EARLY LEARNING / Early Learning - General Discussions / Where to start with math and foreign language?

My son is 26 m.o. and I am teaching him reading with powerpoint slides which works well for now, but I intend to buy LR. I’ve downloaded LM trial version but he is not interested at all and screams when I try to show him the lessons. So I am wondering what else is available and what you guys are using to teach your children math. He only knows numbers 1-10 and can count to 20. On another subject, I’d like to introduce French and may be Spanish which we don’t speak so I have to rely on the computer. Where do I find some materials suitable for his age? Thank you so much, I’ve learned so much from this wonderful forum.

Thanks for your advice. How old is your daugher? How long did it take to learn to read sentences? I've noticed with by son that he forgot already some of the words that he knew when I show them to him again. Should I be concerned? Should I keep showing them after they have been retired? Another concern is that he can't stay still to read him a book, always wants to play with it or to do something else.

My child is 25 m.o. and I've been showing him powerpoint slides downloaded from brillkids and other websites you suggested (thank you!) for a couple of weeks. I haven't followed Doman's advice for retiring and introducing cards exactly. He's reading quite a few words now but I am concerned that I probably show him too many at a time. We do it 3 times daily just before he starts to eat. Today I introduced couplets and he was really excited, can't say that for the single words except for animals with sound effect. I am thinking of buying LR but we'll probably have to skip a lot of lessons and I think I can probably manage with powerpoint. I have the following questions: 1. How many slides are appropriate for his age? 2. When you introduce couplets and phrases do you still continue with single words? I've quickly read Doman's book but that wasn't clear for me. 3. Is it worth getting LR at this stage and what is the contents in semester 1 and semester 2? Thank you so much in advance.

I have a question about Little Math. My child is 25 months old and can count to 20. Is that going to interfere with the dots system used as a basis in LM? I have downloaded the trial version but he doesn’t seem to be very interested in it? Is it worth trying LM for him?
