Oh wow! great find! I am at work right now, but I will try to download them when I get home...after trick-or-treating ofcourse...

Trying to find those free download is a task tho'. I managed to find these:

I totally see your point Krista G. My sister and I was just debating over this last night, and she had the same thoughts as you about this controversy. i just feel for those parents who cant tell the difference between educational and non-educational video products. The word "einstein" on their products are just misleading in my opinion. But i wouldnt go to the point that I would ask for a refund. Just imagine how many Baby Einstein have been sold since whatever year they started to be produced. There's gotta be hundreds of thousands of them out there, and to refund all of those is just completely insane. The state of our country's economy is already bad enough... I can just see Disney's stocks go downnnnnnn!!!!

My daughter absolutely loves the Readeez videos. She almost look like she is actually trying to read the words as they come up on the screen. i have downloaded some of the videos on my iphone so I cud always show it to her on go. it actually helpz a lot especially when shes a little cranky. I would just show it to her and she'd stop crying ryt away.

I was just checking out that DVD "Readeez" you just mentioned above. It seems like a lot of fun, and the background music isnt boring at all. Do they only have one volume so far? I hope they make more. Such a cool way to teach kids how to read 

I'm impressed with your son's reading skills by the way!

I myself have decided not to get my child vaccinated for the swine flu. Here in Oklahoma, the swine flu is wide spread. At work, I get exposed to the flu everyday. I see dozens of positive flu come through ER, and most of them are from children under the age of 13. It is scary. When I come home from work, I take a shower hoping that it would prevent my child from contracting it. It's a risk, but I dont want my child to be a guinea pig to this hurried vaccine for the new strain of swine flu virus.

Me too, I want to get the adult version. I didnt do so well on the Reading section of my ACT. But I believe it is never too late to learn new words. Although I finished college with flying colors, I still think my reading comprehension is subpar. Plus, with higher vocabulary, a person becomes a better speaker... and people would believe more of what you say. It just gains you more respect from your peers. That's just my opinion 

I was eating breakfast this morning while watching TV when I had stumbled with the infomercial with this heading “Smartest Kid in Class”…or something like that. I don’t really remember the exact title. Ofcourse I was drawn to it and flipped to that channel instantaneously. But anyway, it was an infomercial for “WordSmart,” an interactive learning computer software for improving vocabulary. I just found it really interesting. They made the program like a game that even kids would love and enjoy learning new words. They claim that their program increases vocabulary, which therefore increases ones reading comprehension. My child is only 6 month-old so I don’t think this program is any use to her for right now. But I would like other people’s input about this, because I am really considering buying it for her at a later time, when she is able to read.

They have different programs for different levels. They have one for Pre-K to Grade 2, which teaches fundamental reading skills and phonics. The next level is for grade school, the Grade School Excellence, which introduces over 5000+ words, with 1400 of them defined, and about 200 core words essential for mastering the English language. The next level after that is for middle schoolers, the Middle School Excellence. Then they have the High School Excellence, which they claim could improve your child's SAT score by 200pts and ACT score by 4 pts. That's just amazing! I am gullible with these sorts of advertisement, and stats like that just convince me . Then they have the Adult Learning Excellence for older people who want to increase their own vocabulary.

WordSmart also offers other programs such as:
•   Words Adventure 2008 – suitable for ages 7-12
•   SAT/ACT Test Prep
•   Progressive Reader 2008 – for Speed Reading and Comprehension
•   GRE/gMAT Test Prep
•   ESL

Personally, I would like to get one for myself  . But check it out! And let me know what you think 

Thanks a lot momtoo. This is great! I have been thinking of buying the Wink to Learn DVDs for sometime now.

Offer ends Nov. 1st everyone. So hurry!

Totally missed out on that one. But that's OK! My DD was just 2 months at that time. Do you plan on coming back anytime soon? We live around the area.

Check out their website: www.cbomc.com. They say they no longer have the automatic shipment. I am assuming they used to do that and got a lot of complaints, so they stopped doing it.

Your baby is sooo smart! At what age did you start signing with her?

As far as I know there is no charge for being a member. But thanks for the tip nhockaday! That's probably what Im going to do. I am so gullible, I easily fall for those promotions  I love the idea of borrowing from the library, but maybe for some books that I really want to keep, I would probably go with the Amazon,com idea.

Thanks KL,

I checked my bank account early this morning again, and I did see the $25 credit.  I just kind of panicked because I am paying a lot of bills at this time, and I didn't want to get overdrawn over that. I am also happy to say that I will be purchasing the Lifetime Plan for both LM and LR today since I got my money back

What's your opinion about joining a book club? I am thinking about joining the children's book of the month club. They currently have a promotion where you can get 6 books for $2.  The only catch  is that you have to purchase at least 4 books over the next year at regular Club prices. Including to their current promotion is that you can purchase 2 additional books for only $4.95 each and reduce your commitment to only 2 books over the next year. In addition to this, CBOMC is also participant of Upromise, so you can help your child save for college at the same time!
