Ooooh, Thanks to Monique Roberts for your great talk on Teaching Your Baby to Read Using the Doman Method! "I kept flash cards everywhere," Monique said, "and showed them to Katie whenever. The important thing is not to quiz them. Show them a word (printed in lower case on index cards), and then show the next." What a lovely way to interact with your young person, I thought. Then I remembered my five-year-old grandson can't read, and there's no way he would get into looking at flash cards about mama and juice. So I got out the red magic marker (his favorite color) and the index cards, and we made flashcards of his favorite words -- superheroes. Baby & Me Lapsit, Wednesdays, 10:30 am! Ages new to two.
