Read on to know more about how you can teach baby to read and open up opportunities to help them succeed earlier in life.
How Does The Program Work?
Dr. Titzer developed Your Baby Can Read program after years of extensive research and academic training. Titzer believes that early intervention, parents can teach baby to read and help them comprehend both the spoken and written words easier. The Program is designed to help parents seize the best time for their children to learn language – starting at three months of age.
The interactive DVD set is programmed to be viewed continuously for six to seven months. The starter videos incorporate short video clips about selected words accompanied with music that your baby can find fun. Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes and If You’re Happy and Know It are some of the tunes that toddlers would love and sing along with.
The short clips show children and babies demonstrating every word that had been introduced in the screen. Each word is demonstrated more than thrice, which uses different font whenever every time the word flashes on the screen. To help babies and toddlers follow the short clip, the video includes an arrow that scrolls along the word as it is read aloud.
What We Think
Engaging stimulus. In fact, most moms and tests show that Your Baby Can Read can hold babies’ attention for two minutes. Both music and visuals grabs and holds babies’ attention and help optimize brain development.
Develops mother-and-child bond, and in particular, whenever moms use word cards. Your Baby Can Read, in fact, design the word cards to be used in conjunction with the DVD. Research shows moms who interact with their babies help their children develop stronger emotional IQ and their outlook about their selves.
DVDs can be optional. In fact, while visuals can catch babies’ attention, experts recommend mothers play an active role in helping their children’s development. In fact, Dr. Michael Rich, Founder and Director of the Center on Media at the Child Health at Children’s Hospital Boston and expert at Promising Practices Network (http://www.promisingpractices.net), believes that visuals like DVDs replace the natural stimuli with pre-processed images, making the learning process a more passive one.
In order for an early intervention to work, experts recommend mothers to use word cards instead of letting their babies watch the TV. For early language programs to work, Dr. Rich recommends moms to use the music included in these DVDs and just interact with her baby. Flashing the word cards, along with other play time moves and big actions, is far healthier and even helps your child comprehend what the program is all about.
