Well THAT'S Not Good Advertising..

I stumbled across a mom question/answer site in which a person had asked if the "My Baby Can Read" program was any good. From the following reply I'm thinking, probably not (unless baby's a genius and it's just mom who's an idiot)

I recommend the program 150% I had it used it luv’d it!!! Unfortunately it got stolen & I have to replace it!!! If u use it rite it is an amazing tool young minds especially in the first 3yrs r so eager to learn. Iv seen it used with a couple children and it really effects every aspect of their development, how they behave and handle them selves is amazing. My son is constantly learning and using the skills “My baby Can Read’ at hme & in the out side world. He new how to read Nose, mouth, teeth ECT new where they where on his face and other ppls face’s along with animals faces before 6mo. His vocab is very high thanx to the programs tools!! He loves the video’s books, flash cards he brings them to me. He helps other children learn and which way to read left 2 right, very cute.. U will here 4rm ppl that it’s a scam yadda, yadda, yadda but that’s because they dnt have it!! Some of the bad things ppl… who haven’t used the program. seem to always resort back to it’s just memorizing. Well sorry no it’s not just memorizing, and yes to a point memorizing can be a little harmful and that is because young brains are taking in so much input that they have to prune out other skills that they r not using and that’s where us as parents come in and support them by providing a balance so they are not pruning out skills they need. & really come on we all start of learning something by memory and then we build of it. Ppl say that it doesn’t teach phonics yes it does with r help try it and then say that phonics isn’t being taught!! Great program as long as us as parents us it correctly. Also I really recommend Leap Frog Letter Factory!! It really helped my son learn his ABC’s and their sounds.



I think I lost count of the grammatical, spelling, and other errors somewhere around 33 (ok, I counted obvious abbreviations, but they were annoying). Methinks she did not do that company any favors!

So funny! I make my fair share of typos, but come on! The irony of it all is a hoot!
