Some people such as the author of "Raise a smarter child by kindergarten" David Perlmutter suggests that TV and other artifucial lights can cause early puperty. "TV viewing as well as prolonged exposure to artificial light suppresses the production of a hormone called melatonin that helps regulate sexual development...Artificially suppressing melatonin, however, could cause a child to go into puberty prematurely." (106) But I don't see how using flash cards for a few minutes a day would be a big problem. You also have the option of printing them out... so you can limit the time even more.

Things that children will see outside.
Maybe some easy to read stories: Jane went swimming. She likes swimming..
I also think that there could be files to download by level/ instead of category inorder to help parents who aren't sure where to start or how much a child can remember at a time etc. (level one) 3 animals, 1 shape, 1 action
