I have not yet read "Your Baby Can Read", but plan to get it from the library soon.
Today I used some homemade cards with my 11 month old. I used cardstock cut in half-lengthwise. I printed in red ink the names of our family members and the word "family". I used them twice today in different locations, trying to get a feel for where is best. My 3 year old DD came over and listened/watched some too (she can only pick out a few of the names herself and seemed to enjoy the flashing more than I would have expected).
My questions:
Where do you and your baby sit?
I think I read somewhere that 3 repetitions a day for 10 days is optimal, is that what you do?
If you don't "test", in what ways do you know your child is recognizing the words? And what is a typical time frame for seeing your baby recognize words?
Do you stick with one set of words for 10 days, or do you mix it up? And in what way?
Thanks!
