Thank you for the imput!

Your experience sounds like a very successful one.Fantastic!!

I particularly liked the idea of using flash cards at the last day session as they play with them afterwards.

Cheers

I am using a laptop... standard one and although it is not practical to attach it on the TV, I am considering doing it when I get to couplets and sentences (otherwise I think the computer screen will be too small).

At one point he lost interest so I started adding photos by moving the word down and then adding them on the space above.

I sit my kid on my lap while going through the presentation. To be honest, I did not consider being behind the screen at all. By being close to him, I find the interaction way more interesting than showing cards.

I hope that helps.

Have you started with the program? How is your experince going if so?

Cheers

Hi Izp11

Thank you for your contribution to this topic.

It is quite reassurance to know about your experience as I am most inclined to use PP rather than FC. It is certainly faster to put it together, I agree.

I randomize manually just by dragging slides up and down. I am unaware of a more efficient alternative unfortunately to help you... sorry .

Thanks again.

Cheers

Thanks a lot PokerDad

I totally agree with the points you made... It is quite relative I suppose.

My child is very active and can't wait to grab the cards. Sometimes he is to egger to do it and then I struggle to simple show the cards/words... He is not the type that seats still for too long... PP seems to be working better. I have watched several videos where kids are just watching the cards been flipped and they don't attempt to grab them. I can't make my kid behave like that....

I guess the  is either way the child will learn isn't it?

Thanks again.

If a child lives in a two languages environment it seems that there can be a delay in speech development by up to 6 months compared to the average child.

Not sure if it is the case of your friend but I just thought to share it

Cheers

Is there any difference between using Flash Cards or PowerPoint when teaching your child how to read?

Dear all

I am a new member (2 days old   ) and I am already loving some of the topics discussed... fantastic!


What do you all think about using PowerPoint rather than flash cards as normally recommended?

Do you think it is less effective?

Will the output be the same with PowerPoint?

I would love to hear your opinion on this, based on your experiences, as I am trying to figure it out which one is best or if at the end it does not matter.

Thank you members.

Cheers
