"Your Baby Can Read" 有什麼好?

Birdsuper

I just finish reading "How to teach your baby to read" by Glenn and Janet Doman.  I only read the book but haven't seen any of the related 教材.

The methodology described in the book sounds very pushy and unnatural to me.  Maybe those who have used this methodology can help me understand more.

The baby may recognize more words sooner than those without the "training", but what's the real benefit in a long run?  Brain development? Or other things?  Any experience from bk parents (good or bad both welcome), please share.

Thanks to all for your input.  It does help me understand more about YBCR materials.   

At the very beginning, I thought YBCR is a direct product from Doman, so I got confused and needed more info.

From the info I gathered from you all, I think the best way for me now is to use what I have and make it more interactive.  

For learning words, I have been using books with clear pictures and big WORDS, and make it like a story.  For example, the caterpillar is eating APPLE, PEAR, BANANA, KIWI, etc.

For learning phonics, I have been reciting a lot of poems in books with rhymes for him to catch the sound of it, but not using the written form at this early stage.  For example, I will SAY "smell the rose with your nose"

Thanks again for sharing your ideas, knowledge and experience.  Very helpful indeed.

唔係好明,可以詳解????

flash card.. 係無互動, 單向嘅動作, 無交流, 無感情
所以我話無人性! 本來我睇咗好幾本glenn doman同七田真嘅書, 買哂standard size嘅card, 但係攞上手, 真係flash唔到! 我鍾意有交流嘅學習過程, 有互動~ 有樂趣!

So, the logic here is that 'YBCR' is a good start to learn  English but after finishing using the program, parents should provide phonics training or else children might fail in actual reading becau ...

NO~
the logic here is:
there is SO much to learn in the world, we CANNOT just stop after ybcr.  
and that's it!

其實我唔明你想証明d乜, 因為ybcr有教phonics~

同埋~ 單單嘅phonic system, 我覺得唔夠生活化, 無趣味! (可能係我見識少啦~)
e.g. 教生果, 攞住喺手, apple, orange, pear, kiwifruit
大佬咪玩啦~ 唔通我pear, bear, tear咩!
小朋友唔係機器嚟架! 咁同flash card一樣: 無人性!

sorry~ 都係嗰句: 黑同白中間有唔同深淺嘅灰, 我唔會buy任何一套system就跟到底, 因為人人都一定有可取之處, 我行向一邊, 唔等於你可以借我句說話否定其他嘢, 我個小朋友第日學得好唔好, 唔係任何嘢可以就呢三言兩話下結論..

我又看過有專家講一開始就教letter name, letter sound 或 phonics 是 meaningless的, 因為它們本身是沒有意思的, 反而一開始先學 wholeword, 之後才學單字母會好d!

agreed~

and ybcr is a good start!

完全同意希望各位媽咪係flash 之前真係要了解清楚,唔好人閃你又閃,只睇見人地o既成效,就盲目咁跟住做

可否share怎樣教你囝囝 ?

只講點教英文啦~
最初~ 當然係ybcr
中間見佢對ABC有興趣, 好快學識26個字母
16mth左右已經好少睇ybcr, 一路都有睇生字圖書/咭
跟住開始玩字母 e.g. bat / pat / dat / cat / yat 有意思無意思嘅都讀俾佢聽 (不過唔係成日玩, 但係開咗個頭, 佢自己開始有d領會)
大少少.. 講嘢ok, 見到佢有興趣嘅嘢就指住讀, 然後有時又讀差唔多音嘅字~

有時~ 又會cover個字一部份 e.g. ice-cream, 咁分開讀, 一齊讀~
又玩過幾次.. 之後阿仔自己讀到newsweek!

呢排~ 玩緊同字母咭拼字, e.g. 佢攞住一張"apple" card, 就搵 A, P, P, L, E 呢d字母出嚟排隊隊
見到PEAR, 就唔好放過機會拼TEAR 同 BEAR etc

總之~ 家長可以自由發輝, 如果小朋友有興趣玩, 就繼續同佢玩! 其實我都唔係有計劃之下做呢d嘢, 只係响某個時候, 有某d教材响手, 自己諗出嚟架!
