hii everyone.. Ian started to pick up reading (letters and words) when he was 18 months.. I have been showing him flashcards (home made and Little Reader) ever since he was 9 months. Don't expect quick results.. and never give up... the same happened to me.. when Ian showed no signs that he actually understood what was shown to him the first few weeks..or wrongly pointed to different colours or shapes when asked. but later out of the blue he just rattled it off...

now I am building on his existing vocabulary while doing some Shichida Method memory games..

[Hii New Mom,I try to answer your questions as below:1. He is reading the letters, does he read words too?Ian can also read words such as parts of the body (tongue, nose, hair, elbow, bellybutton, arm, fingers etc. and action words such as jump, kick, crawl, stand etc). Now he's picking up couplets and phrases very fast.2. Have you used any other tool other than LR like hand made flash cards, ppt etc.]

Hii New Mom,

I try to answer your questions as below:

1. He is reading the letters, does he read words too?
Ian can also read words such as parts of the body (tongue, nose, hair, elbow, bellybutton, arm, fingers etc. and action words such as jump, kick, crawl, stand etc). Now he's picking up couplets and phrases very fast.

2. Have you used any other tool other than LR like hand made flash cards, ppt etc.
Yes. Home made flashcards used together with LR and some of the videos on youtube particularly the ones from DreamEnglish. But i believe LR accelerates the learning and make it easier for lazy working parent like me.

3. How did you prepare those letter from which you were teaching to your baby?
Bought it from a shop in Malaysia.

Thanks.. I am very happy to share this video with everyone.. Ian has started reading the words by 19-months old..Thanks to Little Reader.

baby firstwords is quite interesting application.i have been using it for my baby since he was 6 months old and he likes it a lot..it's using the multi-sensory approach i.e. word, picture and sound....

wonderful..I am on the waiting list..hope it will get it started soon..

meanwhile, I have already started my baby on YBCR and Glenn Domann..

brilliant..thanks for the sharing

hii everyone,

just feel that this topic deserves to be discussed again  

recently registered my son for the tweedlewink course at Neo Damansara Malaysia. He seemed to enjoy his first lesson. I guess next thing is a matter of following it up with home lessons.

Really can't wait to see how he progresses.

there is another good website http://www.starfall.com

it's an online learning. not only it has maths material but also phonics..injecting some variety in our kids' lessons.
