Not a scam. It worked for my Daughter. She was reading by the age of 2; Not words, books. (Children's books, but well above "see spot run") She was always excited to watch the dvd's. We used the dvd's, the sliding cards and the flash cards. It gave her a great head start. She is in seventh grade and has been the top of her class every year. She was the only one in her kindergarten class that could read, write, tell time on a regular clock and know how to add and subtract. It didn't teach math, but she has been tops on that also. I worked with her on the math, but being able to read helped her along. I believe the key to any learning is for the child to enjoy it. Our child enjoyed them very much. Things have changed drastically over the past decade, but a baby doesn't know if its 2022 or 1772. I would recommend using this first over modern day electronic devices. Don't use the cell phone to calm them. Once they're exposed to the mind numbing digital age stuff, you may lose them. Don't make it a chore, but a fun time and keep learning as a fun thing to do as long as you can.

I brought this from Best Buy for my daughter and I really expected more from the product. I integrated My Baby Can Read into my home-schooling daily curriculum. My two kids learned to read faster with the Hooked on Phonics program.

What's so magic about the age of "12"? A lot of people don't spell-check in social media, but it's not unusual for parents who received a lousy reading education to strongly encourage their children to become very literate. See Dr. Ben Carson: His mother forced him to write and she pretended to correct his papers that she couldn't even read. He did alright. I've written more with actual linked evidence showing that all spelling bee people realize that their champions recognize words as pictures as letters & that science recognizes this as "MOR" = "Mental Orthographic Representations", but it got censored out of here. It seems they don't like actual evidence here.
Dr. Titzer (a lifelong PhD academic specializing in infant learning) couldn't afford to defend himself from the government that fined him for every penny he was ever paid for the product, so he just went bankrupt, and returned with "Your Baby Can Learn" and "Your Child Can Discover" before a "Your Child Can Read" course, but they all teach reading - now in eight languages. The governments' educational fascists aren't stopping him from helping people teach their babies to read - which only helps prove the scam that is our governments' 19th century Prussian (K-PhD Cultural Marxist indoctrination & fake-)education system designed to produce obedient soldiers & factory drones. They just forced Dr. Titzer to not say that's what they're doing. sshhh... just 'sieg heil' the educrats & carry on...
re: our governments' fake education system: see John Taylor Gatto - NYC teacher of the year three times before retiring in the WSJ editorial page saying he 'can't hurt children anymore'. Is it a coincidence that the more the federal government gets involved, the worse it gets? At least it was forcing schools to let little boys (& grown men) use the 'little girls' room' in schools - that should make the lefties happy.

Why do complain about people 'memorizing words'?!
Do they complain about memorizing multiplication tables?

the commentaries are to vast but with one purpose, the system works and this was a classless lawsuit. If it did not work for a few kids and the parents DID help, then I will guess that is 1 out of a very large number. Honestly, I would guess that the child or the parent has special needs that even this system may not be able to help. I know that I am legit and not paid!

I appreciate your presentation. I will defend thephoenix, as the core of the passion stems from a program that has helped thousands of children and is close to be called "God Given" to parents and children. To see this program attacked with a class-action lawsuit painful! I personally drove over hundred miles for the opportunity to thank Dr. Titzer for the amazing impact his product had for our family. So I get the passion and understand the boarder line extreme language from thepheonix. God bless Dr. Titzer and thepheonix for taking a stand.

Hmmm, so your kid is one out of 10,000 that is messed up. I will take those odds. That fact that you reference the videos and no mention of your involvement tells me that you did NOT read the the instructions. Parent involvement is imperative! My two kids and benefited from the this program and pray that God has a special place for Dr. Titzer in Heaven as he served the children.

Too funny. I read words and do not comprehend their meaning. I look at the context and then I go to the dictionary. But be assured that at the onset of my process, I am reading the word even if I do not comprehend it. Yes, I have a degree.

Well, I hope your five-year old can spell better than you can. And also, the proof is not in the pudding. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Entirely different meaning. In this case it would mean that if your child is still a better reader than his/her peers at 12, then the system will be proven.

