Hi!

My son now is 22 months old. Can I still teach him the whole-word approach using flashcards?

Based on the Doman method, before we retire a word it should have been presented to the kid 3x/day for 5 days, a total of 15 repetitions. As I have learned that during the early stage the brain can absorb everything like a sponge.  Why is it necessary to have 15 repetitions before you retire a word?

I don't have luxury of time to do 5sets of words/day to my son.  I want to show him as many words as I can make. That's why I want to know if it's ok to show him 5 words with 3x repetion per day? And retire that five words in that day also.

When is the best time to introduce phonics? 

Thanks a lot! 

Hello Everyone!

My son's name is Jeremy. He is turning two on October 26.

Thanks KL for creating this website.  This is very very useful.  I owe you a lot. Great job! I saw this site December 2007.  There were just a few useful information and as I recall there was only one video of Felicity. Felicity really inspired me. But when I visited again the site, it's expanding.  I've read again almost all the information here.  I found the other videos of Felicity. And great she can read the Cinderella book. Wow! It's really amazing.
