I downloaded the little reader software free trial. Liked it so I made an impulse purchased. Now I wonder if i really need the curriculum when i only need the software. Did I pay for the software + curriculum or curriculum only?   blink

Yes, it is 14 days trial, it would let you test it, as if you have a full functional program with curriculum, just for 14 days. After that, if you like it you can make a choice of paying for it and choosing the length of curriculum you want to buy, at that point you can just continue to the day 15 and so on with your baby.

I didn't get to wait till 14 days because I was waiting for a discount. When I found that Brillkids was offering 10% discount, I grabbed the opportunity with not much thought. DD loves it from the beginning.

zephrfei, there seem to be 130 lessons in 1 semester..Not sure about 2 sems

The Pattern Phonics™ System

With Little Reader, your child will not only learn to sight-read, but will also be guided to decode the written language in an intuitive manner using our Pattern Phonics™ system. Our system enables you to split words into syllables or "parts" – this will create a visually comprehensible way of showing pronunciation stress and highlight certain consonants, vowels and combinations!

It it designed to have enough lessons to show 5 days a week for a whole year. However since lessons are never the same, if you play the same lesson again it would use different audio for voice, different photo, different font and color for words, so you can show lessons more often then that still enjoying the variety.

Hope this helps!

Skylark, thanks for positing all of that. I was wondering what was in the 2nd Semester. We're getting closer to finishing the 1st semester and I was wondering what other catagories and phonics words were taught in the 2nd half.

Just to add, in case someone wants to know exactly how many lesson "days" there are for each semester:

The English Semester 1 course has 130 days, and Semester 2 has another 130 days (so for the full curriculum there will be 260 days' worth of lessons). On the other hand, for the Chinese curriculum, there are 131 days for each semester (so the full curriculum has 262 days' worth of lessons).

It definitely can! Plus there are lots of additional lessons and presentations contributed by other parents and teachers, and you can download them for free!

You can look at them here:
