LITTLE MATH TESTIMONIALS

I teach both reading and math to my 21 month old son.  I started with reading early this year and after it was fairly stable, I added in the math last month. My son was also quickly bored with the dot cards so I acquired LM. While it makes my life A LOT easier, I'm not sure that my son is really into the math lately. 

Thankfully LM allows for different icons (balls, ducks, etc) so that keeps him more interested.  It's a bit of two steps forward, one step back sometimes with either program. I'm confident that we're making progress each week - sometimes by faith alone, but that's ok!

My DS (7 months and 8 days) did it!

Two days ago, we tested our son to see if he could recognize numbers (dots) and... he could! He was always interested in the dot cards (more than EK and reading). However, yesterday we asked him to identify words and ...he could! he could also identify colors! He was 100% correct. I am really happy 

The words I showed him were shown to him in the beginning (one and a half months ago) and I had stopped doing them since he would look away every time...but apparently, that wasn't the case, because he remembers all of them!

We tried to record this session using the remote (so that he would'nt see the camera), however, as luck would have it, it did not get recorded properly.

Anyhow, I am really thankful to everyone on this forum....your posts helped me teach my son....and a BIG thanks to KL for coming up with such a wonderful software. I totally enjoy teaching my son...however, not more than he enjoys learning! Babies are indeed geniuses!

I can't believe it.  My boy was actually laughing while watching LM equations.  He usually just tolerates LM or any kind of math (we have dot cards, too).  We've done the dots to 100 (although I don't test him, so I have no idea what he has learned).  We've also done +, -, x, and division.  I was just reviewing some addition and subtraction equations using LM.  I had turned off the sound and was running the program on auto forward at 0.4 seconds, with longer breaks between equations.  He just watched them and chuckled and told him brother (who was nearby) to look, too.  Doing 10 equations at that speed is like nothing, and he wanted more.  I think we did about 50 equations while we laughed with joy.  I finally told him he was done.  Oh, he wanted more!  So, I stopped.  Doman says to keep them wanting more, right?  

Guess I just wanted to brag on LM.

Well, I have to confess this, I couldn't resist the temptation to do problem solving and did one today...(I just wanted to make sure it works before we move on...silly me! ) We are into day 15 of the curriculum, quantity 14. I am glad to say my LO got it 100% right!!   

Thanks to KL & Team for devising such a great product and a great curriculum!

I would like to thank Brillkids for making LM and LR upgrades.

My son is doing well with it. I already see a difference when teaching my son the math. Everything is already preset to teach a set of numbers each day and the pictures are flashed much faster. This is great because my son actually sits through his math lesson. My son had no interest before. He would look away when ever I would show him flash cards. With the original LM, he would squirm off my lap. But now the lesson is so fast, he doesn't have time to be uninterested. He sits through his lessons. 

My son always enjoyed LR but I think he likes the prepared lessons also. They are quick, some action pictures, variety of picture examples with each word. I also like the different voice used to read the words and describe the pictures. 

This is definitely worth the money. My son loves it and when it comes to young children, its not always easy to find to teach them and hold their attention. But I must say with this wonderful program and this web site forum, I have learned a lot.

I want to thanks Brillkids and all the caring parent for making this site so GREAT. 

I have both LR & LM and would like to assure everyone that the curriculum is excellent. I know when buying everything for a child things get expensive. If you can afford this for your child it is well worth the price. My grandson was born six weeks premature and with Your Baby Can Read and Little Reader he is catching up to his age level. His vocabulary is excellent and he is learning to count to five. His speech is beginning to catch up with where it should be. I think he would have progressed further but my computer was broken for a while. The major improvement that I notice with him is his vocabulary. I attribute this largely to Little Reader curriculum, although Your Baby Can Read is also responsible. My grandson is a child who is very active, so teaching him anything is extremely difficult. 

I know in trying to create lessons for him, it is very time consuming. Creating these lessons to the quality that LR & LM have been created is costly. They have put a lot time into making the lessons not only educational but also entertaining so our cute little ones will pay attention. They also have incorporated several different teaching methods into both of these programs making them versatile for which ever method you decide to follow. I think different children learn different ways and they have tried to make this versatile for everyone. The latest versions are incredible in my opinion.

To be frank, LM is godsend. It is such a wonderful program. I am getting the feel of Little Math and it is easy to use. In fact, I started using it without reading the manual. I prefer to fiddle with the features to get the hang of it. Most of all, my daughter is beginning to show more enthusiasm in math.

I have been trying to teach my daughter maths with PowerPoint flashcards. It takes up a lot of my time preparing them. I also have a phobia: is the number of dots correct? Have I accidentally deleted any dot? With Little Math, things become much much easier. I do not have to think of equations. All I have to do is adjust the Presets. Of course, whenever possible I try to customize. I can also change the icons. I also love the sound sets. It is very convenient. Thank you very much for such a wonderful and powerful program.

My daughter and I enjoy using this program. Our lessons have become exciting for her, because she found red dots boring. With Little Math mathematics is fun for us as it supposed to be :)
