I used similar techniques (in an earlier decade) to teach my child to recognize colors at age 4 months and to read independently by age 3. While the other parent and all four grandparents scoffed, he skipped a grade and remained a top-notch student all the way through the doctorate, in spite of several family tragedies and upheavals that statistically are found more often in kids who fail.
If you can read, you can learn or solve many other fields and problems. If you can’t read, everything is a struggle.
It is probable that the complainants expected to open a package, sneer at the instructions and have magic happen with no effort. Losers. To try to get paid off for it is evil.
Actually, it’s more likely that your child was an outlier. The majority of kids cannot read at such an early age no matter how much chest thumping you do. It’s not the parents’ fault as so many would love to believe here. It’s not for lack of trying, it’s just a fact.
These ads were clearly false.
Agreed! If you don’t do another thing for your child’s education, you give them a great gift by instilling the ability and love for reading and open up a whole world of possibilities within their reach.