This is a great source for education, it really is! Listen to the parents outline and follow it, you will see amazing advances in you baby's understanding. I saw it on the very first day and have bought many of the other products like Baby can Speak Spanish and Discover. Very well thought out course!

I would defend this program to my dying day but I have to admit I'd consider your point well taken. Dr. Titzer has a "parents video" where he discusses the window of opportunity for early learning and he also discusses how not to be concerned if your child doesn't seem to be paying attention. We use to put these videos on for our daughter while making breakfast and again while making dinner and she would get absorbed into them. I could easily see if your child was easily distracted or "always on the move" how mileage would vary. We lent this program to our babysitter and she would put it on for other kids she looked after as well, they benefitted from the program but perhaps not to the extent our daughter did, i think the reason for it might have been partially because our daughter watched them twice a day every day while they had less exposure.

My daughter was reading books well before the age of two thanks to this program. I tell anyone who has a young child about it. What struck me about the program was how easily she picked up new words. Here she is reading before age 2 and review the program you will see the vast majority of these words aren't introduced in the program. She was tested reading at a grade four level in the second month of kindergarden which is where they stopped testing. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

I indeed purchased it for my son when he was 2. It did work for a while. We were surprised at that time. However, he needed IEP when he started his preschool. I would say some kids are early readers, some are not. My son is easy to be distracted. So when he was younger, he wasn't aware of his surroundings much. Any kind of learning program might be effective at that time. But he grew older, he needed to have one on one tutoring He is fine with reading now. His math still needs some help. But I believe he will get better gradually. Some kids are late boomers. My younger brother used to have difficult time in school when he was young. He has IQ over 150. However, he had ADD when he was young. At that time, no help for that part. Fortunately, he grew out of it and he is a medical doctor now. Some kids might show early promising when they are young and lose momentum later. Learning is a life long career. Parents should inspire their children to learn not try to make them portages.

reading is memorization ... its not some magical thing we pick up... we memorize what shapes certain letters are and then the sound they are supposed to make... I first learned to read by memorization from golden books... aside the terrible grammatically errors here in my slang speech, I could read properly before I was 4 and I have an IQ of 187 ... I memorized the words and pictures in my books as a small child till I could quote them cover to cover... no one in school taught me to read, the instructors merely introduced another side to memorization... instead of whole words it was single letters... we learn what something is by seeing it over and over ... hearing it over and over... learning is memorization ... nothing more... your brain recognizes the pattern ... so to say memorization is not learning is a great falsity and THAT is a SCAM!

My guess is parents who did not teach their babies anything are pissed off at programs like this and blame it for their own mistakes.

SpritOf1776 — Fri, 29 Nov 2013 22:16:31 -0000

absolutely wrong. My mother's the 30-year educator and , while skeptical, has a value weighted our daughter at 123 and four years old. Our daughter is reading and comprehending and recalling all the points, characters, and even emotions in the stories. At 4 years old she is reading chapter books. Torpedoeing a program that has not only works but absolute merit and a proven track record with a reasonable percent of children. Even if it is uncovering gifted children as early as 3 months it is worth its salt. When a class action lawsuit can put a company out of business is doing more damage than good. The lawsuit is unreasonable.

Yes, it's definitely the scientists that are wrong and not you.

"...scientists who have tested the product’s claims have found that infants
using the systems are not reading, but rather memorizing shapes of the
letters presented before them..."

Wait a minute, that sounds an awful lot like how I learned to read, by making my Mom point at the words she was reading to me as she spoke them. Hmm, actually that's how everyone I know learned their native language as child, by recognizing the shapes of the letters they know repeating in words they didn't know and sounding them out and then asking for a meaning. For Instance, I remember my Dad telling me:

Bat - something you hit a ball with.

Battle - a bunch of people hitting each other with bats instead of balls.

Bat + ball = batball becomes batall becomes battle.

Hey, yeah, that mades sense to me as a kid! In fact, I'm pretty sure that I what I call reading today is done by recognizing the shape and structure of a word and assigning a meaning to it in my mind. I guess that, according to these scientists who claim that reading does not involve memorization or recognition of shapes of letter, I never learned to read. Whom ever knew that I was illiterate? I need to go sign up for some government grants.

