Daddy flashing the cards to Samuel
Samuel flashing the cards to MummyWe have been teaching Samuel to read by using Glenn Doman method when he was about 6 months old. Both of us are very hardworking, trying to DIY the Glenn Doman English word flashcards and Maths cards.
We decided to get the Glenn Doman cards when he was about 1 as we managed to get some discounts. We bought 4 different sets - English, Mandarin, Maths and Encybits.
When we first started, he likes to play. But that did not last for too long. After few months, we stopped as he doesn't have much interest. We started again few months later, but with a different set of flashcards. We bought those small flashcards with pictures. Word at one side and picture on the other side. He loves playing with the cards and after a month he was able to recognise the set of words. Then we started to buy few different set of cards. But when I was about to deliver Jesse, we stopped playing with him.
About a month ago, mummy digged out the Glenn Doman flashcards again. We tried to flash the single word cards again and he loves it very much. We flashed the words to him before he goes to bed. A couple of nights ago, Samuel has completed the single words. We tried the couplets, phases and sentences and he was able to read it pretty well. He can recognise most of the single words that form the couplets, phases and sentences. It is amazing and we are really happy that he loves to read.
