Parenting Children

These days every parent tries to give their child a head start on learning. With baby Einstein videos flying off the shelf, flash cards, and classical music cds all geared for the under three set, it didn’t surprise me when I heard there was a set of dvds called “Your Baby Can Read“.
I knew I wanted to see for myself how good this dvd set actually was, so I was very excited when the company sent me one to review.

This development system is made of five dvds and a set of pull apart flash cards made for children 3 months to five years old. There is a starter video that introduces children to 20 key words, volume 1 over 40 learning words plus songs, animals, and word games, volume 2 introduces new words and new songs, volume 3, starts two and three word phrases and the review video which reviews words from the starter video thru volume 3. This video is just for children after they are familiar with the first four videos in the series.
Don’t worry there is a parent segment which helps you to understand how this works and how to work with your child along with the videos.

My kids instantly loved the flash cards and I loved the blank wipe clean card that you can write your own words. This dvd set is not the magic tool to instantly get your two year old to read. If you think you can sit them down in front of the TV and go and do something else and your kids will read all on their own, you are wrong too. You need to work with them and engage them. That being said, I think this is a great find. My four year old twins recognized the words they saw, loved the music and pictures and were excited to learn to read. They now know certain words and we work all the time with new words, with the blank flash card they provided.

I recommend this to anyone looking for a gift for a young child this holiday season. It doesn’t have any lead and parents will appreciate it more then another stuffed animal or toy they do not have room for.
You can buy the individual dvds for $14.95 each or the dvd set for $79.95. I know I want extra flashcards, and I am excited that they also offer new ones.
Either way I will be recommending these dvds to parents who want to start teaching their children to read.
