To sonya_post: I am glad it can inspire you. I have to say that thanks to the Doman method Alicia loves reading and she reads a lot. She is without a doubt top reader and her vocabulary is also very good. I have to say though that since school has started I started having less and less time teaching her also because she is not around that much now. Therefore I have stopped teaching like I used to do when she was a toddler, and I regret that because I found that schools in general limits the achievements and potential of our children unless are Doman's Schools.  I find it very encouraging to know what DVR has posted about her 8yr old Doman Kid having been accepted to College. That is a good incentive for me to remind myself to start teaching again like in the past. In my experience schools don't understand how much potential our kids have and instead of exploiting it they tend to frame the child into their teaching program. Both of my daughters are given books from school to read at home and these books are not suitable for them as they are far too "simple" so to say. I think that is thank mainly to our own fatigue that they can get closer to achieve their full potential.
To nkawan:
Alicia is now 8 years old.In the past, following Doman's method, I taught her also some Japanese, but then I was overwhelmed therefore I stopped doing French and Japanese. Now she is fluent in Italian, English and Spanish. We live in England but for the first 18months of her life I spoke to her only in Italian and we used to watch only Italian TV. Then when Alicia was 18 months I found out about Doman by chance and decided to give it a try. By 3 years of age she was fluent reading in both languages Italian and English. I was the sole teacher and then she hadn't even started nursery. She was always with me only.
If it can help you, you can see her in this link below when she was 3 and I recorded her with an older mobile. I ask her to read and I recorded her
because a work colleague of mine didn't believe it was possible for children to read at such a young age.
In one video she was reading in English, and in another video she chose a visual dictionary book in French, even though that day I ask her to make a video
of her reading in English only. She was so enthusiastic to learn that she wanted to do a little bit of everything.

Thank you momtobee and nkawan  . To nkawan: I am Italian and her dad's mother tongue is Spanish. She is good with accents though, I taught  her some French when she was 2 or 3 years old and her accent was really good. You can hear voice if you download a Little Reader French file called Francese 1 , Francese 3 etc , files under the name of Marialuisa. She sounds like a cute little French girl.

HI, I thought of sharing this video with you. Watch it until the end to see how she is bilingual.
 Hope it encourages you to keep up the good work!

Marialuisa thanks for your help.

I am very happy to find parents who are so worried about the language learning process of their children. When you began, there were no LR. I am very lucky and you, and many mothers who have worked without LR would to have the best prize. You have to spend a lot of time doing flashcards... Anyway, you have the best prize the evolution of your children.

This week I have ordered How ...to read by Glenn Doman. I wish this book likes me and can carry out my dream: a good accent for my little sunshine.

She was being exposed to flashcards. But she is making faces and screams... Does it happen to you?

Hi Nuria,
thank you so much for your support.
Well done to you, this is the book that will fill all the possible gaps and doubts you might have.
With regards to: "She was being exposed to flashcards. But she is making faces and screams... Does it happen to you?", I think that once you have read the book you will know how to teach her in a joyful way so that she will be the one begging you to do more and more. You will see.
Keep on sharing your experience and let me know Nuria.

Marialuisa.

Thank you!

Thanks for sharing Marialuisa. We enjoyed watching her reading. I have some of the same questions as nuria.

Hi Arvi,

I hope the answers above can help you too.

Marialuisa.

Hi Marialuisa,

I would like to make you some questions:

1. Does your daughter mix the 3 languages?  What do you do then?

2. What language programmes have you used to teach your lovely daughter? Advantages and disadvantages of these programmes, if possible.

3. What resources do you use apart from your language programmes?  Flashcards, powerpoint presentations,....

4. How often was your daughter watching the programmes every day?

5.  Do you speak the three languages native speaker?

6. How many sessions for each language?

Sorry ,I have made too many questions....   

Hi Nuria2012,

here are the answers to your questions:

1) No, she does not mix the 3 languages.

