My daughter's name is Jasmin Long. Currently, she's 17.5 months old. The video was taken when she was 10 months old.I started showing her Your Baby Can Read! Starter DVD at 4 months. But I only let her watch the DVD twice a week. I know the recommended watching schedule is like twice a day, but I was trying to limit the time she spent watching TV because at 4 months, still very young! Initially, she wasn't really keen, always distracted by her surroundings. She was only interested in the music/songs, whereby she would immediately stop whatever she was doing to watch the song/'music video'.
To encourage her interest, I would sit beside her and watch with her, and read out the words to her, and do the actions as well। I would also sing along to the songs, do the actions to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Itsy Bitsy Spider..
Your Baby Can Read DVD was essential in kick-starting Jasmin's learning process and right now at 17.5 months, she can understand about 80% of the content in the Review DVD, and she has an avid interest in looking at books and words, even though she can't understand the words. She would hold my own storybooks or even newspaper up, in an action, like she knows what she's reading, and even turn the pages! Like an adult!
Since then, I've purchased countless DVDs for Jasmin, because only when she is watching something that she is interested in, I can have a ten or fifteen minute break to do my own stuff. I'm a stay at home mom, looking after her full-time by myself. Out of all the DVDs she has, I must say, Your Baby Can Read DVDs come up tops in terms of educational content and learning aid.
