Glenn Doman

Parents who have experience with the method Glenn Doman,

I have been reading about Glenn Doman method internet. I wonder if someone who have read the book How to teach your baby" by Glenn Doman, considers that this resource is a must. I like buying in amazon, and there I have read some positive reviews, the most, and some negative reviews...
http://www.amazon.com/How-Teach-Your-Baby-Read/dp/0757001858/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1347343603&sr=1-1&keywords=glenn+doman+flash+cards (Example:  This is THE book to read Doman's books are a must read, and you should start with this one. After you read it, read the How to Teach Math (much easier to do the program because you can purchase an inexpensive kit from the author's institute). If you are into it, read Encyclopedic knowledge...)


What do you think?? Can this book help me or is there an interesting website that you remember now?

Nuria, yes the Doman books are worth it. They will give you many ideas and the technique for teaching with flashcards.
Many of the books are easily available from your local library.
If you were to buy some, then start with the reading one, then decide what to buy from there. If you can think through the reading program, the other books are mostly a replica of that anyway and are quite repetitive in many ways. If your baby is under 6 months the physically superb book will be good for you too. My personal favourite was the encyclopedic knowledge book, I could have read it and skipped the rest but I think most people probably need to read the reading one first.  I personally thought the math one was a waste of time. Plus LM is a copy for that program anyway.

I once asked your same question on this forum, and beloved members recommended "How to multiply your baby's intelligence". The reason is that the book summarises the entire math, reading, and encyclopedic knowledge (EK) programs in one book. So if you can get this one, you may not need the seperate reading, math, and EK books.

My next choice would be 'How to teach your baby to be physically superb'. This one is for the physical program (from birth to age 6). And there is another one called 'How smart is your baby (this one contains the physical program from birth to age 1).

So, in summary, my choices would be:
1) How to multiply your babies intelligence (for reading, math, and EK programs)
2) How to teach your baby to be physically superb (for physical program from birth to age 6)
3) How smart is your baby  (mostly physical program  from birth to age 1, though some reading strategies (use of flashcards) are also included.)

Here was the thread where I asked the question (http://forum.brillkids.com/teaching-your-child-to-read/question-about-doman's-'teach-your-baby-to-read'-book/msg77634/#msg77634).

And I never prepared Doman flashcards. I used LR.  Plus LR has a print function where you can simply print out the words. And for Doman math, I never got math flaschcards either. I simply used LM.

Yes, they are very worthwhile

If I had a baby who was under 1 year of age, I would buy the How Smart is Your Baby book.  For older kids, even up to 6 years, I would buy How to Multiply Your Baby's Intelligence & the Physically Superb book.

It is a wonderful program & we have seen tremendous results from it.

Thank you friends,

Then these books are worthwhile, perhaps I am going to begin with how smart is your baby and how to teach your baby to read. My baby is almost six months. I have never thought that a baby could read... If it is so now, when she goes to the university...   Nee thank you for the link. Now I am going to have a look. Perhaps it is a good idea to go to the library in order to see if there is one of these interesting books.
