This is a great program for my video loving son.   It's kind of pricey, but the second child is 1/2 price.  If you'd like to join our family for the discount let me know.
Love,

Mine needs new fabric on top.  It's made of wood with a foam cover on the inside and four feet long.  You may havw it if you pay to ship it.  It is heavy.  I would guess $10-$15 to ship.

Our wooden crawl track is 4 feet long.  It weights a lot, so it's for pick up only.  It needs new final, it is just the padding and the wood.  We live in Magnolia, Ia, near Omaha Ne.

Thank you.  Great job by the way if your baby is 1 and you are this far in the math program

My friend just asked for help with her 8 year old son, whose reading at a 5 year level.  Could Little Reader be good for him?  What else would you suggest.  I wondered about wink also.
Thank you,
JJ

I use to have a PDF of math equations for Doman style math.  It was by Doman mom on one of her Blogs, but since she switched to her new blog I have not been able to find it.  If someone could share on with me it would be wonderful!
Thank you,

octaviaorca,
Thanks.  I've recorded dots and words with Spiderman in the back ground.  I sped up the words so they were at a 200% spead with a high pitched voice.    It was really awful to watch and drove my husband nuts.  David watched it though.  I don't know if worked, but we (I) finally gave up on it.  Now I'm searching for somthing a lot less trouble some.
Love,
JJ

Thanks Ruth,
I had considered mking my own, the ways I'd attempted take a lot of time, so it is great to check out your resources. 

I'd love to hear more from you.  Kids teaching themself, or leading teachers sounds very front line.  Plus your positive nature is great!

Thank you,
Love,

Thank you KL.  You understand exactly what I mean.  I hoped your post would say "Oh, I can do that easily." 

Perhaps if I took my vision down a few notches it would become more realistic.  Could a program be designed that enlarged the closed captions that already existed and then moved them to the center of the screen?  That would be an improvement to DVDs like Spiderman. 
The next step would be a program that also highlighted those closed captions from left to right during the time they were on the screen.  It wouldn't be timed perfectly, but it might be close enough to get reading results.  It would at least naturally teach reading concepts.  It would need more testing then my original plan to see what results it got.  What do you think?  Would this be hard for a really smart programer like you, or someone you know?
Love,
Jennifer

Thank you!

You are so wonderful!

Thank you all those are wonderful ideas.

I have and love Little Reader and Your Baby Can Read.  Even with the program I'm inventing Little Reader will be a very useful program for encyclopedic knowledge.

I'm looking for a program that will turn any T.V. show into an early reading program.  My son loves to watch Bob the Builder at his grandparents house, and Thomas the train.  They hold his attention better than "Your Baby Can Read."  If any T.V. show or DVD could be converted simply by playing it in a special computer program, then teaching would be even easier.  It would also open the doors of early education to children who's parents don't take the time and effort to do it.  On a personal level it would help me because my husband feels it is important for David (3) to watch Spiderman and Ninja Turtles, which I see as useless.  Almost everyday, he ask me if I let David watch them.  It has been a source of conflict with us.  If David could learn to read by watching Spiderman, that would be wonderful for me, because my husband and I would both get our way.  I would no longer feel like Spiderman is a complete waist of time. 

I know that this could happen.  I just need help finding out how, to make it happen.  It could be as simple as a change in Windows Media Player, that made the closed captions center screen and single word flash.  I don't currently have the knowledge to do that.  I'm looking for someone who does; or knows where to find it.

Thank you for you ideas,
Love,
Jennifer

I am inventing a program or device that teaches children (or adults) to read, simply by them watch T.V.

It works by showing the printed word in the center of the screen, everytime that a word is spoken. I'd love for it to use the closed captioning that already exists, but it needs to be big and center screen where it won't be ignored.  Also it needs to show ONE word at a time, not a whole sentence. That means the words will flash very fastfor right brain learning.

So far I've got the idea. If anyone knows what to do next, I'd love your help.  It could be that a simple computer program could do this for DVDs as a starting place.
Love,
Jennifer

Thank you Frukc!  That is vey encouraging.

Congradulations!!!!

You can borrow or buy mine.  My cousin was using it but she just had her boy.

What is your address?
I'm so glad for you!!!

JJ

If you'd like to P.M. me your address (and your in the U.S. where shipping is cheap.) I'll mail you an hour long word flash DVD, I made.  I have my 2 year old fall asleep watching it. 

It's hard core Doman, but it's easy and improves his odds.
