K mama's out there I need your help yet once again. I am wanting to know if anyone has ever seen or used Your Baby Can Read and how it works. If it works the way that you see on their website and on the infommercials then I want to purchase this to give my 2 year old a head start. I just want to know before I spend the money.

Purchase the book How to Teach Your Baby to Read by Glenn Doman. It explains the process (book was written in the 1960's) and is way cheaper than buying the kit... The people who made the kit just did what it says in this book!

I started my son the week of his 2nd b-day. 5 days later he read his first word. He loves his words, and asks to do them often. Don't listen to people telling you that 2 year olds can't or shouldn't read. They are wrong (there is a whole section in the book about this topic). As long as you and your baby are having fun, why shouldn't they read?

It is a time consuming process, but well worth it!

Good luck,

A.

There are a few other requests about thsi sae thing, go and do a quick search through the archives and you'll see responses there. But yes, I have used it. I wouldn't say it teaches reading, but it helps with vocab. If you are going to allow them to watch DVDs you may as well use these as anything else. Certainly doesn't hurt. Just DO NOT push the child to watch if he/she isn't interested. Get them cheap on ebay!

Taught both my children to read when they were three and they were fluent by age 4. They were both ready-some children are not. I am a reading teacher, so I did use a lot of pre-reading techniques and integrated phonics with phonemic awareness (rhymes, alliteration etc...)I made it a game and before I knew it, they were both reading and loving it! I do believe that all children have different timelines-do not force, if there is no interest. I do think that by the time a child is 4 or 5 they are ready for "light" formal instruction. The window (when it is easier for their brains to acquire the information and set up the "connections") is between four and seven years. It becomes harder to teach a child the reading process after this...hope this helps
