A Comparative Review of Three Early Learning Products
The whole idea behind early childhood education is the fact that babies and young children are capable of and actually like learning. Their brains are more susceptible towards absorbing information and therefore, all babies are potential 'baby geniuses'. As more people realize this, various early learning theories, methods and products have emerged. Today let's look at three of these products - Little Reader, Your Baby Can Read, and Glenn Doman Flash Cards.
10 Easy Early Learning Activities For Babies And Toddlers
Author: Dr. Robert Titzer
I have spent my career researching early learning in children and babies. My carefully designed programs have achieved remarkable results, teaching babies as young as six months to read. Now, anyone can quickly and easily put their child on the path to acquiring essential learning skills by following these proven activities:
1. Use Multi-Sensory Learning
When your child shows an interest in a particular topic, try to help them learn about it using as many sensory systems as possible. If your child is interested in learning about flowers, let them see, smell, touch, and even hear the gentle sound the flower makes brushing against their ear. This type of learning is usually more interesting for the child, and more effective.

Reading Tools for Early Childhood Education
For those who don't know, it is easier to teach your child to read early on in his life (from the ages of zero to three), than later! Many experts suggest that by teaching your child to read before they begin formal education, they will find school-based education easier from the get-go as they will not have to learn reading skills at the same time that they have to comprehend curriculum material. So what options are available to parents who are interested in teaching their child to read early? Let's look at a few.
How To Buy The Right Toddler Toys
Toddlers are at the stage of discovery in their lives. They come across new things around every where. Hence, the toys should be able to sustain their interest. Most parents complaint that although they spent a lot of money on fancy toys for their toddlers, the kids spend most of their time playing with household things or other mundane stuff.. While other parents find that after a few days, the toddlers totally lose interest in the toys, which then gather dust lying in a corner. And the parents wonder why it so happens.
Practical Ways To Raising A Smart Toddler
Toddlers between one and three have been proven to be the most important years of a childs life. This toddler stage is what moulds children into what they become in their later years. Research shows that it is during these formative and very impressionable years that a child is most explorative and is always experimenting. This is how they learn and begin to form opinions of the world around them, and play is perhaps the most important window to this experience. Therefore in order to provide a toddler with a wholesome and varied experience, a lot of thought needs to be given to the kind of playthings that toddlers have access to.
The Importance Of Play - Educational Toys Make A Difference
Playtime is one of the most vital parts of childhood development. Research has proven that all areas of development are enhanced through a child̢۪s play activities. Healthy growth and development is stimulated through play as early as birth and on into the school age years. Children play in a variety of ways with a number of different toys. Each activity has a different affect on development.
Newborns and infants enjoy a social play style that builds their trust as they prepare to explore the rest of the world. Babies interact with their parents and caregivers as they learn to bond with people and develop a basic understanding of emotions. Social games like peek-a-boo and pat-a-cake are common play activities for older babies and toddlers.

The Importance of Play
by: Judy Hansen
For children, play is naturally enjoyable. And since it is their active engagement in things that interest them, play should be child-led, or at least child-inspired, for it to remain relevant and meaningful to them. Children at play are happily lost in themselves; they are in their own realm of wonder, exploration, and adventure, pulling parents in at times with a frequent “Let’s play, mom!” as an open invitation into that world.
As early as infancy, children immerse themselves in play activities with the purpose of making sense of the world around them. Play gives children the opportunity to learn and experience things themselves, which is vital for their development. Although peek-a-boo games seem pointless to adults, tots are awed by the surprise that awaits them as they see the suddenly emerging faces of people they love.

Teach Your Child To Read
Start Young and Stay with it. At just a few months of age, an infant can look at pictures, listen to your voice, and point to objects on cardboard pages. Guide your child by pointing to the pictures, and say the names of the various objects. By drawing attention to pictures and associating the words with both pictures and the real-world objects, your child will learn the importance of language.
Children learn to love the sound of language before they even notice the existence of printed words on a page. Reading books aloud to children stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them to understand the written word. When the rhythm and melody of language become a part of a child's life, learning to read will be as natural as learning to walk and talk.

Ready, Set, Read!
Want to teach your child to read, but not sure how? Relax. You're not alone, and it's easier than you think. Whether your child is 4 months or 4 years, now is the time to begin.
Teaching your son or daughter to read is not a one-day or one-weekend event. It's a mind-set, an awareness of the myriad of opportunities to teach your daughter about language - speaking, listening, reading and writing - the elements of communication.
Develop Her Language Skills
"Talking enables children to expand their vocabulary and understanding of the world. The ability to carry on a conversation is important for reading development," says The U.S. Department of Education.
Right from the beginning, talk to your child about the world around her. Even if she doesn't talk back, she loves to hear your voice; she's listening and learning.
As she approaches toddler-hood, she's old enough to learn her letters. This is an exciting time! Whether or not you love to read, growing and reaching another stage is great fun for a kid…make a big deal of it!
Invest in an alphabet board or set of magnetic letters for the refrigerator. Let your child watch you set up her name. Tell her the letter names and sounds as you go. When you're finished say, "That's your name!"
