Thank you so much. Okay, the 40th Anniversary Edition it is. Hopefully it will all be cleared up after I start to read the book. Thanks, again!

No, I haven't read the earlier addition of the book. I am planning to buy the newer addition of it though. Do you suggest that I read the older version? Or the newer?

Thank you for your help. And, I appreciate what you have given me. I'm still a little wary about the guidelines and things, but I think I've got it down. Cleared things up a bit. Thanks again.

I plan on buying the newer made addition of Glenn Doman's book that you have suggested to to me. But all I really wanted to know was if this routine sounded good? I didn't even get an answer. That's all I wanted to know. All I desired was advice, suggestions, or comments on my routine. I thank you for the suggestion of the book, but I have previously looked into that and am planning to buy it. This forum/website is also continuing to confuse me. I've only been exposed to a couple different ways of teaching reading. I didn't know that it would be okay to use variations of the guidelines and diverse it into all these little complicated ways..

Hiiieee Guyyysss.

Well, I have decided on a tailored little organization on teaching reading to my baby. I want some of your adivce and or opinions on it. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Well here goes...

--I will have 8 categories all together:
Colors
Animals
Home
Body Parts
Shapes
Nature
(Haven't decided on the last 2, any ideas?)

--I will start out by showing 3 categories each day, 3 times a day. (EXAMPLE: Colors, Animals, Home, 3 times)

--After 5 days of Colors, Animals, and Home, I will retire one word in each category and  replace it with a new one. (Since that is the general guideline in the Doman method, and seems appropriate)

--In each category (I will have 8 categories), there will be 25 cards. But, I will only show 5 cards from each category. (Animals: 5 cards, Colors: 5 cards, Home: 5 cards. And this will happen 3 times a day.)

--My baby will therefore see the same card 15 times since she will see it 3 times in one day, and after 5 days, one card will be replaced with a new one. (5 days TIMES 3 times a day = 15 times seeing the same card).

Any suggestions? Is there something I should change with this routine?

Also, when should I start bringing out a whole NEW category? Instead of Animals, Colors, and Home, when should I bring in Body Parts? (And the rest of the categories?)


Thanks! 

I plan to print flashcards. And also put a couple categories on the computer.

Hiiieee Guyysss.

Well, I am planning on following the Doman Method. I am going to do 3 categories, 3 times a day (Starting out this way). I know that after each day, you retire a word and replace it with a new one from every category. Well, when do you start showing a new category? After a WEEK of showing the same 3 categories? Or longer? And if you retire a word and replace it with a new one each day from every category, how many cards should there be in one whole category?

Thanks!

Thank you SO much nhockaday!

You have cleared everything up so enormously well. All my confusion is gone.

Thakss again! 

Hiiiee guys.

I have a few questions about the flashcard method.

It says on the site, that you teach the cards in sets of 5, 3 times each day.

Does this mean you teach 5 cards from EVERY category 3 times a day?

Example: A set of cards from the category "animals". Do you teach the same 5 words from "animals" 3 times in one day, then the same exact cards the next day, 3 times in that day too, or do you use 5 different cards?

Also, if you have 4 categories, and you teach 5 cards from each category 3 times each day, isnt that a too many lessons? That would be 15 lessons a day! Is that what the instructions are, or am I just confused?

If i have the wrong directions, please correct me and tell me what is right.
