Hi Lilian!
First off, I'm very sorry to hear about your mother, and I hope you and your family are doing well.
About the curriculum, we have designed the LR curriculum in such a way that all you have to do is go to the course tab, and play everything there is for each day. You won't have to worry about choosing whether to teach your child in word flash or picture flash, since all those lessons will be played within the day.
To learn more about the curriculum, and how to make the most out of the new Little Reader, I would suggest that you download the eBook we created specifically for LR users:
http://www.brillkids.com/support/learning-system-ebooks.phpThe eBook will answer most of your questions and more, such as how the curriculum works, why the curriculum was made that way, tips on how to maximize your baby's lessons, etc.
It will also be a great resource book to help keep you updated on all the new things and features we've put into LR.
Hope that helps!
I'm glad to see you active again in the forum!
