Thankfully my daughter is showing some "output" now which "proves" my husband I know what I'm doing (kind of anyways?!) but how much I spend on educational tools for my kids is a very frequent discussion in our house. LOL

Mr. VP needs to take that 10K math program and divide it up over 10 years.....even that wouldn't be enough at 1,000 a year! But seriously, that huge package needs to be broken up into years, the astronomical price aside, no one wants to commit to a 10 year math program without knowing anything about it for starters! (I am guessing on the time frame).

He should give it away to about 5 people on this site and get some buzz going if it really is that good, and then those people would review, make a real FAQ to post on his site, take pictures, etc. It would be a great marketing trick. And maybe team up with BK for an affiliate program too.

Oh and Monique- I have an issue when clicking on the 2-6 program too, try again but click your mouse *just a bit* higher and it should work. The website is funny, I have accidentally clicked on the other a bunch of times too.

There's a new more detailed example clip for the Visual Primer on Youtube.

I just wanted to update this thread.

My original question (written when DD was 19.5 months) was how long will it take her to make the leap from sight reading to phonics? As I posted very excitedly in another thread, the answer is about 2.5 months. We did a lot of you tube phonics songs/chants in the beginning, then leapfrog talking word factory (skipped talking letter factory because she already knew the basic letter sounds). My Montessori House DVD's seemed to make the differance though as we introduced them in the last month or so. She verbally demonstrated "hhhhh ahhhhh ttttt.......HOT!" one day out of the blue. Then I swapped out the H for R and she read ROT And later WAX which we've never taught her.

Now I know she gets it, I pulled out DadDude's Fleschcards Set 1 today (which she wasn't really into two months ago although we did do them somewhat for a while) and she read all of them. So now I need to go buy more cardstock (I  should go to the office supply store and buy this stuff in bulk! I just had to buy an office grade printer last month when I killed our old one) so I can print off more sets of Fleschcards.

I would be very interested to hear more from you about your daughter's progress, LilyAndOwensMom! I have started showing YBCR DVDs to my daugher about 2 months ago, I did not really test her or anything, so I had no idea if any of it was working. Then a week or two ago I printed out a few of the words from Vol 1 and she could recognise them without a problem! So I printed more and if she struggled to remember any of them, I would only need to prompt her once or twice for the word to settlle. So these DVD's have saved me a lot of work.
So I am now thinking of moving onto phonics and have been looking at Progressive Phonics and DadDude's Fleschcards, although I am not sure if I should first go through all YBCR words since those seem to be sinking in?

I would do both with my kid probably. I plan to start phonics sooner with my son, that's for sure. I don't see any harm in YBCR though and my kids seem to really like it, so I would probably just do both at the same time, I think it can only help.

I absolutely adore the preschool prep company, their videos are so suitable for the really young kids without a lot of distracting background or plots. I am impatiently waiting for Meet the Phonics to come out, it's supposed to before the end of the year. I will probably start my son with that when he mastered the shapes, colors, numbers, and letters videos, along with the Discovery Toys/Barbara phonics Chant on youtube, a favorite in our house. My montessori house DVD's seem great at teaching word building but I'd prefer something a little more straight forward for starting out, I am really hoping Meet the Phonics will accomplish that beautifully, they exceeded my expectations on every other DVD we've purchased from them.

And i just have to laugh that today My Montessori House posted an article on facebook today that says "absolutely no tv before age two!".....I wanted to post that their very videos are what pushed my daughter over the hump to begin sounding out phonics at 22 months  LOL .....but I resisted. LOL
