Babies have a rage for learning; it’s more fun that anything else!
You can develop the genius of your baby while playing a few minutes each day!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Start Now! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Every infant is endowed with unlimited learning potential. All children are born with the capacity for brilliance. In this society brilliant reading babies should be the norm, not the exception!
The potential of your baby's brain is directly related to age and the amount of stimulation your baby receives. Timing is built in and is a critical factor in taking advantage of the child's total learning capacity.
The fetus develops the right brain first. After birth the more material that is input into the brain the more it grows. By the age of 3 the circuitry of the child's brain is almost finished. The learning that has taken place has made many complex neurological connections; all input finds a place and is catalogued and cross-referenced with ease.
All babies are geniuses! Your baby’s potential depends on YOU!
Your baby’s right brain photographic memory can quickly, easily and automatically learn anything that you can present to them with its own unique right brain method. Teach your baby to read and other subjects with hundreds and thousands of pieces of information as “Bits of Intelligence”. These are taught in sets of 10 flashcards shown at high-speed in 15 seconds, 2-3 times daily for 2-5 days. The child will focus intently on the material; when their attention wanes they know the subject and it is time to present new material in brief, zippy, highly organized and enthusiastic sessions.

One hundred BILLION brain cells and they're all yours!
Extraordinarily enough, humans have about one hundred billion brain cells. When all linked together the number of connections our brain can make is variously estimated by researchers to be more than the estimated number of atoms in the known universe.
Shichida, Foremost Authority for Early Childhood Education
Dr. Makoto Shichida, founder of more than 350 franchised schools known for their unique methods of "right brain education" in Japan, Taiwan and Singapore is one of the foremost authorities on early childhood education. His research and experience since 1951 have confirmed that children are born with incredible abilities including speed-reading, photo-reading, computer-like calculation, high-speed memorization, image visualization, multiple language learning capabilities and perfect pitch.
The Law of Diminishing Learning Abilities.
Dr. Shichida's early educational research and experience since 1951 confirms that children learn quickly and easily from conception and lose this ability as they grow older, unless positively stimulated through simple learning techniques. The "window of opportunity" to easily develop right-brain capabilities is wide open until age 3, then it gradually closes to become almost totally left-brain by age 6.
Right-Brain Method is Totally Different than the Left-Brain Method
Dr. Shichida writes in his book "Super Brain Revolution" (a best seller in Asia, 2003) that the right brain has a "high-speed, high-capacity memory" mechanism. He explains that the left-brain turns data from the external world into language. This requires "sequential processing" wherein data is processed one bit at a time; it is a time consuming activity. The right brain processes information very quickly as images or pictures. The left and right brain also differ in the capacity of their memories and the period of time for which information can be stored. The left-brain is continuously dumping old information to make rooms for new, but the right-brain memory is never deleted. He thus explains "photographic memory" as a right brain phenomenon. The right brain method does not attempt to present principles underlying knowledge. Instead, it provides the child with large volumes of raw data. Dr. Shichida stresses whole-brain learning with balance between the two hemispheres of the brain.
Dr. Shichida explains that the right-brain method is totally different than the left-brain method used to teach children 5 years and older. The right-brain method is not comprised of text reading. It is carried out by the input of massive information at high speed and in large quantity. It does not require memorization or comprehension. Input is mechanical (showing flash cards at a high rate of speed, listening to language and music tapes). The subject is automatically memorized. If there is not sufficient material input fast enough the "High-speed Automatic Process Function" of the right brain will not kick in.
Dr. Shichida says that All Babies are Geniuses. He believes that right-brain education is only effective if children live in a loving environment. These children become helpful, loving, gentle and kind.
Unique Right Brain Reading Program
A unique right-brain learning program has been developed over a period of 25 years. The Orton-Spalding phonograms are its "cornerstone". Glenn Doman's method of presenting "Bits of Intelligence" has shown how to use to advantage the child's incredible ability to absorb information that Maria Montessori discovered. The research and documentation of Dr. Makoto Shichida, of Japan, presented in "Babies are Geniuses" reveal what he calls "Lightening-rapid" learning abilities through "High-Speed Automatic Process Function" which are performed in the right brain. The work of these four revolutionary educators provides a "key" to unlock the potential of the child. Montessori International developed the application of this method. By using this method children know hundreds of words by the age of 3 and can read almost any text by the age of 5.
Dr. Samuel Orton's Incredible Contribution of the 72 Phonograms
The 72 Orton phonograms represent the common spelling patterns of English. They were systematically organized by Dr. Orton and form the basis of instruction for the "Spalding Method". They are the primary "phonics codes" of the language. These will form the basis for all of your child's future language skills, they are the first and most important category taught in the reading program. 'The benefit of this instruction at the earliest possible age in incalculable. They are taught with the Phonogram Flash Cards and the Phonics Codes for English Phonogram Flashcard DVD.

