We have been doing a loose version of the Doman reading program, although we have been very lax lately. He views the YBCR videos almost daily, he's on video 3 now. And of course we do LR almost daily also.
Lately we have been doing LR instead of flash cards. I do random categories, the ones he likes the best and I also show him the YBCR sets that I made.
He knows some baby signs for diaper, dog, and bird and will grab his ear (most of the time) when asked. I started noticing that he would grab his ear as soon as the word came up also doing the sign for diaper, dog and bird when he saw those words. It seemed to me that he would respond even before the word was pronounced so I did a little experiment.
I turned the pronunciation off on the YBCR set that I have been showing him. We casually scrolled through the words and he watched but ss soon as "ear" popped up he grabbed his ear! He didn't do anything for any of the other words though. I was so excited, to say the least.
It's funny though how they really do not like to be tested because when I tried to do it again he refused and wanted to be done. So stubborn!!
This is so motivating! I guess we will get back to our more regular program. YEAH!!!
