Hi and welcome to the Forum!

Brillkids Products are designed to be used on Windows OS.  I personally used Little Reader, Little Math and Little Musician on Mac by running it with Bootcamp.

If you are talking of actual files in the library, they are designed to be viewed and used in Little Reader Programm

Hope this helps

There are thousands of flashcards in over 2 000 various categories in English. You can download and use them with Little Reader PRO program. In the program there are many settings that allow you customize the viewing. Feel free to ask any other questions, we will be happy to help!
33  BrillKids Software / Little Reader - General Discussion / Re: What to do once the curriculum is over? on: October 20, 2015, 04:57:06 AM
Anastasia, curriculum will get you started, and will lay an amazing solid foundation, but then the sky s a limit. For example BK library here has thousands of free categories of words both for learning to read and for Encyclopedic Knowledge and language development. You can also add your own if you like.

I have 3 kids and I also add their short educational lessons and videos to LR, because Little Reader has an amazing function of scheduling and organizing anything you put into it in a a custom designed course, completed with review cycle, etc. So you can chose all the different lessons and categories available in the free library and then just with a few clicks of the mouse transform them into a course!

Feel free to ask questions, will be very happy to answer!

Welcome to the Forum! It is wonderful to have you here! My first daughter was about your baby's age when we started with Early Learning, and it was an exciting journey for us with her and her two younger siblings. They are a living proof that Early Learning works and they cant stop thanking me enough for teaching them to read, among other things.

There are some other people from Romania here. I am not, but we have visited your beautiful country a few times.

Yes, you can add any media to your Little Reader lessons. So if you have created custom animation and saved it, you can add it to the lessons you are working on. In order to create animation, you would need to use some kind of specialized program.

40  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child - Signing, Speaking, Languages / Additional Resources for teaching childen Spanish as a foreign language on: February 09, 2015, 08:53:29 AM
We have been successfully using Little Reader Spanish with 3 of our children.

Recently we have been discussing some of the supplement materials EL parents are using for teaching their children Spanish. I would like to list some of the ones that we use personally and mention the ones that were recommended by others.


Little Pim Spanish -- we did not use it, but we used Little Pim Mandarin and liked it a lot, so I assume their Spanish version would be great as well ( And it's free for Amazon prime members)

Bilingual English-Spanish Series by Sarah Jordan Publishing.  They come as audios with work-sheets and lesson plan for each song, which is really neat, as each song can be done as a mini-lesson on it own.

Elementary Spanish from Discovery Education. In general we love immersion programs for young learners, with our oldest being 6 though we realized that she actually enjoyed more of a slower pace bilingual Spanish lessons, there are more then 100 lessons there, they slowly progress from learning some basic words, greetings and on to more advanced concepts, there is a lot of review already built in, and each set of lessons comes with teachers guide and Black Line Masters, which is also very helpful. They are not for very young learners, but can be a good solution for kids 5+

We love listening to Spanish songs. Twin Sisters Spanish is good, for example

Whistlefritz are somewhat similar to Little Pim and would work really well together with Little Pim for young kids

Wink to Learn Spanish - more like a flashcard program, we used it before we got Spanish Little Reader, did not see the need for it, once Spanish Little reader was released as LR has many many time more words and more well rounded, but I heard that others liked it a lot!

Feel free to add the programs that you use and love!


41  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child to Read / Re: This toddlers/children reading program seems to be great! need your opinion PLZ on: December 30, 2014, 11:18:32 PM
It can be used with babies and toddlers. The course is designed for 1 year ( 2 lessons a day), but you can do it as fast or as slow as your child would  like, it would largely depend on your child. In addition it can be used with other additional materials from BK Free library and more, depending on your child's interest. All my children were reading by the time they started to talk. And by 3 yo they were reading absolutely everything, regardless of how difficult the language was . Now at 5 yo my daughter reads faster then me with excellent retention and comprehension, she prefers to read books at about 4th and 5th grade level ideally though, my sun at 4 yo can spell almost any word, reads books from 3rd grade ( science, non-fiction and some fiction) and they continually tell everyone how reading is their most favorite activity. I attribute it to the fact that hey learned early and did not experience any pressure while learning, so all they know of reading that it is fun, inspiring and easy.
42  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child to Read / Re: This toddlers/children reading program seems to be great! need your opinion PLZ on: December 29, 2014, 11:55:04 PM
We used Little Reader and native Reading approach ( reading a lot of books together, following each word with our finger and paying attention to individual words and letters).

Little Reader is done, so even if you would repeat the very same lesson again and again, your child would see the words written with different fonts, in different color, red by different voice and illustrated by different pictures, videos and sentences. Pattern phonics would teach them phonic pattens and rules in a native way, exactly how children learn to speak. So I would not worry about "memorizing the shapes".

All of my kids were early readers, when they started reading they were reading any word that they saw, not just the words that they've seen during their previous lessons. They figured out phonic rules intuitively, and were capable of applying these rules easily and automatically to any words they were seeing.

So Little Reader was a perfect fit for all of our kids.
43  BrillKids Software / Little Math - General Discussion / Re: Changing Little Maths to be closer to Doman Method on: December 29, 2014, 05:57:12 AM
We used Little math program, following Doman recommendations! It is so easy to adjust it,and it is really flexible.

When you go to Play and Edit, you can change all the setting you want, then put "Override ON" and it is ready. The good thing, you can change everything for the whole course at once.

What we did, we changed everything to red dots for the first few months ( that way it was no distraction and my baby liked it), I changed the progression and how fast we went through all the cards. It worked really well.

45  BrillKids Software / Little Reader - General Discussion / Re: Changing LR to include more Encyclopedic Knowledge? Can you cycle through facts? on: December 24, 2014, 03:24:22 AM
Hi,

Yes, wen you add multiple audio files to the pictures it would automatically cycle through them

I attached the screen shots, they should be pretty self explanatory, but if you have any other questions, do ask!

By the way, if you would like you can share your EK facts you would add with others!

Happy Holidays!
