Reading Bear is live!

The URL is http://www.readingbear.org/

There’s a new “Getting Started” video:

You’ll see that the video focus is on reading, period–not baby reading. Our press release (to go out Monday) will make a little mention of that, though. Of course, you all know that it’s usable by little ones.

More later!

Great job!

Thanks, Heidi!

Now I’m going to spend about half of my time in the next month promoting the site–the other half, of course, making new presentations. Please spread the word.

WOW! Great job!
Thank you very much for creating this outstanding tool for teaching reading in a fun and effective way!
Please, create a Facebook Page for a Reading Bear, so I can recommend it to my friends.

Good idea! I’ll do that tomorrow.

Thank you Larry, for the time and effort!.. This is a great looking site, I’ll definitely help spread the word, in my blog/facebook/word of mouth… you name it! Press release you say, where?

Larry,

Congratulations! So happy for the progress!

I also wanted to say – thank you for mentioning BrillKids forum in credits, I personally thought it was neat to see that, and it will be an encouragement for our forum members to see how they are part of it :slight_smile:

Yes, please do create a FB page!

Wow, Awesome!
My daughter will be love it. I’ll let her see it tomorrow.
Good job, Larry!

Larry Facebook is the best way to go to spread the world about the reading bear , cannot wait to try it . thanks . viv

Thank you so much for making such a wonderful product available for everybody - parents who cannot afford buying E.L. products for their kids included!
(Thankfully NOT affected directly, but the unemployment rate in Spain is currently around 20.9% according to http://www.tradingeconomics.com/unemployment-rates-list-by-country)

Kind regards,
Isa

DadDude, you’ve just brought happiness to thousands of parents and kids! (and perhaps millions in future) 8)

Thank you for making it FREE! The gift of literacy to early readers should not come with a big price tag, so I commend you for your work! You’re a superhero!!

Here is the new Reading Bear Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Reading-Bear/268198626558730?sk=info

Please “like” and share it on Facebook, Twitter (you can retweet mine: http://twitter.com/#!/lsanger/status/129760102667386880), and whatever!

baz, thanks for your kind words. I hope it makes thousands or millions of people happy. Now I want to see if people will actually use it to, you know, teach kids to read!

By the way, for making it free, the thanks really go not to me, but to the benefactor of Reading Bear (and WatchKnowLearn.org), who wants to remain anonymous.

Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!!! Amazing!
Are there any plans for an iPhone/iPad app?

Plans for an iOS app? Yes, but the problem here is that one of our software components doesn’t work in iOS. When we started, it did. But now it doesn’t. Bottom line is, we’ll have to do a significant amount of new coding to get it to that point. But that is a hope/goal…

Hi Dad Dude,

Amazing the work you’ve done. Reading Bear is so great and I just love the fact that it’s free and therefore accessible to everyone.
My 2.5y old daughter loves it. She only knows all the letter’s sound so far. With Reading Bear she enjoys repeating the letter’s sound and the words. Of course the animation included hold all her attention.

Thank you so so much for all your work!

THis is great! Any chance of doing clips that are just each lesson that can be downloaded and made into educational dvds to put into poor countries…it can be easier to have an audience to a TV or portable dvd player than at a computer in Africa etc…and they can be easily copied and spread around for illiterate adults to watch out in the remote villages along with the children…

Nikita, my plan is to make videos of all the “Sound It Out Slowly” presentations. I’ve made one already; go to the “Getting Started” page, there’s a section that will list them.
