How do you teach a 41 months to read using this system?

Wont it be too late to start teaching a 41 months (3+ years) boy to read using the examples here at brillkids? Please help!!!!!! Would it be the same method with a baby (9 months)? color=maroon][/color][/color]

well my boy is turning four next week we are up to day 11 in little reader and he read the word "blue" today and the font was in green and he knows his colours so it was a ligitimate read. I also wondered how much more work it would be to start later, but decided that as kids are mostly right brained until they are between 6 and 8 years old I had a pretty good chance. I was considereing having my six year old watch it too but she is too distracting.  Any exposure at all builds the brain networks so it is easier to learn it again later. I am already convinced that if I stick at it it will be successful. Plus he will go to school knowing his ABCs and phonics and many other important skills. As he is older we dont always do the picture flash part of the program as he knows what they are already and can speak clearly. We will do it if he wants to. We are doing little math aslo. He isnt as interested in it, but it doesnt take long and we downloaded some dinosours and bob the builder characters to keep it interesting. This I can recomend for this older age group, Keep it interesting. Do the actions, have a laugh, be silly.
 I did teach my girls about 100 words each (flashcards, homemade) by the time they were 3 but I was inconsistent and they never read anything other than those words until they were taught at school. I can still say it was worth it, they learn everything so easily now.
The two age groups are taught the same way but good luck getting them both in the mood for it at the same time. Perhaps have them watch/learn over lunch or morning tea or as part of the bedtime routine.

For the 3 year old, combine LR, starfall.com and readingbear.org. When you read to him, underline the words with your finger. Maybe buy one or two of the Your Baby Can Read DVDs used. He should be able to read by 4 to 4.5 years, if you teach consistently.
