Believe it or not, all newborn babies are budding geniuses with the ability to surpass even Albert Einstein himself. Marketing hype, youre thinking? No, this is actually the thought-provoking conclusion of researcher Glenn Doman, whose prestigious Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential pioneered childrens brain development techniques as early as the 1950s and whose Gentle Revolution series of books taught parents the fundamental principles of home instruction.
Domans break-through instructional methods, originally designed for brain-damaged children such as those with autism, cerebral palsy, developmental delay and Down syndrome, allowed these children to show great improvement in developmental growth. They learned not only to walk and run, but even to do gymnastics. Additional follow-up work performed by Doman and his colleagues which progressed throughout the 1960s, concluded that these methods effectiveness applied not only to brain-injured children, but could also unlock incredible neurological potential within any infant.
The Learn to Read with Doman Method app by Little Readers, which is available for the iPad, makes use of the Doman method to focus on one specific area of early childhood development, that of using flashcards to increase your childs linguistic skills and drawing on his natural curiosity to get him to teach himself to read. This app can be used with babies as young as six months of age and it can also be used as an effective enrichment tool or activity for older children.

How the Learn to Read with Doman Method app works is simple. The new technology, combined with proven instructional methods, allows you, the parent, to serve as your babys earliest teacher, using your iPad for showing him visually stimulating and engaging flashcards. Each card contains a vivid image as well as a word, and constantly, repeatedly showing these images will allow your infant to learn to engage with the app and develop his phonological abilities by growing to associate each image with its accompanying word. If you feel your child would be better stimulated by viewing these words and images in a larger size, you also have the option of connecting your iPad to your television set via AirPlay.

This learning app is colorful and visually appealing, with its bright, bold, cartoon-style illustrations, and will be just as enjoyable for your baby as any other game you play. It also comes with plenty of information for parents, including strategies for exactly when and how you can best implement this instructional tool. Learn to Read with Doman Method is easy to customize, as well, so you can set up the best possible learning environment for your child. For example, you can create as many word groups as you like, ordering the vocabulary into readily accessible categories such as “colors” for words like “red”, “yellow” and “blue” and “Family” for words such as “Mommy”, “Daddy” and “baby”.

If youre still a skeptic, theres no need to be. You can take the word of numerous other parents who have been very successful in using the Doman flashcard technique, as many of them report that their precocious readers and tiny scholars had a large vocabulary of sight words before the age of two. While the Learn to Read with Doman Method app is itself pretty new, this comprehensive educational resource manages to combine convenient modern mobile technology with a proven instructional technique based on over half a centurys worth of comprehensive, academically-proven research.