2) All I do is based entirely on GLENN DOMAN method. God bless him, he has changed my life! There are no disadvantages what so ever with his programmes, only advantages!!!

3)I use anything that I can, whatever might inspire me. E.g. self made flashcards in different languages (japanese as well), Dr Titzer flashcards, Little Reader, books, computer programmes, really anything. But I am not as persistent as I should be though, and look at my results thanks to Doman.

4)When I started there was no Little Reader I believe, so I used to spend my nights cutting and creating flashcards for my daughter to be ready the following they. That is because once you start   they learn so fast that I kept on running out of materials to show. I used to flash ten bits at the time every now and then during the day. At least 3 times a day for each material and I used to show 2 sets of cards I believe.

5) I am Italian mother tongue, my husband speaks Spanish. At home I speak Italian and when my daughter was younger we had only Italian channels on tv so she learnt English mainly through the Doman programme with my flashcards. Even though we live in London we spend the most of our time at home so Alicia did not have a proper chance to talk in English to people or to listen to people talking in English.
That worried me at first because I feared that she would have struggled with understanding and communicating at school, but as you can see in the first VIDEO, by the time she was 3 she was already pretty fluent in her English reading.   
I communicate with Daddy in Spanish and I also speak French but not really at home!

6)I just show the material every time I have a chance. Now I do it mainly with my youngerst daugher, as Alicia is an independent reader so she is not so much in need as her sister. But I still try to teach her as much as I can.           
You can find out all the answers to your questions in the book "How to teach your baby to read" from Glenn Doman, my guru!

You are welcome to ask me anything you might need to know.
I hope this can help you.

Hi,

I thought of sharing this video with you.
This is Alejandra last year:

http://youtu.be/-POBcYaEraA

Marialuisa. 

Marialuisa,
She really is an adorable little girl! And so very confident in her reading. it really was a pleasure to watch!

Just out of curiosity, does she attend school? I am hoping you will share your experience in how her EL affected her school reception.

And definitely record everything, even now! I constantly kick myself for not getting more of my daughters progress on video...we keep journals, have tons of pictures pasted in, but I am always wishing we captured so much more on video

Thank you so much Kerileanne99,

She is now attending year 2 and since she was in Reception she stand out from the rest of the class.
Her nursery teacher used to go around saying: "I 've got a genious in my class" and wanted to test her ability.
The following year I have not been that lucky as another teacher was reluctant to give Alicia books of her level.     
Currently the school is organized in a way that a class of 30 children is divided in groups of 5 tables. From the best to the least best.
When it cames to reading she doesn't even belong to the best table because she is more advanced so she reads on her own with the teacher.
That is what they tell me.
Because she has learnt to read since she was 18 months, she enjoys reading so much that she is really good with English and Italian spelling.
She reads all the time. There is no way of stopping her!
She wakes up she reads, she eat lunch she reads, she goes to the toilet she reads,she goes to the garden she reads, she goes to sleep she reads, all on her own!
I could never thank enough Doctor Doman.
It is such a relief.
When I was my daughter age I used to struggle so much at school!
I was sent to school starting from year 2 and nobody taught me previously how to read or write and I used to feel useless.
I never enjoyed school!
Thanks to Doman I have less worries now, even though it all depends on me, my organisation and my will when it cames to teaching.   
Feel free to ask me should you need to know anything else.

Marialuisa.
   

@ Korrale4kq:

thank you, I will tell her, she' ll be so pleased!

@ nuria2012

I find out about the Doman method when Alicia was 18 months. I started with Italian first, then after a few months I added English. By the time she was 2 years old I started with French as well and Spanish. In the mean while I started teaching her also Enciclopedic Knowledge and by the time she was 30 months old she knew already 2/3rd of world geography, amongst other things . Shame I did not record it then. But I am thinking of doing it now so I can, at least, show her when she will be grown up.   
Hope this helps.

Marialuisa.
