I know how you feel, I was totally lost the first time I log in.
This is the reply I received from Labby, I post it here, hopefully it helps:( I guess Labby won't mind:P)
I'm happy that you asked me that question, since this is one of the most important topics a parent new to teaching should know. It's quite easy to get a bit "overwhelmed" here, since everyone just seems so used to teaching their children.
I personally encourage you to have a read through of one of our websites: BrillBaby. Here, we discuss everything you need to know about teaching your child, how to start, what to remember, and even a review of several different products to help you teach. Although we at BrillKids also develop our own products, we would never pressure anyone into just buying them without knowing what they do, so please read through BrillBaby first so you can decide which teaching method and style is best for you and your baby. smile
To learn specifically about teaching babies how to read, please go here:
http://www.brillbaby.com/teach-baby/reading.php You'll learn about the two methods you can use to teach - the flash card method (which takes advantage of right brain learning capabilities of children) and the multisensory method (incredibly fun and very stimulating for baby!) We've built all of our BrillKids learning systems to be able to use both methods, so you have more flexibility in your lessons.
I hope you enjoy your stay here, and if you have any further questions, I encourage you to write to us in the forum --- this way, a lot of other parents will be able to answer you from their own expert opinions, and you'll get more variations and experiences to help you through!
Happy teaching!
Lappy
(Thanks to Labby again)
