Thank you, Maddy and everyone else for sharing this information. It’s great to compare and try to use all the techniques available to teach our little ones reading! I was amazed at how teaching native reading is appealing and actually is natural! I can recall that my parents were using many of these techniques teaching me to read although they did not know anything about Kailing! And I have also naturally done that with my daughter (like spelling her name with magnet letters, etc.)! I am so happy I have found this site! Thank you very much for creating this wonderful program and forum! and the point about books that Diana mentioned is very important. It is really hard to find good books with large font and pictures and text on different pages. I’ve notices that there are 3 new books available for download at the brillkids site now. That’s really a good start, I wish there were more and in different languages! How about a new contest for creating new books in different languages?
