I would 100% recommend this to all parents.
I’m not even sure where to begin but let’s start with me being a single working mom with zero free time and this program still worked wonders. My 2.5 year old can read sentences, sound out words and today started spelling out some of his favorite words (while looking at the word, but still! It’s just one more layer of him saying that he really gets this written word business).
My story is that someone close to me learned to read at 2.5 years old over 40 years ago. His parents used the doman method. I’ve always been amazed by this and bought a bunch of Doman books when my son was born. I will say that they were super useful in convincing me of the genius minds of babies and the potential. I fell short in trying to implement the program.
A pre-made video based program was much more reasonable for me. And I didn’t manage to follow it that well bc my baby/toddler has never enjoyed looking at books. I still try every night but it’s one of the most frustrating parts of our day.
So watching 20 minutes a day since 11 months did the trick for him. I bought all the stuff you could in both English and Spanish (he’s in Spanish immersion daycare) and in the end only 4 aspects were used. In order of importance:
1.) videos (your baby can learn, your child can read, your child can discover and your baby can speak Spanish.
2.) the box set of flash cards
3.) the flip books
4.) the sliding flash cards
We’d watch a video once a day and read either flash cards or books for about 10 minutes on a good day and that’s all it took.
By 18 months he was sight reading maybe 50 words.
By 2 years he was sight reading at least 500 words and beginning to sound out unfamiliar words. (You could tell because of the mistakes. Ex: he read little tikes as little “ticks”)
2.5 he’s reading full sentences in English and Spanish and sounding out new words all the time like “definitions” “opposites” “plumber” (he pronounced that last one like lumber 😳)
At daycare he runs around reading names and announcements that are posted on the wall.
And he is still a kid that won’t sit still for books.
The reading is amazing but I actually believe that this program saved my child from significant speech delay. He has had a lot of ear infections and had “glue ear” that was really impacting his hearing. He has come leaps and bounds since getting tubes 4 months ago and I believe these videos with the clear labeling of the written word enabled him to keep up with language understanding.
It’s an incredible program and I can’t imagine where he would be now if he had a mom who actually had time and was not to disorganized to be able to follow the program in the way Dr. Titzner lays out.
Thanks for reading! I want to tell this story to everyone who will listen but babies reading still definitely freaks some people out.
