There are various other reading programs that we haven't tried. Some that I can think of off hand are:
Monki See Monki Do - http://www.monkisee.com/
e Reading Pro (formerly known as Out of the Box reading) - http://ereadingpro.com/products.php
Preschool Prep Company has a series of DVD's, books, etc. - http://preschoolprepco.com/h/i/index.php
If anyone has tried these and would like to share, please leave a comment about your experiences.
I started this blog hoping to inspire other parents to help their children with Down syndrome reach for the sky! My daughter was reading words, before she was 2 years of age & reading books by 3.5 years. I believe kids with Down syndrome can do amazing things if we give them the right tools. I truly believe high expectations can make a tremendous difference in the lives of our children!
I have used Monkisee and its a wonderful program.You can see my review of it here: http://thereedfamily-blog.blogspot.com/2011/02/monkisee-review-and-give-away.html
ReplyDeleteAnyways, its a cross between something like Baby Einstein/Seseme Street and Your Baby Can Read all rolled into one. It works well for little ones but even more so for older children. My sister has it for her 6yr old and she watches it everyday she told me. They really do learn to read from the program. Really well worth it if you have a child that needs bells and whistles, is 'older' and the price is much better than Your Baby Can Read. Plus they sell all the parts to the curriculum seperately.
