Dear Manda and aangeles,

Thank you so much for the input . The one that cost $900 is AMIQ, BambinoLUK is less expensive, I think is around $200 for a complete set. Thanks God that I posted the question in this forum before committing any impulsive buying    .  Will check out the funthinkers with Grolier in Malaysia  . Both of you were right that money should be spent elsewhere ... (actually I am also considering Right Start Math curriculum currently... ).

Korrale4kq, are you from Germany? Because I was told that this game had more than 30 years history in Germany. I've never seen it until I started to research about early learning for my son 

Thanks again everyone!! Good day ahead 

Hi,

I've found out about AMIQ through a local book store recently. Here's a link to their website http://www.brainet.com.my/AMIQ/AMIQ-intro.html A game for 2 years old to 12 years old. It does not required writing and consists of a controller and a variety sets of learning books. Each set of books have several exercise and focus on specific skill development. I was impressed because of the innovative contents and beautiful design but the price scared me off   It's about Malaysia Ringgit 2800 (around USD 900) They also remind me of BambinoLuk from Germany which is relatively cheaper (youtube link- <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/GjNB3edaMtM&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/GjNB3edaMtM&rel=1</a>). Has anyone used AMIQ/BambinoLUK before? If yes, appreciate your review  Thanks so much!

I came across the same problem with DS before we started using LR program. I bought quite a number of flash cards from local book stores and started using them to DS when he was about 3 months old. Those flash cards are designed with picture and word on the same page, i.e. with picture of an object at the top and then the word at the bottom. He was able to recognise almost all the pictures but not words. Thank God that I found this forum and learned from all the amazing parents here. Then I started to change my whole approach in teaching DS when he was about 16 months old. For new words (words that are new to DS), I flashed the word and clearly read the word to him and then followed by the picture. For words that he already know, I will just do away with the picture. However during that time DS was learning to walk, so to get him sitting still and looking at the flash cards was quite challenging. So, I did the flash card session during his milk time (as he would lie down quietly).. . I know this may sounds weird ....but he was entertained and at the same time enjoying his milk . And being a full time working mum, I only manage to do one flash card session with DS during the weekdays. Besides, LR is really of great help to me as it save a lot my time in sourcing/preparing the flash cards. It provides a structured curriculum to DS and many parents here do share their resources for download. Most importantly, DS really loves the program  . Other than LR, I also used Your Baby Can Read, leapfrog letter factory and words factory. DS started to recognise few words (without looking at the picture) and read them out when he was 19 months...
