Is there a way how to use keaybor instead of mouse to PLAY LESSON in Little Math? I know it is possible to go to the next session but is there a key to press to start in the beggining instead of using a mouse? Thank you for your help.

Hello everyone!

I have great news for those of you that speak Czech or Slovak. Me and my friend Reňa (her BK username is "lelask") try to bring information about early learning and its benefits to Czech and Slovak parents.

So if you are interested in early education and/or have any experiences or questions about early learning-  we will be more than happy if you join us and help us spread the word in Czech republic and Slovakia. Our children deserve it!!!

We are looking forward to your questions, experiences, thoughts, ideas and opinions.

Please, can I have them, too? Thank you. Martina

[I would like to upload categories that have chance to become premium (to get points for my work) :-).]

Kezia, thank you for the explanation. It make sense that way :-).
I created some (mostly Czech) categories for my daughters which I am going to share with others. I created many story-type categories for Little Reader - they have one picture coming with each text slide (with sentence of the story and it has pronunciation, of course). But some of them has MANY slides (one of them has more then 50 slides, many of them has about 20-30 slides).
I would like to upload categories that have chance to become premium (to get points for my work) :-).
Is one picture coming with each sentence of the story enough?
Can I upload very long stories in parts or should I upload the story as one category even if it has 20, 30 or more slides?
Thank you for your advice....

Hi Kezia, thank you for your  explanation.
I would like to understand the system that is why I have one more question. :-) Attached please see another  print-screen from BK library - it shows some files for 0 (paid) which you explained in your post. But it shows also a file that states 100 (paid). If it is paid (downloaded by me), why does it still show 100?
Thank you.
Martina

I understand that someone can get 2000 points if he/she buys BK product using someones affiliate code. What if I buy BK product for someone else using my affiliate code, will I receive those points? Or would he receive those points? Or nobody in this case?
Thank you.

I attached printscreen of some filtered files that I have created and uploaded long time ago... Cost of some of them is 0, cost of some of them is 0 but there is a note (paid) and cost of some of them is 100.  What are the files for 0 (paid)??? What does it mean? And those for 100 - it seems like I shoud "pay" for them...

Thank you for your advice but if I go to My files in my account management page, they are not there and it states I am supposed to go to find them searching in the forum. And there if I want to download them the system lets me know that I would "pay" for them.   


As I mentioned above, I found one post by Lappy stating the rules for files to get chance to be approved as premium files.  Here they are:

The BrillKids administrators will be judging the files according to the overall quality of the lesson and content, but here are some specific points which we will consider during the approval process:

     •   Lesson Content (Mandatory)
          o   Number of Slides - minimum number of slides are set to 5. We discourage breaking up lessons in small separate files just to increase chances of getting more points. All lessons must be standalone and complete in themselves.

     •   Pronunciation Files (Mandatory, especially for foreign language Little Reader files!)
          o   Clarity of Recording - your recordings have to be loud and clear, with no disturbing noises in the background.
          o   Accuracy of Pronunciation - make sure that you are pronouncing the word(s) accurately, to ensure that you are able to teach your child the correct pronunciation.

     •   Images  (Mandatory!)
          o   Number of Images per Word - the more the better (recommended: at least 3)!
          o   Image quality - the pictures should be clear and concise; it should convey the meaning of the word or concept well.
          o   Image size - to avoid the hassle of massive file sizes, we recommend that you resize your photos to at least 640x480 with a maximum of 1024x768pixels. To learn more about how to resize your images, please see this FAQ.

     •   Picture Audio (Highly Recommended!)
          o   Clarity of Recording - your recordings have to be loud and clear, with no disturbing noises in the background.
          o   Accuracy of Pronunciation - make sure that you are pronouncing the word(s) accurately, and use this function to encourage your child to interact with the lesson.
          o   Relevance to the Word File

     •   Videos (Recommended!)
          o   Length of Video Clips - 2-5 second video clips to help demonstrate the word or concept
          o   File Format - Preferably in flash (SWF) format for smaller file size. BrillKids has no video converter software to specifically recommend, but there are many good ones available for free over the internet.

     •   Creativity of the Lesson Concept

Apart from the pronunciation files and the images, the rest of the criteria are fairly flexible.  As always, we will judge the quality of the Little Reader file based on the overall feel of the lesson, and how well the media content reinforces the learning process.

I would like to download my own premium files because I created them and uploaded to BK library long time ago and I do not have them stored in my computer anymore. It seems like I have to pay with my points for my own premium files to download them. Is that correct?

I would like to preview them to see why they were upgraded as premium - they are very similar to other my categories that are not premium. I wonder why :-). I would like to re-do my old files to help them to become premium. I understand that following the rules stated here - http://forum.brillkids.com/little-reader/brillkids-criteria-for-approving-little-reader-files-as-premium-content/ would help. Are the chances the same for foreign languages files?  What are the correct steps that I should take? Should I download my old files, re-do them, export them from my LR and ???? What shoud I do next to retain downloads of my old files??? Thank you for your directions. :-)

Ahojky,
vítej na tomto skvělém fóru!!!

Jak staré máš holčičky? A jak ses dozvěděla o raném vzdělávání (píšeš o technice čtení) a jak ses dostala na toto fórum?

Moc nerozumím tvé otázce - jaké problémy máš s flash kartami? Jaké dostupné, které ti nevyhovují, máš na mysli? Já používám program Little Reader, pro angličtinu i pro češtinu, a připadá mi úžasný!!!! Nic není potřeba kopírovat ani laminovat! :-)

Dej vědět, co tě zajímá a moc ráda ti pomůžu, pokud budu víc rozumět tvým otázkám! :-)
Martina

Reňa, I am sorry! As I wrote to you personally - you are my friend and you know that my husband had malignant tumor as well :-(. But I was NOT definitely in your shoes because we were VERY lucky and one operation solved everything. But I definitely agree that mental health is a big part of physical health and physical problems show psychical ones. I recommend to add treatment of soul and mind of your mum as well. I go to kinesiology treatment myself and I would recommend it!
I pray for your mum to recover and for you to manage everything!

Míšo, řekla bych, že jakýkoliv kontakt malého dítěte s cizím jazykem je přínosný... I když se třeba "nenaučí tím jazykem mluvit", myslím, že to má obrovské výhody pro snadnější učení jazyka do budoucna.
