Hello JIF,

How wonderful to be starting your early learning journey and congratulations on the new baby in the house!

I can't really answer your question, but I would suggest you invest in Little Reader, you can find thousands of flashcards in the library and you can create your own and keep them organized using LR.  You can also use your flashcards to create bits of knowledge slides.  LR is a very good investment indeed.

This topic you posted on (Encyclopedic Knowledge Courses in Little Reader) relates to a team of EL parents who are collaborating to create Little Reader courses.  Many people will not read this post because the topic doesn't concern them and has been around for long.  I want to suggest you start a new topic instead.  I'm sure many will read the new topic and you'll get more posts in response to your question that way.

Good luck on your early learning journey, you are very lucky to have found this forum and to have learned of Doman's methods so early on.

[The concepts are as universal as “love thy neighbor as thyself.”]

Yesterday, I discovered this GREAT site. I only listened to the introduction and lesson 8 (where there is even a guided meditation for kids!) I am NOT sure whether there is a guided meditaion for every lesson, but I wanted to share (a main teaching of the site) with you anyway, in case you find it useful for YOUR kids too.

I copy from their FAQs:
"By spirituality we mean a looking inward to fulfill our potential to achieve happiness, love and joy, and a looking outward to foster positive connections with other individuals and with the greater community. Instead of using ethics and morals to encourage positive behavior in children, true spirituality teaches children to understand and recognize the chain of cause and effect."

And although it is done by people from a Kabbalah Centre:
"Spirituality for Kids is not based on any religion and provides principles and tools that are familiar to, and enriching of, all paths. The concepts are as universal as “love thy neighbor as thyself.”"

@momtobaby and oohmama, I've sent you personal messages so please check your inbox.

I say again, it's never too late to join and everybody is welcome, but you'll either have to complete your assignments in much less time than other team members had, currently averaging 10 hours' work in 3 weeks time, or you'll have to wait to contribute to our next project in order to gain access to this one, if that is what you wish to do.

Hello oasis, I sent you a PM, please check your inbox.

@patience I've sent you a personal message so please check your inbox.  Thanks

@Swathi    you are already contributing to this course and thank you so much for the work you've done.  These two posts are actually about the same project, but don't worry, you are great and I will definitely not let you miss out on any of our projects.  Thank you too for your enthusiasm!

@layan, I sent you a personal message so please check your inbox and thank you for your interest in our project!!

Wow, 5 new people in one week, and 60 members on the team in total!  How lovely that our project of "add an image to a fact for each of 800 facts" turned into a project that's all recorded, with videos, activities for the kids to do and over 4,000 images!!  I personally can't wait to start this course with my little boy and share it with everybody who are working so hard.  Thanks to everybody on the team and please be patient, we are on schedule and November is just around the corner.

@lee242436,  I've send you a PM, thanks for joining 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is the first BrillKids community collaboration for a Little Reader course.  It will not be the last...     

@sweetmom, I sent you a PM, please check your inbox and welcome to the team.

@Swathi,  I sent you a personal message, please check your inbox.

Absolutely beautiful Lacy!!  and thanks again for the series, we love it!

(Feels like you made this specially for us  x x x x)

Ah!  Thank you for the link!  Could have gotten that with a simple search, sorry for asking a silly question 

@mom2bee, I'm rephrasing my statement because I was being very mean, but what I meant to say was that discarding a product based on the religious beliefs of its creator is a form of bigotry.  The original Monkisee videos ARE 100% secular, being so intolerant towards Krista's religious beliefs as to refuse her non-religious videos is unfair.  Yes, it's completely your choice, but to me it seems a hateful expression towards Krista.

@kizudo, I did not notice the Bible videos for Readeez, are you sure?  (I'm asking this sincerely because I feel that they can be put to good use for the foundation, of which Readeez is a partner, yet I was not even aware of them.)

@Krista, the whole series including the new DVD looks too sweet!  I love what you do!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!           

How lovely, it will be so easy to take with me now!

BrillKids Team, you're the best!