Comprehension is one of the five components of reading. Please take a teaching reading class before you provide false information.

Are you kidding?

Out of 65 comments 57 of them appear to be parents raving that the system works.

NOT A SCAM
Add my name name to the long list of parents with babies who can read thanks to this new system:

This System works!

My Baby Can Read, and he is 18 months old.

“The Kids aren't reading the words, they are just memorizing the words?”

That is like saying:

“The
Kids aren't eating the food they are just swallowing the food.”
Does not make sense

I purchased the "Your Baby can Read" system while my wife was
pregnant and following instructions, started him on the program
promptly on the day he turned 3 months. I of course have also been
reading books to him every day since before he was even 3 months and
started him on board books since he was old enough to focus.

I originally purchased the deluxe 5 part set from Amazon.com, but now
days you can get it on the yourbabycanread website for like $140 or
something, an excellent deal for the extensive materials you will
receive. I had watched the infomercials for years and told myself I
would get the system for my kid if I ever had one.

It is also my formal undergraduate training in Biological and
developmental psychology, that allowed me to understand just how
different the "Your Baby can Read" program really is from
everything else available on or off market. And now years
later, my hunch about the "Your Baby can Read" system, has
rewarded me in ways that I only dreamed of.

I started him on the "Your Baby can Read" system at 3 months and he has been
loving the system ever since. I have not followed the
instructions of the system as closely as I could have, I suppose, but
I have been very busy, and we have been commuting halfway across the
globe. With that said, I have been showing him the videos
almost every day since he was 3 months old, I have been doing the
flip up books and the sliding flashcards several times per week.
He demands the videos even though he doesn't care to much for other
TV(he hates "Teletubbies" and is utterly bored by "Baby
Einstien"). In fact one of the first words he ever
learned to say was "DVD" but when he pronounces it, it
sounds more like "DDD", he learned this exclusively so he
could tell me to put the "Your Baby can Read" dvds on.
I have noticed his attention span for the videos has been increasing
dramatically, when I started him at three months he could barely make
it through the first one, now he watches one right after the other.

I tried the regular advanced flashcards with no picture for the first
time a couple weeks ago, and to my amazement, he immediately began
pointing to his nose, eyes, feet, etc., when I showed him the
corresponding flashcards, with no prompting, or pictures or anything,
on the very first try! It absolutely blew my mind. It is
very clear to me now that he understands and reads many more words
than he speaks.

I did not train him with the non picture flashcards
at all, but he already knew many of them, from the video and sliding
flashcards and books. I been have taking a much closer look at
the "Your Baby can Read" system over the last couple of
weeks and started implementing some of the other techniques and games
outlined in the "Your Baby can Read" program. I
decided to by another deluxe system on amazon and I could not find
it, when I started googling for another source that is when I
discovered they had gone out of business.

the "Your Baby can Read" work is both paramount and historical
in my opinion, we are at a crossroads in education, I believe, and as
leaps in cognitive science are gradually becoming mainstream.
Dr Titzer stumbled on some of this science, discovered, further
clarified, expounded, assimilated, and formulated it into a simple
effective system, that works brilliantly.

Although I had only seen the infomercial at the time, I have been suggesting
and recomending the "Your Baby can Read" system to my
friends and family with babies for years, because Dr Titzer's
research appeared to parallel my own research in so many ways.

I believe BF Skinner is one of the great scientists of our age, and the story the "Your Baby can Read" dvds tells us about Dr. Titzer and his daughter is reminiscent of the training that Dr. Skinner did with his own daughter.

However I have to admit, for the average person in today's world, "Your
Baby Can Read" is a bit more practical than a traditional
Skinner Box.

It has been a real shock for me as I have realized that the media was bashing Dr. Titzer and “Your Baby Can Read” the same way it had bashed Dr. Skinner so many years ago.

Bashing is one thing, but frivolous lawsuits that destroy literacy programs takes it to a whole different level. Make no mistake about it. What the CFCC has done to the "Your Baby can Read" company should be criminal. A crime against country and humanity.
