Yes, I have tried Your Baby Can read, it but not consistently so. I believe in teaching the fundamentals of literacy to a young mind when it is ready, rather then forcing them to read by sight when they are babies.

However, in as much as I allow my kids to watch Treehouse for entertainment, I also allow them to watch various types of educational videos/ DVDs for edu-tainment. They are 27 months. Not yet ready for hard-core education.

So, does Your Baby Can Read work?  Well I don't know and at this stage, I really am not focused on it working or not.  One thing I do know: whatever they watch repeatedly, they will eventually repeat. They are sponges who recite whatever they hear like little parrots. But can they truly read?

I am happy with recitation and mimicry at this stage of their lives. In a year or two, I hope to be able to truly say, "My children can read."

Ive heard it can work, but I've not been a person who wants to train my kids... That is what it felt like... There is so much else to learn and do at this young age, learning to read is not a necessity... It will come. Also unless homeschooling is in their future, pushing them ahead of their age group for school will lead them to boredom and burnout.
