I read the original book in about 1981. I read "How to teach you baby Math" when Doman published it. I also read his precursor book 'What to do about my brain injured child". My 4 children (now 42, 51, 55 and 57) were past the time for utilizing this method. Finally, in 2009 we had a new baby grandson and I began teaching Little Reader 3 or 4 times a day at 6 weeks old. Each session was 2- 3 minutes long. I also began daily crawling with him on the floor as soon as possible. I pushed blocks ahead of him as a way to get him to strive to move forward. I followed this same plan with his new baby sister 2 years later. When they began to talk they could already read. Example: When he was 4 he read a 24 page book about the Declaration of Independence fluently. I also began Little Math when Brillkids made it available. They are now 6 and 8 years old. Their school classmates look to them as assistant TA's. Both pursue independent learning as their interests develop. I am now an 81 year old Grandfather. This has been one of the most enjoyable parts of my life. A big Thank You to K.L. Wong for advancing the Doman methods into these very easy to use teaching tools.

I began showing Little Reader/Math to my grandson 3-5 times (30-40 seconds) daily at 12 weeks old. I had no way of measuring success until he began to have verbal skills. He is now 4yr 10mo years old and in Pre school. He is a bit on the shy side. I and many other people are astonished at his reading skills. He intuits phonics (as described on the Glenn Doman site). He never looks up for help with a word, he flows directly to reading the word even though it may be his first encounter with the new word. We used the History Channel space videos and select captioning when possible. Also: Leap Frog etc. We use Word Caption as much as possible. I also (3 Mo - 3y) showed Singing Babies Nursery Ryme Time and Toddler Tunes with word caption 2-3 times per day. He goes to the 1-8 grade school library and selects books up through grade 8 level and reads them fluently. He reads every word even the words not previously experienced. His reading skills have enabled him to jump far ahead in the learning process. The Preschool teachers let him proceed at his own pace. In some ways he sets a fast learning pace for the other children and that really helps the teachers to move quickly through the material. I attempted to follow this same pattern with his younger sister, now 3 yr 1 mo old. Regretably, I did not follow the same specific schedule and while she is starting to demonstrate similar capablity she does not have the comfort with reading that he has acquired. I appears that starting early with frequent learning is very affective.
