“your Baby Can Read” Video, Is Anyone Impressed With This?

Just wondering if this is something worth using. My kids don’t watch much tv but when they do I would like it to be something educational. The shows I keep recorded for them are Dora, Diego, Little Einsteins and Planet Earth. Do you think “Your baby can read” is just as good or better? How long until you noticed they were actually learning stuff from the video? How long have you used it? Did your kids learn how to read with this video? Thanks!

Did Anyone See This Commercial: Parents, Teach Your Kids To Read In Their Sleep!?

I saw this just this last weekend (may 2008) and the whole subject of the commercial was like this “Parents. You’re busy. There’s not enough time in the day. How are you supposed to have time to teach your kid to read??? Well listen to this, we have this special new thing… play these tapes when your child is sleeping and he will learn how to read!”
Now I admit I was tired when I saw the commercial but I SWEAR that is what it was. I’ve googled it and searched youtube but can’t find it with my keywords.
ring a bell? what is this product?
by the way, I don’t want it I think it’s pretty pathetic if a parent won’t take the time and responsibility and teach their child to read. Afterall, what else are you “too busy” to do with your child….. sad sad world.

Bill O’reilly For Kids Is This A Good Book To Read To The Kids?

Do You Think This Would Work For Helping My Kids Learn How To Read?

So, both my husband and I were about 3 when we learned how to read, and I’d like my kids to be able to read (at least fundamentally) by the time they start school, but I also heard that trying to force reading too early can screw up a kid’s brain. So we had an idea that we hope should both help them learn how to read and let us know when we should start teaching them:
We’re thinking of making a big poster for the kid’s room, make it really colorful and fun looking, and put the alphabet on it in big letters. Next to or under each letter would be a picture of something that starts with that letter. So, Aa (apple), Bb (boy), Cc (cat), and so on. We’d just hang it up on the wall even when they’re babies. When they get a little older and start taking an interest in it, then we’d start teaching them the alphabet and how to read.
This would all go along with reading aloud to them from a very young age. We’re hoping it’ll get them used to the look of the different letters, and what sounds they make, even before they start reading.
Do you think this would work/be helpful?
Please be honest!
Thanks!
