I would like to ask you how long did it take you to teach your babies numerals and quantities... I've been working with LM and playing games with my twins for 4 months now. They are 16 months old by now. The girl recognizes numerals up to four and can (sometimes) also recognize quantities... 1 and 2 for sure, 3 and 4 I'm not sure if she really knows or it is just a coincidence (the boy speaks much less than her, so I have no idea about what he is learning). But they seem to progress more on reading, so I was wondering if I should be doing something else...
Any advice will be welcome, thanks a lot! 

What would you propose for my 15 mo (16 for Christmas) twins? All these ideas are very interesting, but I find them most suitable for 2-3 year toddlers, am I right? I would appreciate any idea from you all, you have soooo much experience!!!
Thank you!!

Hi everybody! Yesterday my little girl (15 mo) read almost all the words from the first YBCR lesson in Spanish, which I downloaded from this forum not long ago. I am sooooo happy!!!    : I managed to get a video as well  .
Does anyone know when the Spanish curriculum for Little Reader will be available? My twins like soooo much YBCR in Spanish, I can't wait to have LR!!

Hi Cokers4life, I've just downloaded your SALSA files, very nice job!!! Could I make just a couple of suggestions? We do not say "la agua" but "el agua", it is made in order to avoid the repetition of the vowel, although "agua" is indeed feminine and for the plural we would say "las aguas".  And "plántano" does not exist, its "plátano" without the n.
I will show your files to my twins tomorrow, I like your pictures very much!!
Thank you!

 Wow, ten months and a half! Really impressive! I can imagine the face of the woman...
Thank you Kerileanne for the idea about the I spy game... I will try writing on our Nintendo DS... as soon as they get a little less wild...

Thank you for all your suggestions, I will try them all... I've noticed that she has a problem with big, moving animals as well... I showed them a video of dolphins in youtube, and she was scared as well...  On the other hand, we can see sheep from our window and she loves that... maybe that's the problem, she's used to see the animals far from us and suddenly they are sooooo close...

By the way A_BC, I saw the video with your toddler reading in four languages!!! Really impressive, congratulations!! You both have a very good Spanish accent! 

Thank you very much A_BC! I'll take your idea of customising the lessons... I'll remove the videos and maybe change the images for some small lambs or something like that...   

We started with LR some weeks ago and everything was going fine, but suddenly my twins, especially the girl, started being afraid of some of the animals pictures and videos in Little Reader (specially goats, sheep and cows, don't ask me why...). They start to shout and cry as soon as they appear on the screen. Has this happened to you? What did you do? For the moment I'm only showing them some categories (they like action words), but I would like to go on with the curriculum!! Any ideas??
Thank you!

I wanted to share with you what happened this morning with my 14 mo little girl. I have been teaching her and her twin brother for two months. We use Little Reader for English and my own Doman cards and powerpoints for Spanish. They can read "mamá", "papá", "caca" and other words that I've shown them, and they usually choose the correct one between two options if I ask them to. But this morning my father told me, "have you taught L. how to read this?" (it was a toothpaste box). Of course not, nobody has! Well, she said "iaca" (it said (binaca)). I asked her to read it for me and she said again "iaca".  Of course it could be a coincidence, but what a coincidence!!!
I don't know if she's reading by herself or not... anyway, this is really exciting!!   

Your posts are very, very, encouraging!!! I have just started EL with my 13 month twins, but they can choose the correct word between two options, even among five cards, and after only two Little Reader sessions in English (we're Spanish) they wave, point and clap when I ask them in English to do so. And we're having so much fun!!! 

Hola Caroltwins! Sí, qué bien que podamos compartir experiencias aquí!! Yo todavía estoy pensando cómo organizarme para enseñar a mis niños (Pablo y Lucía)... He preguntado a la gente de Brillkids en UK y me dicen que a primeros del año que viene saldrá el pack de Little Reader en español. Así que lo que he pensado es utilizar Little Reader sólo en inglés hasta entonces, y después comprar el pack en español. Mientras tanto, estoy preparando powerpoints con palabras+imágenes en castellano, a ver si consigo que les gusten. Creo que tanto ellos como yo estamos cansados de las tarjetas!
Voy a probar los power points con los niños, a ver qué tal, y si quieres te puedo ir enviando algunos, a ver si a los tuyos les gustan!
Sobre los resultados... pues sí, creo que es la duda que tenemos todas por aquí... yo intento no probarles (al menos no mucho!) y confiar en que están aprendiendo. Sin embargo, alguna vez que les he pedido que escojan entre dos tarjetas lo han hecho bien. Incluso entre 5 tarjetas han encontrado la correcta. Pero sobre todo con la niña veo que no le gusta que le pregunte, así que lo evito al máximo.
Con el inglés acabamos de empezar (3 días!), pero ayer les dije en inglés "can you point?, how do you point?", y la niña hizo el gesto correctamente! Así que nada, esto es una carrera de fondo, hay que seguir adelante todos los días y confiar en ellos!!!
Bueno, seguimos en contacto, mucho ánimo con tus niños y hasta pronto!!!

Hi Kerileanne99, you are completely right, there is not much time for anything at home, and I have a full time job, so you can imagine... But I'm determined to teach the twins, at least I will give them the chance!!
Thank you for your post! 

I have just read about the backup option... I think that's what I need... 

Hi,
I want to teach by babies English with LR, but we're Spanish and I would like to create exactly the same curriculum in Spanish. Is there a way to copy whole English curriculum and save it with another name, then edit word by word? If not, which is the fastest way to duplicate the curriculum?
You must have answered to things like this a thousand times, I apologise for that.
Thank you very much in advance!

Hello everybody!! How I wish I would have found you some years ago!! I have an 8 year-old girl who learnt to read at four-five, phonetically. Now I have 13 months old twins, a boy and a girl, and I started a month ago with Doman-like cards. We have also started quantity recognition with cards. But preparing the cards is really time consuming, so I'm just starting with LR, both in English and Spanish (we live in Spain).

I just wanted to tell you that all your comments are really inspiring and encouraging, I will closely follow this forum!!!
