Your Baby Can Read Bought for my daughter

Bought YBCR for my daughter when she was 3.5 yrs old, which by YBCR standards was a little late. Like some of the comments made, much of what you get out of it depends on what you put into it. If you “plop” your child in front of the TV and don’t participate in your own child’s education you will likely be disappointed. Conversely, if you follow the directions and “teach” your child for 30-45 minutes a day you will be shocked at how quickly and easily they will start to read. My daughter was reading by the time she was 4, is now 5 starting kindergarten this year, and was screened for reading at the 2nd grade level. Professional educators (I’m one of them) don’t want to admit that there is a better way. They condemn YBCR as a scam that is nothing more than rote memorization, recommend teaching phonics, or some other such nonsense. I’m a high school teacher and I can tell you with unwavering conviction that our educational system in this country is failing our children, in part because a lot of teachers are too entrenched in their thinking. Public education in particular in this Country needs a major overhaul. We learn more everyday about how kids learn. YBCR is a quantum leap in teaching kids to read. If you don’t think so, I’d like to introduce you to a 5 year old that would convince you otherwise. There might be other ways to teach kids to read that are just as fast and effective, but if there are those methods are lost on a lot of our kids. The price is a bit steep for some families, but well worth it at twice the price in my opinion. Especially when you consider that the a lot of the kids in my daughter’s kindergarten class still won’t know how to read at the end of the school year. Buy it, follow the directions, you won’t be sorry.
