Hi Chris (chrisatjonesgeniuses),

I joined the first session but it was 11 PM for me and I am really interested to join other session. Therefore, I was wondering if you could try to organize one session any day in the morning (UTC time). So, I am able to attend it during my day time ;-). I am in Europe (GMT+2).

Thank you in advance,

Gilma

49  Products Marketplace / Second-Hand Sell + Swap / Re: ISO- Your Baby Can Read- SPANISH VERSION on: September 03, 2010, 07:53:37 AM
Hi LDSMom,

First thing that I would like to tell about this site is that it is the worst "spanish" webpage that I have seen in my life....Come one, they just translated the first page and the other links are just copies of the english webpage. Even the pictures are in English and they don't really show how is the new look that the kit has in Spanish.

About your question "". What is that? The true is that they don't include any other descriptions about the content.

Additionally, when you go to the page to order the kit, it has contradictory information. It says that it costs $199.95 but also includes a sentence in small letter where it says
"Al momento del envío se cobrarán a su tarjeta de forma mensual 3 pagos de $199.95 más impuestos aplicables" So, At the time of sending, your credit card will be charged a monthly 3 payments of $ 199.95 plus applicable taxes. Does that mean that the kit costs $599.85?

If you will order it, I will advise you to be careful and check with them the real price. To avoid awful surprises.

I hope that my comments help you in any way.
Regards,
Gilma
50  Local Support Groups / Español / Método utilizado para enseñar a leer y escribir en Español on: September 01, 2010, 03:06:25 PM
Hola a todos,
He estado buscando información acerca de la mejor manera de enseñarle a leer y escribir a mí bebe en español. Hay mucha información en Ingles, pero desgraciadamente en español es menos claro y no he encontrado nada concreto.
Mientras buscaba esta información, me encontré que hay diferentes maneras o métodos para enseñar a leer y escribir (Yo no soy profesora/docente).
Entre esos métodos están:
- Método alfabético
- Método silábico
- Método fonético
- Método global
- Método de la palabra generadora
- Método psicogenético (o de la psicogénesis)
Si bien me acuerdo, en mi época de escuela, me enseñaron a leer con el método de la palabra generadora (no sabía que así se llamaba el método, pero recuerdo bien la frase “mi mamá me ama” y creo que me enseñaron con un libro llamado “Nacho lee”)
Estoy viviendo fuera de mi país (Colombia) y aquí no encuentro escuelas ni material que enseñe español, así que será toda una osadía enseñarle a mí bebe a leer en español, pero se que todo mi esfuerzo valdra la pena.
Así que les agradecería si me pueden dar pautas, ayudas, sugerencias acerca del método que se utiliza actualmente o el mejor método a utilizar en mi caso.
Muchísimas gracias de antemano,
Cordial saludos,
Gilma

PD: Aquí debajo incluyo una pequeña descripción de los métodos que encontré.

El método alfabético
“Aprendemos ante todo los nombres de las letras, después su forma, después su valor, luego las sílabas y sus modificaciones y después de esto sus palabras y sus propiedades” Dionisio Halicarnaso
El método de enseñanza más antiguo conocido, promueve la lectura a través del deletreo. Así la palabra “papel” se deletreará “pe-a-pe-e-ele”. Se trata de una práctica compleja porque pareciera distanciarnos del valor significativo de la lengua escrita y más aún, de su significado.

Método silábico
”Se me debe leche”, “si mi dibi lichi”, “so mo dobo locho”
Este método, que se difundió en el siglo XVIII, comprendía varias series de sílabas que podían leerse de derecha a izquierda y de arriba hacia abajo. De esta manera, se repetían las combinaciones de sílabas lo que facilitaba el aprendizaje de los sonidos de vocales y consonantes.

Método fonético
A comienzos del siglo XIX, comienza a considerase que el “sonido” es un buen punto de partida para la enseñanza de la lectura. De esta manera, diferenciando el fonema de la letra se superaba el deletreo a través del método alfabético.
El método fonético comenzaba con el sonido de las vocales y luego, se iban sumando consonantes. Esta ejercitación preparaba al niño para el aprendizaje de la lectura.

