Hi,
I know according to Doman, no testing when using flashcards. We've been using Baby Sign Language flashcards to expand my 13mo's sign vocabulary to great effect, I show her the card and we do the sign together (which is kinda of testing isn't it?) but I notice she is clearly less excited to do ASL flashcards than when we do LR, Chinese flashcards, Doman Math App on the iPad and Bits of Intelligence. We only started doing BST videos (2 months ago) 2-3x/week during "TV time" and the other days we watch Baby Learns Chinese as supplement to the Chinese flashcards we use. Before that we just introduced signs as we went along using the words but found that there were some words that we didn't use often that she wouldn't have opportunity to learn without the cards.
Is there another way to use ASL/BSL flashcards, showing her the sign but not requiring her to be tested? Given her disenchantment (she doesn't hate it, she'll do it, but i can see less excitement than the other stuff) Do you think I should stop the BSL flashcards for a period of time or do something else? Although I'd rather not, I just don't want her to think we always need testing...
