[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try apps if you have an ipad or tablet.  They work great for learning the basics.  Also, Leap Frog videos and Preschool Prep.[/quote]

This is terrible advice. [/quote]

Along with regular flash cards and books, my 3 year old is reading short books.  It may be terrible to you but my kid knows his stuff.  Now at 3, we are working on addition.  Not sure how you would do it, but they are great videos and the apps are great as they are interactive.  Far better than dumb mindless cartoons.[/quote]

Are you saving for your kid's therapy bills in a few years?  Or bracing yourself for how much he will resent you when he gets older?[/quote]

Also--DD learned how to read all on her own from the books we read to her.  We never watched a special video or did flashcards or workbooks.  She was reading chapter books at three, loving them, and comprehending them.  She loves to read.  I have seen kids who were taught (they way you describe) how to read at two-years-old, and they have to be goaded to read, have no inflection, and have trouble with comprehension.  Some have ended up as reluctant readers by third grade.  [/quote]
