Using Television To Learn Reading Skills?

Hi everybody, I’ve finished developing my phonics program for children and it’s extremely straightforward: www.minidavinci.com
But it uses DVDs as the main instructional material and I know a lot of parents are hesitant to let their children watch television at a young age.
What do you think? Television for kids, yay or nay?

How Can I Learn To Love Reading Again?

I used to LOVE reading when I was a kid. I think being forced to read mind-numbing, boring textbooks all throughout school killed my passion for reading. Every time I pick up a book, even if it’s an interesting subject, I start yawning and get very sleepy. Obviously it takes me forever to get through a single book, if I can get through it at all.
Any advice on how to become motivated to read again?

My Friend Does Not Know How To Read Quran And She Wants To Learn, Is It Okay If I Give Her A Qaida As A Gift?

She wants to learn how to read Arabic letters with proper tajweed/pronounciation. I am going to a weekend Quran class and I am learning, so I know a little bit. My husband told me to buy a Qaida for her, and everytime I learn something, to teach her. Is it okay to give her a Qaida? She is around my age, 22, and I don’t want to offend her or embarrass her for giving her a Qaida, which is generally what kids learn from. But, this is how I learned to read Quran too, just last year.

Unschoolers…how Did Your Kids Learn Math And Reading?

Hi. I’m unschooling my kids except for reading and math. My 6-year-old daughter is doing great with “Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons” and we just got Shillermath and so far it looks promising. For HER, at least. My 5-year-old son, however, is a little different. He’s a little, shall we say, *off.* I’ve read all the books and I’m 99% sure that an expert would say he has ADHD. Whether or not he actually has it doesn’t really matter too much because whatever the deal is, it’s hard to get him to pay attention to me, or even look at me sometimes.
Anyway, I was thinking that when he was ready to read, he might not really be able to follow any structured program. It might be easier for him to just pick it up informally. Buy I really don’t know how he would. I asked this on another forum and the only person who answered said that her son just memorized what was read to him and then he could read, but that’s not real reading, is it? So, how did your kids do it?
