Your Baby Can Read - Complete Set (DVD, 2004, 5-Disc Set)

This DVD set is AWESOME! I bought it a few weeks ago and after watching it only a handful of times my daughter (17months old) started clapping when the word CLAP came on the screen!! My baby CAN read! I was pretty skeptical at first but after seeing the results I'm sold! I would recommend this set to anyone, especially if your child learns well from videos. My daughter is a quick learner when it's on TV, she loves the Baby Sign Time dvds and can sign a LOT of words. We don't let her watch much non-educational TV but as far as educational DVDs YOUR BABY CAN READ is top notch!

My son bought this set home for my grandson for Christmas. We have been using the set in accordance with the directions since Dec. 26th. The progress Zander made is wonderful. He was one year old on his birthday Dec. 10. Truthfully wish we would have known about this sooner. We are all extremely pleased with the product and have every confidence in the advancements to come in his education. Another grandchild is due in June and we will begin the program asap for that child.
I highly recommend this for anyone with the desire to give their child a head start and an advantage on their education. You must have a dedication to the program and the child for it to work however.

I'm not sure if it will work to "teach my baby to read" but its worth a try. I did notice that my kids copy and interact with the dvd. And thats good in itself! I'm sure my younger will get more use out of it than my already 3 year old since i'm not sure if he is grasping that the work means something... he just does what ever the video says to do (aka wave, clap, ect.)But we'll see!

I'm disappointed because I still haven't received my order and it was placed a long time ago. When I ordered the DVD's "Your Baby Can Read", it was represented as though these items were in stock and would be shipped immediately .... NOT SO and I am concerned that I will not receive them before Christmas ..... Hope so!!

item canceled without explanation, after payment was already processed. Payment was marked as refunded on my ebay account but not my bank account1

I like that my daughter's verbal skills are way higher than her preschool friends.

the only thing I dislike is that it is a DVD and I try to limit those......but since she wants to watch DVD's then this is agood choice.

Heard from others about it.

I bought this product to help my children get a headstart in reading. I have been playing the DVD's for 3 weeks. It is hard to get my 23 month old to sit still to watch the movies. When he does watch the movies it helps him recognize the word and the picture. It has also caused him to learn new words like tiger, elephant, bears, etc. I would recommend this product. I would of started this before he could walk though.

I love the product "your baby can read" I have been watching the informercials for quite sometime and at first I tried to buy it from an independent seller on e-bay and got stiffed so I decided to go straight to the top instead of trying to get a discount. Anyhow I am somewhat dissapointed because I paid for express shopping and it was supposed to only be 3-5 days and it was almost a whole 7days. Now that I have the product I amtickled pink. Thanks so much after myfirst experience I was iffy about trying again and the only reason I did was for my son's benefit.

We don't have the books that are offered with the set on television; what we bought is the 5 discs (the 2008 version, not the 2004) and the word cards that were included. We bought these in the hopes that it would help our autistic 4-year-old daughter become more verbal. She is capable of speaking, but has quite limited expressive ability and generally chooses not to. So we hoped this would expand her word base.

Well, i don't know if in the long run it will help her speak very much or not. But she is definitely learning to read. One nice thing about the mechanism this video uses to teach children to sight-read words is that they do know what the word means as they learn to read it. So since she is clearly learning to read, she is also expanding her reciprocal cognition. But that's not what we bought the videos for -- we want to give her words. We've been using the video for 2 weeks now, as instructed on the dvd's, and we haven't seen a lot of progress in her speech. That, though, is not what is promised; they promise that your child will learn to read, and in the 2 weeks we've used it, we're seeing our 4-year-old learn to read through sight-reading, which is how our other autistic child, now 9, got his start (at age 4). He now reads at a 6th-grade level phoenetically.

Concerning productive details about the series, it is clearly low-budget. Family and friends were used in the filming and voice-overs, but it isn't cheezy or irritating, actually (and it does help keep things simple, rather than overstimulating). The quality of the discs themselves is not the highest either--they scratch if you look at them wrong, so keep them away from your little ones! (Mine love to hold the case of the disc we're watching.) The case covers were easily pulled off by my 16-month-old when i left the room momentarily. So it's not for baby to play with, but who buys dvd's for that purpose anyway? :) Be more careful than i was!

The dvd's use real-life animals and children to demonstrate the words and gestures being taught to babies, and the scenes change often enough to keep a child's attention without being too quick to shift and overstimulating. Familiar music is a delightful change at intervals, and games at the end help the parent see if your child is developing the concept. Different fonts are used for the words so that children grasp normal letter variation and can have some flexibility in what they read. It is not recommended that you plunk your baby down in front of the TV and play this for them hoping they learn to read. Parental involvement is strongly encouraged, and it's fun to see your baby get excited about this time with you. Mine really do love it.

i'm glad we bought these dvd's because both my daughters enjoy them and are clearly learning from them, even in the short time we've had them. But i'm also glad i only paid $50 for my new DVD set, because of how cheap the discs are and the possibility i may have to replace them. $50 is a lot of money to my family, and i consider the purchase absolutely worth it. We loaned our set to our daughter's interventive preschool teacher (in an inclusive autistic classroom) and she reported that all the children loved it -- and that a few children who are nearly non-verbal were willing to speak some of the words taught on the DVD, and some participated in the physical activity. We plan to donate a set to her classroom after her glowing review of her students' responses.

We love it and use it everyday! Even my older kids love to watch it.
I love the flash cards as well, my little one calls it his game!

I didnt receive the item I won the auction but ebay cancled the order for some reason. Maybe I got it for to cheap who knows>>

I jave seen this on tv and the price was way better here than there. My girl loves to sing along and realy likes to plahy along.

This item came as described; new and in original packaging. It arrived promptly and I am very satisfied with the purchase. I would buy from this seller again. The DVDs are what I expected and have held my grandson's attention. He likes the songs and we will sing them together. I look forward to sharing them with my three new granddaughters and I can't wait until they are able to read to me!!

I purchased the DVD's for my grandchildren. My 5 mo old grandson loves watching it. He laughs with the children and it does keep his attention.

The DVDs were in great condition, they did arrive late though. So, if you're not in a hurry, it's a very good seller!

Product was a fake. The manufactuering contacted me directly and asked for pictures and it was determined that this product was a fake. There are many Your Baby Can Read items being sold on Ebay that are fakes.
