nhockaday, Are the cards you found similar to the Dinosaur flash cards and U.S. Presidents flash cards in this link?

Joha, Maybe these could help you if you cannot find anything at Target.

Mum.

Hi Hafam,

I received a reply the day after I sent the email.

Annette advised she would be on vacation until Friday, so if you have not received a reply by the end of next Monday just send another email to the same address and attention it to Annette.

Mum.

Hello hafam,

I had the same experience. I emailed Trebillina and Annette has been wonderful at assisting me.

Simply send an email explaining your problem to [email protected].

Enjoy learning languages,

Mum.

Thank you Shuki, it will be wonderful to have the option to include or exclude the Title Pages.

Could you also consider:

1. Providing a font size option for the Title Page. If I am going to intentionally include a Title Page I would like my children to be able to read it as clearly as all the words in the Playlist.

2. Writing a FAQ thread explaining all about how Title Pages currently work. For example, can we add a pronunciation file for a Title Page.

Thank you,

Mum.

PS. We are really enjoying the new content, especially the new Action Words categories. 

Good morning,

It is morning here and we are about to start today's "magic games" (our name for LR sessions) and I was hoping to hide the Playlist's Title Pages today.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem? 

Thank you,

Mum.

I downloaded LR v1.5 yesterday and love what I have seen so far. Thank you to everyone at BrillKids. Your hard work and dedication to our children are amazing. 

One problem that I have not been able to overcome today with v1.5 is the appearance of Playlist Title Pages for my existing Playlists.

I have not yet examined how I will use the new Course with my 1 year old son because we are a long way into the reading process - heavily into couplets since the beginning of April and starting simple sentences this month. Therefore I am keen to stick with my own reading program made up of hundreds of “sets” (that I have entered into LR as Categories) that I use to update my 6 Playlists each evening.

Please tell me it is possible to remove the Title Pages. 

Please tell me how to do it.

Thank you,

Mum.

Hi Linzy, the template is simply:

Division: Biology
Category: Mammals
Set: Australian Mammals
Bit of Intelligence: Name
1. Where they live
2. What do they eat
3. What is an outstanding characteristic
4. What is the number one enemy of these animals
5. Size information
6. Information on reproduction or young
7. Anatomical or interesting feature
8. Anatomical or interesting feature
9. Anatomical or interesting feature
10. What is the phylum of these animals
     What is the class of these animals
     What is the order of these animals
     What is the family of these animals
     What is the genus of these animals
     What is the species of these animals

I had the same concern about the 10th magnitude but thought that if it is used for reptiles there would be no harm using it for mammals.

Thank you Linzy. I'm glad you like it.

I have numbering 1 to 10 on my original file and I just downloaded the file from the LR website and it had numbering 1 to 10 too. Perhaps it has something to do with your bullet & numbering set up. If you find out and there is a way I can help while setting up my files let me know.

I have just added a PowerPoint file titled Australian Mammals with POIs - 1.

The file contains pictures and POIs for the following amazing animals:

Tasmanian Devil
Short-beaked Echidna
Koala
Tiger Quoll
Red Kangaroo

Hello everyone,

I live in Sydney.

Looking forward to chatting with you about Australian topics. We love all of the Australian specific downloads.

Goodnight,

Mum.

[Predators:]

I have just added my first Encyclopedic Knowledge file named Australian Mammals with POIs - 1. The file contains pictures and POIs for Tasmanian Devil, Short-beaked Echidna, Koala, Tiger Quoll and Red Kangaroo.

Sorry for the late start. Christmas was not a great time for starting something new. The New Year is certainly the right time!  Thank you to Linzy and everyone else for getting me off and running with my POIs and Happy New Year to all.

Now that I have my template set up I will keep working on Biology for a few weeks.

Linzy, in the thread where I asked about Formulas for Encyclopedic Knowledge you wrote:

Predators:

Division: Biology
Category:Mammals
Set: Predators
Bit of Intelligence: Name
1st Magnitude: Where they live
2nd Magnitude: What do they eat
3rd Magnitude: What is an outstanding characteristic
4th Magnitude: What is the number one enemy of these animals
5th Magnitude: What is the phylum of these animals
6th Magnitude: What is the class of these animals
7th Magnitude: What is the order of these animals
8th Magnitude: What is the family of these animals
9th Magnitude: What is the genus of these animals
10th Magnitude: What is the species of these animals

I initially prepared the 10 magnitudes for Australian Mammals according to your formula but thought that the result was a bit light on and boring because the scientific information took up 5 magnitudes. I have therefore based my POIs on a combination of your mammals formulas and the “Formula for the creation of reptile magnitudes” from page 167 of “How To Give Your Baby Encyclopedic Knowledge” by Doman/Aisen. I hope this OK with you.

Also I have found that the pictures (BOIs) that I use in the files I download to Little Reader are the best I can find that I am able to share, not the pictures that I use privately with my children. I encourage everyone to search for and add their own excellent quality and discrete (that is, having one subject/item only with no background etc) BOIs.

I would welcome any further tips you have and feedback on my first file.

Thank you again,

Mum.

Hi KL

I use Picture only (flash) for Playback mode and Random for the Order. I find that some of the combinations do not display well. For example if nine comes after seven the pronunciation of nine appears before the picture of nine dots appears.

You will have to play the category a few times to see what I mean.

I need to fine tune the timing of my pronunciations and pictures in my little reader files.

I have been putting a lot of work into trying to make perfect Red Dot card categories and have read your tips about making sure the pronunciations are quick with no space at the start and end of the pronunciation files, but I am still having major difficulties creating well timed and quick flashing files. I would like to use LR Home with the sound turned on because I wish to create very personalised and fun categories by placing "extras" in between the dot files and/or at the end to help keep my child interested.

I have attached a category and hope you can let me know what I am still doing wrong with the sound files. 

Thank you,

Mum.

Thank you Linzy for your very thorough reply to my question and sorry for my delayed response. 

I am slowly working through the Doman books and have enjoyed watching the DVDs I had shipped from the US, but had not come across these formulas.

I will join the EKWCG and would like to select Biology first up. The weekly deadline will be just what I need to get cracking on the animal POIs I have been planning to make for my children.

How thrilling!

Mathematics
Art
Geography -States of the United States of America (Linzy)
Literature
Language
Science
Biology - Mum
Music
Human Physiology (Nbailey)
History

I would prefer to do 5 a week as I have very little experience with making POIs and just like all the other parents out there, no time! I am certain you will get may more EKWCG members by keeping the number at 5.
