I found this website with lots of BOI. Enjoy 
http://www.theclassicalmommy.com/bitscollection.html
I donât know all the details (yet) involved in making poiâs and boiâs but Iâm slowly learning.
One thing I plan to do is get my older boys (8 and 10) involved in the research for the info needed. They love to be on the computer for just about anything and I know they would love to be involved with this âprojectâ to help their little brother.
This way they are learning and it will save me some time. I am a big planner so I really want to have a lot of what I need ready before I begin. Otherwise, like you said domanmom, I will get overwhelmed and wonât be consisitent.
So much to do, so much to doâŚ
Way to go sb1201! Getting your older children involved is a great idea, not only because they will be learning the information themselves and toning up on their research skills, but also because they will probably remember it much better because they are actually learning for a reason - to help teach their little brother! And what miracles this will do for their self-confidence, knowing that they are helping a little person to learn about the world.
here is how to start the EK program
remember these are just lists to give you ideas of where to start and how to do it
donât feel like you have to doing everything
the important thing is to try and give your child a very broad base of knowledge
so try to pick a few from a lot of different subjects
i personal make bits from material i have easily available so although i am doing most of the categories i donât always make them in the in the right order
and i make a lot of bits that are not on the list but that i think are important
if you have any questions please write me
have fun
tatianna :happy:

Wow! Thanks! That will help get me started for sure. :yes:
glad to help
i will post the formulas for making POI later
itâs museâs birthday so got to run
oh by the way sb1201
search the downloads before you get started making bits
because a lot of people (myself include) have made downloads of some of the categories already and that can save you a lot of work
Thanks for posting tatianna! Also to add to that is that within the categories, there are as many categories as there is knowledge! The first ten things listed are just general examples.
It would be great if we all could post our ideas for categories and sets (for example, a âcategoryâ would be âStates of the USAâ and a âsetâ within that category would be âEastern Statesâ) I know that I have a list a mile high of different categories and sets, and I would love to share and it would be great if others could too. (I just need to get my list together - right now itâs somewhat âspread outâ as tons of notes in various places). I should start a new thread, one for each of the ten divisions of knowledge where people can add their ideas of sets and categories to do in that division.
:yes:
yes there is so much you can do
i have made close to 350 bits just for art alone
in addition to the artist he mentions there are so many other really great ones as well
i am working on Renaissance artists right now
i bought a book on it for $15 and will get at least 100 bit out of it
in the book on EK doman talks about making the first magnitude of intelligence for each bit in your program
than after you taught that one to do the next one
i have been making the whole POI for each bit
but that takes a lot of time
what does everyone else do?
HI Tatianna, DomanMom and Heyblue41,
I have a GREAT link to do the POI. I was buying the DVDĂ´s from Discovery Channel and from the DVDĂ´s I would print out some Bits and prepare the BOI all at once. BUT, I learned about this site www.cosmeo.com which has every type of educational films prepared or bought by the Discovery Channel. If you are an american you can sign up for a one month free trial and than pay a montly fee of 10USD. If you are from another country you have to find a friend in American who would do that for you.
This site was my best investment.
Also I would like to make myself available to prepare the POI programs with you guys. Tatiana, I was so happy to see how well you organized the subjects and open it up by sub-subjects. I have been struggling in getting myself organized and create a well organized and consistent program. I have been crying with that everyday and everyday I find myself overwhelmed. I go to bed thinking about my kid and I struggle every night knowing that my kid is getting old for the program. I know that my kid is young, 2,5 years old, but we all know that everyday important and vital for the brain connections. I think that everyone of us went through the same process.
Finally DomanMom inspired me in starting the math program. I am happy now and less understress. I can sleep better because I know I have a group of parents whom are working together to prepare the program. Also I have a place to make my questions and have them answered.
Anyway please check www.cosmeo.com
Regards,
Adriane
Hello Tatianna,
I enjoy reading your art POIs. Thank you for sharing them.
I have started making country POIs for my daughter Penny who loves maps at the moment because her Nana and Pa flew to the UK recently and Grandma has set off to see the East Coast of Australia in her motor home.
After reading about Encyclopedic Knowledge in the Doman book âHow to Multiply Your Babyâs Intelligenceâ I am still a little in the dark about what you mean when you refer to the âformulasâ.
Could you please explain more about them.
Hi there,
I just thought I would share a website where you might find some useful information. In the kids section of the met museum of art website there are bits and pieces of information on artists, ancient history etcâŚ
Below is the link and I have found the section titled For kids to try right now! to be particularly useful for finding information that is suitable for children.
http://www.metmuseum.org/explore/museumkids.htm
I have also purchased some board books with various famous works of art represented from their kidâs store which I think are quite nice for early readers. We have the Mini masters board books and the set of Touch the art board books. Please see the link below.
I hope that this is helpful.
Cheers
Narelle
