Your
Baby Can Read! Viewing Schedule
For
best results follow these guidelines and adjust the schedule based on
your child's special needs.
1st
month of viewing:
Watch the
Starter Video once or
twice a day. Read the
Starter Book once or twice a day to your child. You may watch the video
with
your baby and show your baby the meanings of the words. For example,
when the
word “nose”
is said, say “This is your
nose.” while touching your baby’s nose. When you
are busy around the house, you
may allow your baby to watch the video by himself/herself. You can make
or use
word
cards like words from the starter
part and
show your child once or twice a day.
You
can also write down words from the videos and point to the words from
left-to-right as you say them, then show or tell your child the meaning
of the
word. Next, try to make it interactive by asking your child to say the
word or
do an action related to the word.
2nd & 3rd months of viewing:
Watch Volume 1 once or twice a day
and the Starter part
a few times a week. Show your child the
words from the Volume 1 on word cards once or twice a day. Point to
words in
books as you read to your child (if there aren't too many words on the
same
page). Continue pointing to words in books and on word cards until your
child
is reading independently.
4th
& 5th months of viewing:
Watch Volume 2 once or twice a day
and Volume 1 and the
Starter a few times a week. Show your child the words from the Volume
2 video
on word cards once or twice a day. Play fun word games that are similar
to the
word games in the videos and continue doing this throughout the program.
6th
month of viewing:
Watch Volume 3 once or twice a day
and Volume 2, Volume 1,
and the Starter a few times a week. Show your child the words from the
Volume
3 on word cards once or twice a day. Continue playing fun word games
and
pointing to words in books.
7th
month of viewing:
Watch the Review Video once or twice
a day and Volume 3,
Volume 2, Volume 1, and the Starter
part
a few times a week. Continue showing your child the word cards and
playing fun
word games. It is very important to point to words in books while you
are
reading to your child. Teach your child to point to the words in the
books
while you read to them. It is an excellent idea to make weekly trips to
the
library and have many books on topics that interest your child.
8th
month of viewing and beyond:
Watch the videos a few times a
week.. Continue showing
your child word cards. Add new word cards that are interesting to your
child.
Play fun word games. Most of the new words 0that your child learns will
occur
from your pointing to words in books and from your child's ability to
read
phonetically. After your child has learned to read most of the words in
theDVDs, teach her any phonetic patterns that she has not already
figured out
by herself.
NOTE: This
entire program can
easily be done in less time than the average child spends watching TV.
We highly recommend limiting other TV viewing until your child learns
to read.
