TESTIMONIAL 1My 2.5 yr old & I have really enjoyed the brillkids program. It is very mommy & toddler friendly
Oftentimes, my son will make his way to the laptop (which is turned off) and go through the proper steps to get the brillkids program to come up. It's a challenge to actually get him to take a break because he really loves seeing, hearing & saying the words as well as watching the accompanying pictures. Brillkids is a program that we visit daily & it is one of many "games" we partake in. Currently my son is reading Dr. Seus books all by himself -- it's truly amazing to have my son read to me! Not to sound corny but I'm often discretely sheding happy tears because I'm so proud of my kiddo as he reads to me. Thank you for such a powerful product.

TESTIMONIAL 2 by AnuShyamI've been using Little Reader to teach my 2 children for a few months now. Little Reader serves both my kids' differnt needs. The younger one, aged 2, enjoys the Animal Catogories where there is a real picture of the animal accompanied by the sounds they make. He can now recognise words even before the picture comes up! I think that's a big improvement. Whereever he sees the word lion or frog, he's able to voice out the word with the accompanied roar!
He also loves the nursury rhymes but without the word flash. The words pause break up the flow of the rhymes and this distracts him. My elder one, aged 3.5, enjoys more complex catogories like Flags, Planets and 7 wonders of the world. She shows interest even outside our little reader sessions when we visit the library. She recalls the nice pictures in the 7 wonders and wants to get a book which shows more about them.

TESTIMONIAL 3 by Redheaded1I have truly enjoyed using little reader and getting all my friends with kids excited about it as well. This website and program have made me rethink home schooling my child (for the better) and has really gotten my entire family enthusiastic about early childhood development and education. BRAVO to you!

TESTIMONIAL 4 by heyblue41 (Amanda)My kids love little reader. They can't get enough of "the game". I noticed my son repeating words he heard only one time in russian after we had used Little Reader. Now he knows how to say cat, dog and many other animals in about 5 differnt languages. The only exposure to most of these has been Litle Reader.
====================================================================
TESTIMONIAL 5My son in the couple of days we have had it downloaded and set up, has pestered me to let him onto the computer. This has the added advantage of his wanting to operate a programme he has shown interest in, together with learning the co ordination of hand and mouse and keyboard.You may have observed I use English spelling, that is because I am an English ex-pat, and want to help my son learn English. This is the first time he has shown interest in any educational software I have tried with him.

TESTIMONIAL 7 by carpe_diemI have thoroughly enjoyed using Little Reader - I thought I knew a lot about teaching reading to people of all ages - and particularly since a was a follower of Glenn Doman methods 40ish years ago. That said - I have found Little Reader totally inspiring - it has taught ME such a lot (
) it is very addictive - and encourages the software user to not only make use of the material provided in the program - but to create their own. The kids really love Little Reader - from the beginning, they have wanted to suggest what I should include in their playlists - Joseph 2 1/2 yrs said he wanted to have his rat (stuffed toy) in the 'family' playlist. He told me to take a picture of 'rat' and was delighted to see it next time he was 'doing the words' That is what is so great about the concept of LR - the children have something that they can relate to - their OWN body/family/toys/pets and so on - and there is the facility to add to those to widen their horizons. The fact that people from all over the world - using any language - even dialects can come together, share concerns and experiences, give one another support, and contribute to the whole is absolutely amazing. A sort of Global Togetherness worthy of a Noble Prize for Literary Software Development. ( I DID mean Noble
) I can honestly say that I don't know of ANY other software that is so versatile/comprehensive/meaningful and enjoyable as Little Reader.

TESTIMONIAL 8 by leana (Leana)I found it to be very pleasent and rewarding experience. My daughter and I both love Little Reader! And whole our family can see that she is learning a lot from it. Although she cannot speak yet, she does act things like "hands up", "point", "kick" etc. which she learnt from LR. Thanx for making such a wonderful program for kids.

TESTIMONIAL 9 by nadia0801Little Reader has helped me colossally! I was just starting to discover the Glen Doman method and this software takes the reading program to a whole new level. It makes everything more organized and accessible. It also offers the very essential 'customization' option to adjust to each child. I personally like the user-interface. Simple and easy-to-use. With more downloadable content, I'd say it is the BEST program for infant learning today!
====================================================================
TESTIMONIAL 10My experience with little Reader is great. My daughter has a speech delay, but after using Little Reader for two days, she can now say Mommy.
====================================================================
TESTIMONIAL 11I have never tested her before today, we tested her with about 10 different word cards – and she got every one right! Thirty years ago I would have been told to put Kay in an institution because she was unteachable… I admit I had never heard of teaching babies to read a year ago and would not have believed she could do this. The sky is the limit for my little girl!
