry so much. All u need to do is see which one more suitable and start flashing. And u don't have to wait till your child is 2 yrs old to start SM as u can add in more activities when u r more settle w your current routine.

Wow u are a super mom, how u manage w 14 sessions? I can't!!! I am lazy also... I do 3 sessions of physical flash cards, 3 sessions of slideshows or LR. 3 sessions of educational dvd ( all very short period) and 3 sessions of reading books. And the rest of the time listen to music and playtime. I don't know how to organize to 14 sessions. I do the flash cards back to back. And not everyday I am able to cover 3 sessions.

I am using Tweedle wink dvd also. They are very good and it is right brain training as well. U might want to get them as well.

The how smart is your baby book is great! It starts fr new born, applicable to your 6mth old child.

Hi Angmei....What a genius boy!! Reading encyclopedia at vey young age!! Thanks for your suggestions. As you said, about playing  and teaching the child 30 minutes, could you give some examples what to teach the kid during that time? Teaching anything he s interested in, right? You did not mean GD method or Shichida method ,did you? And I understand what you said about laziness with the second child. You know i have tons of my eldest son photo but have very little for my daughter. I am too lazy to take the photo all the time(unlike my first son) ha ha

Big thanks Lucky mommy1302. I know that Singapore is the good place to find all everything about educational things, even the decent schools!! Actually the GD cards i used now, it is originally came from Singapore.

About SM, I just think that Shichida has lots of picture while GD doesnot have. SO If kids do Shichida, It s likely that they will refuse the GD method which has only words, no pictures. What do you think about this??

All I do now is physical paper card only. I try to keep the schedule 14 sessions. But at the weekend, I cannot do that because I think I better take my kids to play and learn outside. Like going to zoo, aquarium, museum…or even the playground.
Well, 14 sessions for me is quite tough though. Imagine, I have to do 14 sessions for each kid. It is totlly 28 sessions. I did it! I even do it in the car (only when he is happy). I think you have ever heard about the traffic in Bangkok. I have to go out everyday to send and pick my son at a preschool. Normally, with his good mood, I can do at least 4 sessions in the car in his carseat. And the rest, I do it at home. Anyway, I am thinking aout cut down the sessions or do it back to back.

I hv just know about LR and LM from this site but i am not sure how to use it or what the program look like. Is there any photo in LR? It s interesting. I also look for the info on Tweedle Wink but I am not sure if I can afford the Tweeedle Wink. I am thinking about it

[luckymommy1307]

Hello everyone,

If you want a step by step guide for Shichida, a good book to get is "Quantum Speed Reading: Awakening Your Child's Mind" by Yumiko Tobitani. Alternatively, try to get your hands on a copy of the Shichida Parents Handbook which gives you the step by step. Because both are difficult to get, I have them written out here:

http://www.figur8.net/quantum-speed-reading-practice-program-for-children/
http://www.figur8.net/quantum-speed-reading-practice-program-for-adults/
http://www.figur8.net/right-brain-training-home-practice-guide/

I also have the Shichida books from Japan and I agree, it is difficult to extrapolate what you need to do with your child unless you have actually been to the classes. Probably the fundamental lesson to take away from those books is the connection - right brain development/relationship/love. The links above share with you the activities you need to do with your child, but without focussing on your relationship with your child, the practice will not be effective.

If you need further clarification, just let me know and I will try to answer you to the best of my understanding.

hi shenLi, thanks for your links. can i ask, is tweedle wink an alternative to shichida?

what's the difference btw tweedle wink, wink to learn and brainy baby, in terms of methods or approach? thanks!!

[ShenLi]

Hi dna,

TW is not really an alternative to Shichida. They incorporate right brain activities into their program, so it is a good program to do, but if you want to fully develop your child's right brain, I still think it is important to follow Shichida's home practice activities. Ideally, the best is if you can send your child for right brain classes. If there aren't any right brain classes where you live, you can do the Wink program at home or follow the right brain training home practice guide I posted the link to.

TW is both a DVD program and a early childhood development class. I'm assuming you are referring to the DVD? The difference between TW DVD and Wink to Learn is that Wink to Learn is specifically about one subject. For instance, it might be a language. They show series of flash cards - words and images at normal speed and fast speed. You can elect to have the pictures and words, pictures only, or words only. The TW DVD is a more complete program because they do eye training, music, math, reading, science, art, speed reading, vocabulary expansion, etc. They also focus on building your relationship with your child - which is a key part of right brain education.

I cannot comment on Brainy Baby because I don't have their DVDs.

Hope that helps.
