Hello,
Are there any expert parents here on Glenn Doman’s technique and have also use the software from Brillkids?
I would like to ask some questions but on another post nobody responded T_T
thanks,
For example, I would like to know, if I do encyclopedic knowledge or math (starting at an age of 4 months or so), how much does this baby remember.
How often do you need to keep on using the material you have used to keep it in the memory of the child.
So far I haven’t been testing, so I don’t know how much she knows right now.
does anybody have long term experiences with this?
thanks,
Hi, we really didn’t repeat anything besides leaving the flash cards out for dd to look at herself. When it came to words we really did not have to repeat because even if she forgot a single word she was continuing to gain knowledge on how words are formulated and soon began to him to intuit them anyway so even if she forgot a word likely she would know it again when she saw it.
We also did not test as we wanted to make sure to foster a lifelong love of reading and learning. If you have to test make sure you make a fun game with no pressure.
No I am not familiar with this method, but will definitely look into it out of curiosity 
The way I develop literacy in kids and encourage others to, is to teach a love of language and literature (books mostly) from an early age.
Before considering teaching a child to read, in my opinion and the opinion of many others, developing oral language skills is extremely important. Oral language is the foundation to written language. I have worked with many kids who struggle because their oral language skills are weak when they are introduced to reading.
Oral story telling teaches children the structures of stories and is a precursor to prediction skills (also important in reading) and in composition.
Reading with children from a very early age and talking about the pictures, the words and the events in a story are good foundations for reading.
What we know about reading is that it is much more than decoding words. Pictures (and later creating those pictures in one’s head) and other supporting cues such as context are important skills that a child learns through being read to and interacting with books with an adult or older child.
The ability to “play with words†by enjoying rhyme, rhythm, sound substitution and multiple meanings helps kids develop critical understandings of how language works. So while adults may consider rhymes and songs folly, they are really critical language building activities. As children learn to read, then, they can change “cat†to “batâ€, and “kitâ€to “kiteâ€.
It is so rewarding to see children pick up books over other toys and activities. You can see by this simple action, that they understand that there is richness inside, and that they understand the joy of literature.
I used it before. My daughter wasn’t interested.
I disagree that oral skills are needed to teach reading. My dd was not very verbal when we started. Not only did it not slow her down but it dramatically increased her speech. If we had waited she would have been delayed in both speech and reading. She is now one of only a very small handful of kids with Down syndrome that I know of doing typical grade 4 work in school. All thanks to her neuridevelopmental (Doman)program, early learning with BrillKids, etc.
