 Better than learning to read using the traditional phonics method November 14, 2008

I started showing these DVDs to my daughter when she was 7 months. She was reading from flashcards at 1, sounding out words at 18 months and reading books at 2. My 8 month old is watching them now and she really enjoys them. She smiles and waves her arms.
My older child is now 3. One thing that amazes me is that she has better reading skills than 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders I have heard reading. I'm not sure if learning earlier improves reading ability or if there is something about this method.
When children learn phonics at school they go through drills to learn the sounds of each letter. Sounding out letters is slow and definitely not a fun way to learn to read. It could be enough to kill a child's love of reading. A child who watches these DVDs figures out letter sounds on their own. As Titzer's website says, if a child knows bat, cat, house and hippo they can figure out the word hat.
When my daughter comes across new one syllable words she can quickly figure them out. When she comes across a word with multiple syllables she pronounces each syllable. She never has to sound out the individual letters. I think this is why she reads much better than older kids who have learned using the traditional phonics method. She can figure out unfamilar words much more quickly. As a result, she reads more quickly and can focus on the story instead of focusing on the individual words. This makes reading more enjoyable.
Anyway, I'm very impressed with these DVDs and glad that my children won't have to learn to read using the traditional phonics method.
Good for toddler November 11, 2008

Good for toddler, my son use this product since 7 months. He really enjoy it.
only 3 weeks into this system and he's not reading yet, but.... October 8, 2008

...he has learned how to clap correctly, and he started saying the word cat. (we don't have a cat so I know that's where he's learning it... whenever he sees a neighborhood cat he yells out the word cat and points)
I started showing him the first video twice a day for just over 3 weeks now. The Dr. says that it will take them a while to learn the first words, but I'm trying not to set my sites real high. I do think this will at the very least help my son learn that letters aren't just an ABC song, they relate to everything around us.
I love to watch it with him because it's a really fun video; I even hear my husband humming the catchy music. I can't wait to move on to the next video to see how the system progresses.
This video is the simplest system to use. I actually read the directions 4 times because I thought I was missing something. He also LOVES to play with the slide cards. It's so much fun that if he does learn how to read it won't seem right because there's little work involved; AND if he doesn't, oh well, at least it was fun!! I say buy these tapes for the mere fact that it's educational and it will hold his attention (and mine for that matter) and if something more comes of it, it's an added plus. I suggest buying them for a more reasonable price than on the infomercial though.