Método global
Este método busca introducir una nueva variable en el aprendizaje de la lecto-escritura: la motivación. Internalizar el proceso de decodificación de todas las letras del alfabeto exige un enorme esfuerzo, por lo tanto, se busca facilitar este proceso a través de diferentes estrategias que van desde colocar ilustraciones como referencias hasta la introducción del juego.
Por otra parte, surge la clara necesidad de unir la significación a la enseñanza de la lectura, esto es, no basta que el niño sepa leer sino que además, comprenda qué es lo que está leyendo. En este sentido, el interés por la comprensión actuaría como un motivador de la lectura.

Método de la palabra generadora
”Mi mama me ama”, “Mi mamá me mima”
Este método presenta una palabra ilustrada que el docente lee en voz alta para que los alumnos puedan repetir su lectura. La palabra, luego se divide en sílabas que a su vez se utilizan para construir nuevas palabras. A medida que se van incorporando nuevas palabras, aparecen nuevas letras y luego se van generando nuevas palabras.

Método psicogenético (o de la psicogénesis)
Los métodos enunciados anteriormente, pese a su variedad, tienen un común denominador: parten del desconocimiento inicial del alumno, esto es, ignoran si el alumno ha avanzado ya por cuenta propia en el proceso de aprendizaje de la lecto-escritura. Las investigaciones realizadas por Ferreiro y Teberosky a lo largo de la década del 70, parecen demostrar que los niños arriban a la escolaridad formal con algún grado de conocimiento respecto del funcionamiento de la lengua escrita, de manera tal que hasta podría especularse que, con el estímulo de una sociedad alfabetizada, el niño puede llegar a descubrir por sí mismo, como es que funciona el lenguaje escrito y adquirir así la capacidad para leer y escribir.

Estas investigaciones realizaron una descripción de las diferentes etapas que los niños van atravesando espontáneamente en el aprendizaje de la lengua escrita. Cada una de estas etapas se caracteriza por una hipótesis que el niño construye respecto al funcionamiento de la lengua. Estos supuestos van evolucionando hasta que se alcanza la completa comprensión del funcionamiento de la lengua escrita.

Hi DannyandAmy,

I think that you forgot to add the promotional code SDE. I had the same mistake the first time that I tried to check the promotion. When you click in the button "add to cart", go to the cart and you will see that they ask:
Ready to check out? 
1. If you have a Promotional Code enter it here:

So, you enter it and you will see the discount.

I hope that my instructions help you,

Gilma

Hi,

I was wondering if the ones that already ordered it and received it, can provide me more information about the weight of the package. I need to check the cost of the shipment before order it.

Krista G: Karma to you for your suggestions.

Thank you in advance,

Kind regards,
Gilma

Uppps...Yes...I missed something...I didn't fill in the promotional code SDE.
Do you think that it could be a problem if I order it and ask to ship to Belgium?
It could be strange for them and maybe they will block the code and I really do NOT want to block the code for the other members. So, I will wait until your replies to see if I can proceed with my order  wub

Cheers,
Gilma

57  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child to Read / Dilemma: Start with which language if we speaks three languages at home on: August 15, 2010, 09:11:28 AM
Hi lovely parents in the forum,

I have a dilemma and I would really like to receive your advices and suggestions.

I don’t know with which language start to teach my baby to read  confused .

At home, we speak three languages and my baby hears all of them every day (Mama and her family speaks Spanish to the baby, Papa and his family speaks Dutch to the baby and between mama, papa and family, we speak English to understand each other. Yeah, it can seem really weird  wacko ). So, I am having a hard time to decide which language start with.

I am creating my own categories in Spanish and Dutch following Doman books and I have bought Semester 1 and 2 of LR. I know that LR will have the curriculum in Spanish (some day)  yes  but I want to start as soon as possible with my baby. She has almost 11 months and the time pass too fast.  unsure

Could you please help me to decide? Or comment how are you doing your program with your babies?

Thank you in advance for all your replies,

Kind regards,
Gilma

Hi Ewa,

I agree that online workshops and courses will be very popular, especially for those ones no living in USA and do not have any institute near home.

I, as a lot of parents in this forum, have all the books already and we will be interested in find additional information in the website. In my case, I would love to find information how to teach foreign languages. I tried to find more information in the website and I noticed that the link is not workig: about http://www.domanadvantage.com/parenting/what-about-your-baby's-first-foreign-language/

Please keep us informed if the site will offer new information.

Cheers,
Gilma
