Thank you so much Greyballine! This is great! Karma to you    There is not a target where I live, but I'm going to Denver these weekend and I'mgoing to make sure I find them.

nhockaday,

I''l let you know if I find them so you can guide me a bit with them.

Thanks again to both!

That is too bad. Thanks!

Hola a todos!

Ahorita estoy trabajando en unas presentaciones en LR y hay palabras que realmenete no tienen una traduccion exacta del ingles al español. Queria recibir algunas sugerencias:

La primera palabra es "WAVE" . No se si traducirla como "Saludar" (se que no es el mismo significado) o como "agitar la mano". Claro que si fuera esta ultima se deberia enseñar cuando se esten haciendo frases me imagino yo.

Se que hay otras palabras y las ire colocando en la medida que se me vayan presentando.

Ideas?    Gracias! 

This is where I was looking:

http://www.target.com/gp/search/181-5347504-1600512?ie=UTF8&search-alias=tgt-index&index=target&field-browse=1038576&ref=sr%5Fbx%5F1%5F1&field-keywords=flash%20cards

Thanks for checking!

I was looking at target's website and they have a lot of flash cards that you can order online, so that is why I was asking. Thanks anyways!

One last thing. Could you give me the name of the flash cards to see if I can find them? Thanks!

Ok, I see! Thanks again for working here with me and all my detailed questions 

I'm sorry I didn't explain myself well. I meant, how many cards does each set has of the sets you show your son? You said you show 8 sets 3 times a day.

How many cards does each set have?  Could you give me the name of the cards to see if I can find them somewhere else?  Thanks again!

I'm sorry to bother you so much, but I just want to make sure I understand  So you show your son 5 categories with 10 BITS 15 times. When you are done with those 15 times, so you start with 5 new categories or do you stat with the second magnitude? Do I make sense? 

Do you know if they still sell those cards at Target? If they do, what are the sets called there?

Thanks for all your help!

Where did you find the ones with the facts? So have you been doing the magnitudes?

You are welcome!    I'm glad I could help.

You can go to the institute's website and fill up a question form. It usually takes a couple of days to get an answer, but they do e-mail you back.

Just go to www.iahp.org go to contact and then to the mother helpline tab.

For Dr. Titzer, I know some other people wanted to contact him, but the YBCR site is manage by a marketing company and not him, so if you send a question to them it wouldn't be him answering it. Someone here had his e-mail, but he hasn't been around the forum for a while and anyways I think he never gave it to someone else.

I hope this is what you were looking for. 

I'm thinking about starting my daughter in EK, but I want to have clear in my head first how I'm going to do it. I read the post about how to do it with the 10 magnitudes, but honestly it sounds like a lot of work  There are many EK files here to download, but I'm not sure if you should just show them these files before you have taught the single words or to check which presentations you want to show and create the "just word + picture" presentation first. I'm not saying I'm not going to do it, but would like to hear from people that are doing EK program on how they are doing it, what has worked for them and what things they did that wouldn't do again.

Thanks!

It will also help them in school when they're learning various subjects. Like right now I'm teaching Gabriel about states (geography), insects (science), presidents (social studies, history or government), U.S. and world animals (science), space (science), landmarks (social studies or geography, maybe even history), and dinosaurs (science, maybe history). When he learns about thiese in school, he will already know some important things. Learning will be easier.
I read something somewhere about a grown-up who's mother did encyclopedic knowledge when he was young. He found himself remembering all kinds of facts that he didn't remember ever learning.

nhockaday,

Did you do all the 10 magnitudes with Gabriel? Could you tell me a little bit about how you followed the program and if you used LR for it? 

Thanks!
