Flash cards with words and pictures versus just words

[Joha]

Ayesha,

Thank you so much for laying all down this way (karma to you!). It definetly makes more sense now. It is kind of funny because I think that without really knowing this was the approach we have been using. I think putting the labels around the home has been helping with this process of knowing the words of things around her. For her body, we did used the flash cards here in the site, but your point is great so I can work on other parts of her body and also do them in spanish.

I'm still reading Doman's book. I'm not a fast reader at all (issue I'm hoping my daughter won;t have  ) that is why I'm still asking sooo many questions!

Thanks again for your time!

Dear Joha,

Certainly - any time.  I am far from an expert.  What I noticed is that both methods are connecting the written words with the sounds simultaneously, and use pictures/interactive/multi-sensory methods - just at slightly different times - with the entire teaching basis being JOYFUL!

I personally am creating a spreadsheet with all of YBCR materials in order to create more couplets/phrases/sentences in LR that will be completed soon.  I cannot imagine how much time it takes to create EK materials!  I am still working on Reading materials and anxious about beginning the Math program once I am more comfortable with LM.   

I love BrillKids forums because the members are supportive and encouraging!

Ayesha,

I know, as I just posted in toher topic, I don't know what I would do without this forum. There are some many things, programs and questions that you could go like a dog chasing its tale. Anyways, I would love to se your speesheet is you are ok sharing it since I should be starting YBCR in about a week or so.

My husband and I were talking about the EK materials and we are just going to do it little by little while we do the reading and the math program. We were thinking about bying the BITS from Doman's website, but they are kind of price and it looks you won't use them for very long. So we are not sure yet is we are going to get some from gentlerevolution and do some or just go ahead and do all of them. The other think is that there are a lot of pp files here which are definetly time savers. The thing is that we have looked a couple of the files and have found some mistakes, so you really need to make sure the info is correct before you show it to your child. Some of them are just impressive!

I'm sure I'll meet you again in one of the topics. I seem to see you in the same areas I'm interested.

Dear Joha,

I just remembered that the IAHP Reading Kit has words only in each step, and the book has pictures. 

I hope that we are able to purchase the EK Deluxe Kit from IAHP sometime in the near future.  And once I read the book and understand the program, I plan to purchase the bits as our family budget will allow - even if only one per month, as well as using materials from here.

This is a labor of love for our children!

Ayesha,

Which book are you talking about?    Why would you buy the whole set instead of just the BITS? I just want to know your point of view. I'm sure you know they are having 20% off on all the kits so it may be worth it to get it now. I'm just not sure about the categories they include in it. Also, do you know what the DVD is about? Is it to be shown to the baby or is for the parents?

We are trying to maximize our resources so I's trying to get all the "facts" of the different products in order to make the final decision

Dear Joha,

The IAHP Reading Kit is for How to Teach Your Baby to Read with the premade flashcards for each step, plus the book and I got the DVD as well.

The IAHP EK Kit includes several sets of bits and I believe it depends on what is available.  I ordered one set of bits on Insects because I was curious to see what the format is, even though I do not even have the EK book yet.  I have planned to order the Deluxe EK Kit, with the EK book and DVD lecture (for parents); in order to know how to use the bits, and hopefully before April 30th to receive the Spring Sale 20% discount. 

Did that answer your question?

Dear Ayesha,

Thank you so much for the reply. Could you let me know what were you referring to in this post?

[Ayesha Nicole]

Dear Joha,

To the original post of using flashcard with pictures or words only.  And my selection of 200 words of items that my children are familar with so I do not feel the need to use pictures with LR at this point.  For couplets - maybe.  For phrases - books, I will use pictures defintely.  The IAHP Reading Kit has flashcards (words only) for each step and the book, Enough Inigo, Enough, has pictures on pages following the sentences.

Ahhh!!! Now I get it. Now I know what you were talking about. Thanks again for the info! Have a wonderful day!

Thanks the discussions have helped me to decide to go for teaching a word with a picture ....

I have started with couple of weeks back with the flash cards. So right now I am showing pictures too. Let's see how the sessions progress then I think I would be in a position to decide which approach to take depending on my child's comfort level/ interest.

Hello Everyone!

After this long debate I wanted to give everyone my feedback. I initially printed the flash cards from this website, laminated them and was doing each word and fliping the card to show the picture while I was repeting the word. The first couple of days my daughter was paying attention, but then she wasn't into it. I put them aside for a week and then started again. She was fine with the first words, but after that she will look away, which meant session was over! Yesterday I started showing her just the words and she is doing great.   I realized I wasn't flashing the cards fast enough for her and she was getting bored.

With YBCR, she likes the video, laughs while watching it, but once I want to show her the word cards (the ones that you open to show the picture) she doesn't want to do anything with them.

Now, after I'm done showing her the words I flip the cards and show the picture while I say the word, she is attentive, but I want to get some comments on this. Should I just eliminate the pictures for now all together? Or just doing it like I'm doing it now, flashing all the words first and then all the pictures?
