i have viewed the print out shichida 65-Day Math programme.. i dun understand what is the difference between GD Math and SM except for the equation part - For SM : You are only required to flash read out the answer of the equation i.e. say 1+1, flash answer to your child. For GD Math : required to flash 1, say "+" flash 1, then answer. Its only after sometime then required to just say out the equation and flash answer to your child.

Actually i dun really quite like SM of just flashing the answer to our child. Its like memorising the answer without knowing the concept of math. Remember for SM, it was said to stick strictly to the equations as stated in the programme. so, of course after some time of hearing the same equation being read out, kids will remember the answer. But do they really know the concept behind it? Will the child only know 8+2=10 but wont know the result of 10 can be 5+5, 4+6, 1+9

I prefer the GD Math cos by flashing 1, then 1, follow by the answer, the child will have a vision/concept of addition.

When creating a new word in Little Reader, there is a picture/video section where instead of using picture for your word, there is another option of using video. Can anyone teach how do i utilise that?

BTY, KL.. you mentioned there will be an update soon in May. Is there a estimate date? You can see that i am really desperate & excited to have the new updates (faster flashing speed, pronounciation speed and other great stuffs) to our Little Reader..

Hi THen

the below link refers you to a discusion to check if your version is Little Reader 1.2.118 and how to do the update. But there is no link to direct where should we go to update our Little Reader. Maybe KL or someone can help? I think the previous update of LR version 1.2.118 is announced in the forum news / announcement. 

http://forum.brillkids.com/little-reader/updating-to-lr-home-basic-1-2-118/

I am not sure if there is one, but i think it will be good to keep the update links in the "How TOs and FAQs" section so that people will know when there has been an update.

yes.using other icons has the same effect as red dots. Just that its advisable to use red dots for babies as what others have mentioned. Older babies and toddlers are able to see the icon as an item no matter if its a red dot or picture dot.Other icons with different pictures and patterns are to keep the babies stay interested. I guess they will get bored seeing the same dots every day (even with changing quantities)

thank you!!! i am so much looking forward to it!!!    and yes! its great to have Little Musician as well

with reference from the article, i think this nanny Verity is crazy..she must have a bad childhood and definately not fit to take care of babies!! Quote:

"I can't understand why anybody wants to cuddle a baby or pick a baby up," she said. "A baby doesn't want to be touched all the time. All they want is to be left alone to grow."

"The biggest mistake parents can make is to allow a baby to dictate to them. A baby should fit into your way of life, not you into its."

However, do keep an eye on our newsletters as we may offer further discounts in future.

hopefully, we dun have to wait too long    

though its priceless to see our child learn & grow, cost of little math meant alot to some of the mothers here.so

1) hopefully, we are able to get a larger discount on Little Math with using our points
2) Existing mother who have bought Little Reader to enjoy discount on their second purchase of Little Math

real-life pictures are necessary so that kids know how they really look like in reality,but do not forget creativity involved drawings, abstract pictures. further more,in school most of the coloring books, worksheets contain with cartoon animals as well. this website is great which i intend to make use.

Hi

I wanted to do 2 languages in LR but not sure how to do it example: word in english, word in japanese, picture or word in english, picture, word in japanese. Can someone help pls? i read in a similar topic in Ayesha thread, but am really confused about it cos she uses arabic word as a jpeg. In my case, can i just copy and paste the japanese word under the "word" column in LR? or is there any other way to show 2 words + picture (english, foreign, pic) So when doing a 2 words + picture, does that mean one word file will display 3 slides?

I am wondering if there is any update/improvement made to Little Reader Version 1.2.118 example like speed of flashing in LR to be faster, faster pronounciation (Like Little Math) and a note area for parents to write down comments/note. This is useful when it is in used with foreign language, the note area could contain the translated english for parent to see/read. I think someone had brought up this earlier, but i do not know if there have been improvement made to Little Reader. Or have i miss out anything in updating my Little Reader? please advise. Thanks!

may i ask, for little math, the discount offered is limited to only 20%? we cant have it free even if we have sufficient points like little reader?

very sorry.. I have just receive a latest photo update (6 months old) from my husband and would like to use this instead.

I am sorry, i used the wrong size. Here's the correct one.
