Any mom still uses real flashcard?

[fatima786]

hi there

i still use 2 sets of cards. it make me feel like i am showing my son that books and paper are just as important as a computer or tv.

i am currently in the process of making books as general knowledge resources.
i want to use a picture of say "the heart" and make an entire book out of it using domans 10 magnitudes of intelligence. those will replace the cards in the next 2 months once i have them ready.

Before I knew about YBCR and LR, when my baby was 6 months odl I made her flashacards(1-10 numbers), everyday words(mama, papa, eat,milk,more,water,i love you) and animales, also I made her sign language in flascads, everyday I showed to her onces or twice depends of her interest, now that we have YBCR and LR she stills loves flashcards, she will bring them to me for me to show them and sign with her and count...it is fun!!

that is my personal experience...hope this help.

I like those flashcards and also looking for figures he already knows on books. In this way I get to know that he is really learnig the words specially if they are not his native language.

I know I'm just jumping in on this - but is it bad to only use LR?  I haven't bought it yet, but I'm contemplating because I just know I can't keep up with making flashcards.  I'm concerned though, as the original poster said, at having my baby look at a screen so much!  When he was born, I was all about "no TV!!" - and now, he watching YBCR and signing time.... and now I'm planning on adding LR.... it just doesn't seem good (I've been looking in Montessori lately also, which emphasizes no TV as well).  Any thoughts?!  Thanks!!

What I do now is sensory flashcards or posters. For writing flashcards I use laminated writing cards that my toddler can write on (trace the pre-printed word) and wipe it off.
I take my pictures and turn them into a poster and add sensory or velcro objects to the poster. Interactive flashcards. My infant however we use original bright colored flashcards with photos. Plus we use LR, and the other power point slideshows i created.

Here lately we have been trying word walls. See pic below. I didn't add the object's pictures on there yet, but anyway you get the idea. I laminate mine and then hang them up in our school area.

When I first read Teach your baby to read the flashcards sounded like a lot of work. So I started making PPT slides. She does watch them but they don't hold her attention. A friend of mine also started with PPT and had the same issue with her 5 month old. She started making flashcards and said the he pays a lot more attention to them than he did the computer. She also said it wasn't that hard to make the cards if you had a list and schedule you were working with. I plan to start making cards, and maybe come back to the computer when she's a little older.

I'm new here. Earlier this month I began the Doman program with my 5month old. It was hard to get him to focus everything was a distraction for him. So I made the cards and have been using them for a few weeks. It is 100% easier for him to focus on the cards than the computer screen at this point.

Me, I am still using real flash cards. We have YBCR word cards & game cards, and my babies love it. I used to make my own flash cards with self-sealing laminating pouches, but I saw the YBCR double-sided sliding word & picture card on youtube, I liked the idea that you can pull the card & there will show the photo describing the word. So I convinced my hubby to buy one, we just bought the YBCR books set since we already have YBCR DVDs & it's really worth the money.

i still use really flashcards for everything
it's not that i think they are better in any way
it's just that i can't keep organized with little reader and other computer programs
i have a printed chart where i can keep track of all her lessons
so hopefully i will find a way to incorporate little reader

I have used YBCR with my daughter since she was 3 months but she seems bored of it lately so I read Doman's book and have started making my own flashcards since she turned 1.  She seems more interested since it is more interaction with me.  We still show her YBCR occasionally. 

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had found a wide accordian file folder or something like that to store your words when they're not in use?  I looked online and couldn't find anything that wide (mine are up to 22" wide).

tatianna,
Can you upload a sample of your printed chart? I use a schedule entered in a calendar and will post it in another thread.
Thanks a lot.

We used real flash cards until a few months ago, when we stopped "cards" altogether and focus more on hands-on learning. We have over 2,000 Bits of Intelligence, the Glenn Doman Math Dots, and we write our own word cards. We hope to use the cards again with blessing #2

What do you mean by 'Hands-on' learning. Is it show the actual object like going to a park? It is not showing the Bits of intelligence etc? I understando both of them complement each other.

[texaslady22]

By hands-on-learning, I mean going to the zoo. Digging in the dirt. Playing with plastic dinosaurs. Whatever REACHES your child, and whatever is FUN for both of you is what will work!!
