WDYT of "Your Baby Can Read"

[meow]

I don't believe hothousing has any benefits what-so-ever. I think you've already made loads of good comments against this product such as the issue of 'forcing learning' and how learning is already occuring through songs and reading books you enjoy together.

I would stick to reading together and just enjoying it. There are better things for a 2 year old to master and fun is one of them

I think the $300 would be better spent enjoying yourselves at play centers.

I have just read a book called Reading Magic by Mem Fox - and from reading that I would say what you are already doing, reading books together singing songs etc is the best way to go about learning to read. I would recommend the book ( I got from Library) I learnt a lot about how children learn to read from it - and it isn't selling anything (although it does use Mem Fox books as examples :-)).
