YBCR vs LM/LR please?

[FloridaMom]

sveta09: Make sure you read about the YCCR before buying. I'm not sure, but it seems as if it's a beginner course like the YBCR, but it's for a child who has not been exposed to the YBCR or other learning programs. I'm not sure if it's a natural progression, or just a YBCR for older children.

I checked their website and it says Your Child Can Read! 5 DVD Set Graduate Your Baby to the next level! Your Child Can Read is the next step in your child’s advanced language development. • Combines the best of phonics and whole word learning methods • Teaches children to read with comprehension using word, image and phonetic sound association. •
And the posters from from another topic say that they had YBCR and now using YCCR. I think we'll be fine. Thx for the heads up terrahmother. Will read more on this topic just to make sure it is good for us.

I have found this topic very informative. I was very much against word recognition programmes such as YBCR and LR (preferring phonics), but I was prepared to listen to the arguments. I now recognise the beauty of using both with my little one (just turned 2). We're 24 hrs into the 14 day LR trial and although she's easily distracted it appears to be going well. I'm about to purchase YBCR and want to know what benefits the DELUXE kit has over the BASIC kit. Deluxe costs on average £85 ($128) and includes:

• 5 DVD's
  5 Wipe clean word cards
  1 Erasable pen
  5 Lift a flap books
  50 Flash cards
  82 Double-sided word cards
  1 Parents guide
  3 Free gifts

The BASIC kit costs about £30 ($45)and includes:

• 5 DVD's
  50 Flash cards or 50 double sided sliding cards

We intend going on to purchase LR and LM so we need to make good financial choices. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

I'm so pleased to have come across this site and look forward to contributing to this great resource.

We have a Delux set
5 DVD's
5 Wipe clean word cards +1 Erasable pen - didn't use it too much, got a doodle thing later
5 Lift a flap books - my daughter loves them (it has words, pictures and sentences)
50 Flash cards (I think they mean sliding cards here) - loved them
82 Double-sided word cards (I think they come in the basic set too) - loved them
1 Parents guide
3 Free gifts: loved the book that comes here, never really listen to those CDs.

All in all from the Delux set we loved sliding cards, lift a flap books and a book with sliding words.
The difference in price is huge and it's up to you to decide. I don't regret getting a delux variant, beacuse my daughter is still crazy about those lift a flap books and sliding cards (I guess she just likes the idea of playing peek-a-boo with the words).

We got the Deluxe set.  Apart from the dvd, the sliding cards, the lift a flap books and the book with the sliding words was my son's favourite.

I am very glad I got the deluxe kit. All of the materials are very well made, and we got a lot of use out of them. They are very good for reinforcing the videos and even doing reviews. In fact, I think my son learned more from them than the videos.

I appreciate your responses re: the benefits of the deluxe kit. You leave me in little doubt that the deluxe kit is for us. I'll keep you informed as to how we get on.
