1  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child to Read / Help! font size & involve DS? on: May 08, 2012, 05:05:58 PM
I think we need your help, friends.
DS is not enjoyng reading as musch as math...
I noticed he turns eyes away as soon as I show him the first word, then looks again..or not.
He is much more interested in what I do with the discarded cards (put it on the floor mum, put it here mum, etc).
We previously used the bigger words cards and he did recognize the words he already knew when I showed him the smaller ones. So I printed words with a small font (1").
But I think I used a wrong font and a wronh font size.
What do you think?

Also, i noticed that the flashcards are not so funny
as before when we played together, he used to find the words, cuddle the ones he love (dad, moon), he looked for a word I asked for and gave it to me and so on; with the flashcards i use them, he just have to look and he doesn't have so much fun.
He is 2YO and doesn't want to just sit and look.
2  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child to Read / Re: how to show the flashcards- what do you say? on: May 07, 2012, 12:12:45 PM
In "how to multiply your baby's intelligence" Mr. Doman says
"...Now simply hold up the word mommy, just beyond his reach, and say
to him clearly, "This says 'Mommy.'""
And for math "Simply hold up the "one" card just beyond his
reach and say to him clearly and enthusiastically, "This is one.""

Do you say "one" "two" "three" for math also? I started yesterday and i say "this is one"
but I don't know if it is more clear or more boring...
3  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child to Read / how to show the flashcards- what do you say? on: May 07, 2012, 11:26:17 AM
How do you say when you show the flascards?
Do you say "this means CAT", "this means APPLE"
or just "CAT" "APPLE"?
It may be a silly question, but... mellow
4  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child Math / Re: math program+reading program? on: May 07, 2012, 07:38:31 AM
I would like to try a mixed session, too (math and reading)
but don't know if it is possible to do it.
Anyone out there tryed this before?
5  Parents' Lounge / For Guests - No Membership Required / Re: flash cards/old Doman method on: May 04, 2012, 09:37:11 PM
Many thanks for your answers smile
I just have to plan the sessions (math + reading? I've asked it here)
and print the first 200 words
You really helped me
and gave me new fuel LOL
6  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child Math / math program+reading program? on: May 04, 2012, 09:31:53 PM
Uhm I think i need some help  unsure
I started a while ago the reading program and would like to start the math program too, before it's too late (DS is 28 months old!).
I asked DH to do the math so i can go on with the reading, but he doesn't agree... dry
I don't think I can do 15 reading session + 10 or more math session every day (this is what the Doman book says).
So my question is: it is possible to follow a slowly program in both subjects? I mean 4 reading and 3 math per day?
Or should I focus on the math program for a few months and then add the reading one again?
7  Parents' Lounge / For Guests - No Membership Required / Re: flash cards/old Doman method on: May 03, 2012, 08:57:46 PM
Here I am again!
So we've stopped our program...I am sure that the right brain method is the best one, but am not sure about how to to use it.
As I previously wrote, my ooooold book says to test my baby after each word, then when I am sure he knows a huge number of words I should show him 2 or 3 combined words...the next step is to construct a book etc.
 With the right brain method I don't test him ,so how do I know that he is learning? How long should I show him single words before showing phrases?

I've bought the "teach your baby math" book in Italian
-this one is not an antique-
Is it possible to start the reading and math program at the same time?

Another question: when I show him 5 words quickly (5 words=5 seconds) my son says AGAIN MOMMY! as soon as I finished. But I know I should wait at least 15 minutes before doing the next session.
So...should I show him the same 5 words again? Should I increase the number of words (10-15)? Or should I just say "not now"?

Sorry for my grammar mistakes, it is really late here in Italy and my brain (left and right) is already sleeping LOL
8  Parents' Lounge / For Guests - No Membership Required / Re: flash cards/old Doman method on: February 06, 2012, 09:07:43 AM
Many thanks for your help!
I'm going on - my son WANTS to read  laugh
My book says to show one single word( es. CAT) for 10 seconds while I say "this means "CAT", many times a day.
Then test the baby "what does it mean?" when he answer "CAT" i can show him a second word.
This means a new word every 1/2 days.
Every time I should check the old words with him.

If I'm not wrong, the new method is showing many words for about a second
I'm not sure about test/no test  confused
