Classic Toys For Tots

Educational Toys – Teaching your toddler to read

So another week has passed and I must admit that it was pretty hectic and I wasn’t so good with practicing the words with my son. During this week he watched the video twice a day as usual but I could see his level of interest in the video started decreasing and he wanted to do more things while watching. However, he is still interested and whenever we participate more and challenge him while watching the video, he is much more focused and enthusiastic about it.

In order to be faithful to this little experiment, I checked  his familiarity with the words this evening and I was very happy to discover that he could read in an arbitrary order 8 words: Tiger, elephant, gorilla, eyes, cat/s, dog/s, Hi and Baby.

It seems that as the days go by, some of the words are very easy for him to recognize; even if he cannot read them he will know to differentiate them from others. It is very encouraging when realizing that 3 weeks ago he had no tools to recognize these words and now he reads them so easily. Even if this program will not be as miraculous for him as it seems on the videos I watched, he is still gaining confidence, knowledge and familiarity with the written word which is a very satisfying.

Until the next post…