When to Teach Your Baby to Read
The process of leaning to speak is much more complex than learning to read. Speech and language development occur naturally. All babies learn to understand language before they are able to control speech. Once the printed words have been learned, the process of reading involves word recognition, which is an easier process than recalling a sound and attempting to say it. The best time to teach reading is from birth through the pre-verbal, infant and toddler stage when the right-brain photographic memory is the most active.
How to Teach Your Baby to Read
The first category taught is the phonics codes of English found in the 72 Orton Phonograms. The next category is whole words. Your baby can learn to read 100's of whole words taught with Word Flash Cards. The ability to learn "whole words" by sight depends on the right-brain learning mode and the photographic memory found in infants and very young children. No word is too long or complicated for the baby's right brain. Your child's brain can learn without effort as many words as you are able to produce and present by their own unique right-brain high-speed method of presentation. The words are taught in categories. The benefit of presenting facts in categories is that the child's marvelous brain can combine and permute those facts, thereby vastly increasing his intelligence. Pictures are not necessary for learning words from flash cards.
At age 3 the child’s brain starts moving into the left-brain learning mode, the word flash cards are continued along with word building with the Movable Phonogram Kit using the Montessori Word List in preparation for reading he recommended Primary Phonics Storybooks. Pictures combined with worksheets, card books of words, phrases, sentences and short stories. Letter tracing and writing begin and are continued until age 5. By using this method. children read hundreds of word by the age of 3 and can read almost any text by the age of 5.
A picture dictionary is a good investment to use for copying and/or enlargement of pictures and words for making teaching material for the right-brain program and for making matching games and worksheets. It is a good source for words that begin with phonograms such as ‘wr, th, sh, wor, ch, ph, qu, kn, wh‘. The Primary Phonics Picture Dictionary (EPS) has 2,500 words commonly used by children. Each word is defined with a picture and organized in alphabetical order. The dictionary is useful for a pre-school child to learn words associated with pictures. When the child reaches elementary school the words can be written in syllables in the space provided and marked with the Spalding markings for a permanent record for pronunciation . A picture dictionary is especially helpful for English as a Second Language (ESL) learners of all ages.
Milagre and Nancy work in the picture dictionary.
At the age of 5, when the child has reached the left-brain learning mode with the loss of the ability to easily learn whole words by sight, it is then vital to teach reading and spelling with the phonograms and spelling words taught in syllables. The spelling words are taught in the order of use frequency. Words of high frequency are necessary to learn to construct literate English sentences. They are taught with related spelling rules through lesson plans and worksheets.
Reading to Your Baby & Preschool Child
In order for your child to reach their highest potential, parents must expose them to printed words and develop a love for reading by making reading fun with many exciting and interesting stories that are read to them every day before and after birth. When your child is preschool age and old enough to observe, use your finger to point to the words as you read them. Reading to the child will expand their speaking vocabulary, expose them to proper voice inflection, model articulate speech and open a window to the marvels revealed in books.
Many books for reading, as well as picture books, catalogs and magazines must be available for the child to read and explore. Catalogues on any subject are an easy source for pictures of many items. A weekly trip to the library is an exciting adventure for a reading baby. Knowledge comes from reading and imagination comes from knowledge. Early reading contributes to a higher IQ.
How to Teach Your Baby Dot Math, Computer-like Calculation
Infants are able to do complex calculations easily with the use of Dot Math Cards 1-100. The cards are presented in multiples of 10 at high-speed (15 seconds) once or twice daily. If the circuits of calculation faculties of the right brain have been developed before the age 3, then these faculties are easily maintained thereafter. Hidden away in a child's brain are superior computer-like abilities that can do faster and more complicated calculations than the calculator. (Dot Mat Cards are available from a supplier or can be made from a computer download).
Milagre and Nancy work with the dot math cards.
How to Teach Your Baby Multiple Language Skills, Music & Perfect Pitch
Language is an inborn ability. Babies learn any language that they are exposed to at the unconscious level. Multiple languages may be taught by native speakers and with audiotapes and word flashcards. Timing is of the essence; the best time to teach foreign language is from birth through the pre-verbal, infant and toddler stage, as the baby acquires their native language and before they develop an extensive vocabulary. Your baby can learn multiple languages at the same time without becoming confused.
Babies and very young children can acquire perfect pitch by listening to classical music and sounding musical notes. Exposure to multiple language and music develops a higher IQ.

