These DVD's are fantastic! My daughter is 20 months old and has been watching them since she was 10 months old. Within a week, she was doing the instructional things on the DVD like "arms up" and started repeating words shortly thereafter. By the time she was 14 months she had a vocabulary of 25 words and now at 20 months she has over 100 words in her vocabulary and can speak in sentences!! Not only is her vocabulary amazing, but she can also READ!!! We were serious about this program so we followed the parental instructions...it is a MUST! The DVD's work with your help! Also, we never watch TV around our daughter or let her watch TV. Not only is it Dr. Titzer's recommendation about TV watching, but that of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Our daughter says new words everyday! She repeats words we say, probably because she learned to repeat the words from watching Your Baby Can Read! I can't say enough about these DVD's. When we are around other people, they are amazed at how well she talks and can't believe she is only 20 months old!!
Confidently recommended for parents wanting to insure that their children have all the advantages March 6, 2007

Carefully designed by Robert Titzer (an acclaimed expert in infancy research and an educator for more than 15 years), "Your Baby Can Read!" is a complete system of do-it-yourself activities that parents can easily and naturally use to encourage their infants and toddlers to understand the written word just as they are also learning to use spoken words. This simply outstanding and thoroughly 'user friendly' boxed DVD set system utilizes songs, poems, animals, and children in a multi-sensory, interactive approach that is as effective as it is fun for both children and their parents. Included is a complete overview of the program, an orientation to help parents get started with their children, and a parent's 'how to'. The sliding word and picture cards are specifically designed to be a companion set for the "Your Baby Can Read!" DVDs. The included blank, erasable Learn to Read word card provides parents with the means to teach their children an unlimited amount of new words. "Your Baby Can Read!" is confidently recommended for parents wanting to insure that their children have all the advantages when it comes to cognitive development and learning skills.

I have been working with my youngest son since he was a baby, using the Teach Your Baby to Read method. However, as I have 4 other children, a home business, and we homeschool, I don't really have the time or energy to do the 9 sessions required for the Teach Your Baby method. When I saw these DVDs, I was very interested. We have been using them for less than a month now, and my son, who is almost 2, is now reading many of the words on the starter DVD, and some on Set 1. It is unusual that he would be reading them so soon, and I am sure it is becuase he was already exposed to reading words at an earlier age. These DVDs are wonderful for a child who is not allowed to vegetate in front of the TV. This video is the highlight of the day for my son, who is rarely allowed to watch anything else. However, if you child is accustomed to cartoons or other children's animated videos, they may lose interest quickly. I don't find this to be the fault of the video, though, simply the fault of the parent in allowing the other forms of entertainment to dull the child's mind.
 It works but it's kind of boring November 20, 2006

We are now on Volume 2, the third DVD that my daughter has watched from this set. The Starter Video is the first, then Volume 1. She has all but lost interest at this point. I can't say that I blame her. It's kind of boring and a little bit too long. However, I don't have any better ideas. It's reading. So I think that, for teaching reading, they have done a good job.
The video will show a word, say it twice, with an arrow going from left to right to indicate that you should read from left to right. Then they show a short a video of that word: "Eyes. Eyes." (Switch to video of a small child) "Marco, close your eyes!"
At first my daughter watched it just like any other kid's show. Now, (after three months) she knows they will say the word twice, and she looks down while they are saying the words, and then looks up when they show the fun video part. So I have added flash cards that I show to her at other times. I made sure to write the words in lower case letters so that they will look like the words she sees on the video. I just do a few at a time, since her attention span isn't very long, and I don't want to make reading a chore for her. I also write the words on her magna doodle (separate from watching the video) in an attempt to make it more interesting.
She knows how to read many words from the DVD by sight, and is the talk of the town, but of course she cannot sound words out. The theory behind "Your Baby Can Read" is that your baby will eventually figure out how to sound out words if she learns enough words. She confuses similar words pretty often, like yes and eyes. She also forgets a lot of the words if I don't review them with her for a couple of days.
I do let her watch this video by herself (sort of a no-no), and it worked at first. But now, even when I'm sitting with her, I can't get her to pay attention for long. I think that perhaps, if I had always made it a point to sit with her while the DVD was playing, and hadn't let her watch cartoons, which are way more interesting, then maybe she would still think it was the best thing ever. I don't think that's realistic, though.

I introduced Chinese pre-schoolers to these fun, entertaining, and interactive videos. Within 5 months of viewing the videos [without an native-speaking English teacher present]: the children began speaking English in phrases.
I now teach English as a Second Language in Michigan. I use these videos to get shy children to speak and interact as they watch the videos.
