Hello everybody!! How I wish I would have found you some years ago!! I have an 8 year-old girl who learnt to read at four-five, phonetically. Now I have 13 months old twins, a boy and a girl, and I started a month ago with Doman-like cards. We have also started quantity recognition with cards. But preparing the cards is really time consuming, so I'm just starting with LR, both in English and Spanish (we live in Spain).

I just wanted to tell you that all your comments are really inspiring and encouraging, I will closely follow this forum!!!

Hello NPLight!
How much fun it will be (and challenging!) to do EL with twins!
You have such a wonderful, unique opportunity ahead of you, and have found this forum at such a great age.  It is infinitely easier to use a program such as Little Reader than using homemade cards!
And I would imagine that time is an absolute premium at your house.
We will all be following your story , so keep us informed!
There are others here in Spain as well!

Hi Kerileanne99, you are completely right, there is not much time for anything at home, and I have a full time job, so you can imagine... But I'm determined to teach the twins, at least I will give them the chance!!
Thank you for your post!

Hola como estas! te escribo en espanol xque lei que vives en Espana.
Yo hablo espanol pero vivo en Italia y tambine tengo gemelos (Isa y Matias) de 15 meses
yotambien estoy empezando con LR ya que era muy difficil para mi crear las tarjetas, buscar imagenes etc etc...
a mis gemelos LR les encanta les he hecho ver solamente en ingles por ahora, poco a poco con un poco de tiempo y paciencia comenzare a crear las lecciones en italiano e espanol... no veo todabia resultados y esto me da un poco de ansia (quisiera almenos una senal de que lo estoy haciendo bien!)  pero x otra parte estoy segura que todo se queda grabado en esas cabecitas curiosas  yes  talvez es porque todas son palabras nuevas (ingles) que no las escuchan en la vida diaria que los resultados tardan...
cuntame como te va y estoy contenta de haber encontrado otra mama de gemelos casi casi de la misma edad  big grin

Hola Caroltwins! Sí, qué bien que podamos compartir experiencias aquí!! Yo todavía estoy pensando cómo organizarme para enseñar a mis niños (Pablo y Lucía)... He preguntado a la gente de Brillkids en UK y me dicen que a primeros del año que viene saldrá el pack de Little Reader en español. Así que lo que he pensado es utilizar Little Reader sólo en inglés hasta entonces, y después comprar el pack en español. Mientras tanto, estoy preparando powerpoints con palabras+imágenes en castellano, a ver si consigo que les gusten. Creo que tanto ellos como yo estamos cansados de las tarjetas!
Voy a probar los power points con los niños, a ver qué tal, y si quieres te puedo ir enviando algunos, a ver si a los tuyos les gustan!
Sobre los resultados... pues sí, creo que es la duda que tenemos todas por aquí... yo intento no probarles (al menos no mucho!) y confiar en que están aprendiendo. Sin embargo, alguna vez que les he pedido que escojan entre dos tarjetas lo han hecho bien. Incluso entre 5 tarjetas han encontrado la correcta. Pero sobre todo con la niña veo que no le gusta que le pregunte, así que lo evito al máximo.
Con el inglés acabamos de empezar (3 días!), pero ayer les dije en inglés "can you point?, how do you point?", y la niña hizo el gesto correctamente! Así que nada, esto es una carrera de fondo, hay que seguir adelante todos los días y confiar en ellos!!!
Bueno, seguimos en contacto, mucho ánimo con tus niños y hasta pronto!!!

Hola ! que lindo saber que finalmente haran LR en version espanol  yes

creo que yo tambien seguire tu consejo esperare hasta que salga la version en espanol el ano proximo !
te agradeceria mucho si me pudieras ayudar con los power points en castellano asi pruebo con mis enanos, te cuento que ellos adoran el material enciclopedico (bits de inteligencia) mientras que con las tarjetas no he tenido mucho exito...

ellos son muy inquietos y no lograba captar su atencion en las palabras, mientras que con las matematicas un fracaso yo parecia loca haciendo ver tarjetas de puntos rojos y ellos ni por las moscas! y fue ahi que descubri LR.

Con LR e LM he logrado captar toda su atencion, es mas todas las mananas son ellos quien me pieden de encender el computador y verlos,  pero tengo la duda si realmente estan aprendiendo a "leer" y no solo memorizando el vocabulario en ingles en modo auditivo... (ps. ayer Isa me senalo las partes del cuerpo en ingles URRAAAAA !!!)

tengo muchas dudas de como estoy apricando el metodo, ya que lamentablemente no logro ser muy constante... entre casa, gemelos, marido,etc.. me queda poco tiempo Sad

Cuentame como van tus peques un abrazo
Carolina