Milagre and Nancy's Story
In July 1996, Milagre (age 6 months) and Nancy launched their grand adventure of teaching Milagre to read with the
"Yes, Your Baby Is A Genius" program from YesPhonics™
In December 1997 when Milagre was not quite 2 years old, Nancy recounts, "I first learned about teaching young children (from birth) to read and perform Math problems when I was pregnant with my daughter Milagre. I was somewhat skeptical.
Milagre, age 7 (3rd grade) reads to Nancy, her mother.
It was beyond my comprehension that an infant could learn much more than how to walk and talk during the first few years. I know better now!
I waited until Milagre was about six month old before introducing the phonograms to her. (The program begins with the 72 Orton Phonograms.) When we first started looking at the phonograms Milagre couldn't talk, but she showed her excitement with laughter and enthusiastic hand gestures.
Once she became more verbal it was even more apparent that she enjoyed looking at her phonograms. The flashcards of words, math material, shapes and pictures we worked on over the months have remained a source of fun for her. I made hundreds of the word flash cards on the computer; as her visual pathway developed I reduced the print size until I used slips of paper and held her on my lap to present them to her. From my personal experience with my daughter, I know the value of the phonograms and this teaching program. Milagre is not quite 2, yet she knows the sounds of many of the letters of the alphabet.
We started reading to her when she was a tiny baby and she has already developed a love of books, too. Throughout our day she likes to point out letters, on pieces of papers and ones she finds in highway signs, and to tell us what sound each makes. She is staring out with a strong connection to books and the adventure and fun they can bring."
In August 1999 Nancy reports, "Milagre is reading the little readers (Primary Phonics Storybooks, recommended in the "Yes, Your Baby Is A Genius" Program) Al, The Tin Man etc. We still work with the phonograms. People are amazed at her vocabulary and how well she expresses herself. She amazes me!! And her memory is incredible. Not having a "control", if Milagre didn't have the early stimulation I don't know what she would be like if I hadn't worked (played) with her, but she certainly is on the ball now! I like to think that any new baby has the same potential."
In the December 1999 Holiday letter Jim, Milagre's father says, "Milagre is on the verge of reading and she understands math concepts beyond counting. She recognizes many words on a page and can sound out the phonograms in many other words. She puts together 100 piece puzzles with very little help to get started. She enjoys using the home computer and the time she spends with Nancy working on basic "learning stuff". At her recent preschool screening, she wowed the learning specialist with her grasp of ideas way beyond her 3 1/2 years while maintaining a very age appropriate love of playing, too. She is quite the girl. She loves people and captures the heart of most anyone who meets her. All of us have become involved with the local library - Nancy serves on the board of the all-volunteer faculty, I work the desk several shifts a month and Milagre likes to go and play the learning games available and check out five books each visit."
In the December 2000 Holiday letter we again hear about Milagre from her father, Jim, "Milagre has been quite busy this year. Besides learning to read, which she picked up quite readily, she experienced her first live symphony performance and saw the Nutcracker ballet for the first, but probably not the last time. In an impromptu performance, she joined a professional actress on stage that was recreating the life of the "unsinkable" Molly Brown. A week before she had wowed the students, teachers, and parents with her recitation of "The Owl and the Pussycat" by Edward Lear during the school's Halloween festival. Milagre memorized more than any other of the school kids, including the sixth graders and presented the poem without a hint of being nervous! Milagre really is a ham and loves to get up on stage in front of people. The memorization of the poem was an interesting situation. The school has a theme for kids to dress up and they call it their fall festival to get away form the negatives of Halloween. They invite the pre-school age kids, too. Milagre had decided to be the owl. Nance had copied the poem so they could work on it. One day prior to them working on memorizing the poem, a friend came over that knew a song version of it. She and Milagre worked on it less than half an hour. Milagre knew the poem from that time on!"
In the Holiday Letter of 2001 Jim reports, "Milagre has completed her first grade work. After the holidays she will begin the second grade. Nancy has been home schooling her and the two of them spend part of every day, all year long, working on their studies. They take their vacation breaks through the year when it suits our lifestyle. Milagre's favorite subject is history. Her reading reached a milestone a few weeks ago - SILENT. And she is now working on the second of the Harry Potters series - on her own. The first book we read aloud as a family, but she couldn't wait for us to get started on the next one."
In January 2001, Nancy wrote to Pauline at YesPhonics, "Milagre turns 5 this upcoming Monday. We are in the last group of the five phonics reader series (Primary Phonics Storybooks, 5 series of 10 books each) and I have ordered more reading material from that company. We are also using the recommended material from Core Knowledge.
I can't thank you enough for all the help and material and direction you have provided. I don't know what Milagre would be like if we hadn't worked together, but she definitely is gifted. People are continually amazed with her command of the language. Her vocabulary is pretty extensive!"
