Have you heard of the program Your Baby Can Read? I have seen this product featured on TV and heard people talk about it and honestly I am very skeptical about babies reading. Your baby Can Read sent me their complete set (as pictured above) and asked me to review (and yes look below I am doing a giveaway of this product as well).
Ruthanne is 5 and Sophia is 3 and as most of you know I have a 3rd girl arriving end of May. My 5 year old is an excellent advanced reader for her age. She is reading chapter books with ease. Because she reads so well our 3 year old is very eager to be like her big sister. They have had a BLAST looking at the books and using the cards. It is great practice for my 5 year old to write words on the cards for her little sister! They love this product. They enjoyed the DVD (but more about that later). As a note we are perhaps an unusual family as we do not let the girls watch TV except once a week on a Friday night as a family night movie night (and we would have read the book first if there is one for the film). They of course occasionally see videos at church, friends houses etc. but in general they never watch TV. We READ CONSTANTLY! They both have been falling asleep looking at books (and now the 5 year old reading books) since they were old enough to hold a book. We have our 5 year old in a phonics based school program she started when she was 4.
What I like about this Your Baby Can kit:
The instructions are VERY detailed, clear and flexible!
I like that there are 4 levels (each has a book a set of cards and a DVD) and they state you start at the first level regardless of the age of your child.
It comes with books which are very simple and super interactive and the words are VERY CLEAR AND IN LARGE PRINT.
It also includes cards that have the word clearly written on it and then the picture pulls out. It also comes with extra cards that you can write your own words on and with a erasable marker and eraser top.
WHAT CONCERNS ME:
You are suppose to have your child watch the DVD once or twice a day. I did let the girls watch the first one and it seemed to only be 15 minutes in length not sure if the length increases as the levels increase. Since we do not let our kids watch daily anything this would not work for us.
The product states you can start using this program at age of 3 months. I personally am more concerned with other developmental mile stones than my baby reading at such a young age and strongly feel babies this young should NEVER be watching DVD's. Hey I warned you we my husband and I are "old school" ;0) But the books and flashcards are awesome and you don't have to buy all the products together you can completely by it separately.
I was extremely impressed with the Your Baby Can Read products. It will be very interesting to use them with our third child and I will up-date you on my thoughts of the product with a really young child.

I would like to try Your Baby Can Read because I have a 15 month little girl that could possibly benefit from it.
I have heard SUCH wonderful things about the my baby can read program! My friend used it with her one year old and she has been able to talk very clearly and is able to read the words. I am an elementary school teacher and would LOVE to try this prog on my 6 month old!!

Even though I would be starting late (my daughter is almost 2), I would love to have this system of reading to help hone my daughters skills. I'm still very new to motherhood and I don't know where, or how, to start really sitting down with her and helping her learn the things she ought to know. She's interested in books, and she can say some things, but there is so much more she needs to learn...and I'm confused as to how to teach her. With her love of television and computers (despite my attempts at keeping them off), I think that this system will best hit home with her than any other.
B. Wheeler
I would LOVE to win this as I am an avid reader myself and want my little girl (9months) to be as big of a reader as I am! My husband and 12 year old step-son are not big readers at all and it breaks my heart!
H.Cannon
I would love to have this My Baby Can Read product because I have a little girl that just turned 2 that has incredible potiential -but I haven't been able to buy it. I have also wondered if it is truly a beneficial product - and especially after reading your review, would love to have it!

I would love to win this as I am an avid reader myself and want my little girl, who is 9 months old, to be the same!

I would love to win this because we have our first TWO grandbabies due in July! I have seen the commercials and would love to have it for them. Thanks R. Cales
As a mother of 2 and counting, I would love to try this program with my children. I am a former teacher and put a high priority on reading. I've seen the commercials and would love to check it out.
I would also like to try the set. I think it might be worth a try. thanks. H. King
Would love to win this. My family has tried to get me to buy it multiple times, but just can't bring myself to spend the money on it. Anyway, I have a nearly 3 year old and nearly 1 year old and I'm sure it would help with their reading/speaking abilities!

I am pregnant with my first, Due late July. I have seen the commercials and heard great things fromn other mothers and would love to have it for our little girl.
T. Wright
I would love to win this, I have a 19 month old boy who is adorable and he is an avid listener when we read to him. As he is growing up, he would cultivate the habit of reading and this would help him a Lot.

I would love to win this product because I have a 5 month old little boy and I think he could benefit from this product. I am an avid reader and I would love for my son to enjoy reading as much as I do!
J. Klaus
I've heard some good things about the program but have similar concerns. I think that the flash cards and books would be helpful with my 18 month old though.
M. Murphy
I would love to try this reading kit. M.Young
I've heard some encouraging stories about using this program and would love to give it a try with my youngest. C Bowman
i would love to win this giveaway, because my 17 month old daughter already enjoys reading and I think this product would be enjoyable and educational for her. I'm also not big on watching TV or movies regularly, but watching occasionally and using the other products would still be great for her! Thanks for the opportunity to win such a great product!
J Johnson
Have two grandaughters coming in July, would love for them to learn to read before they start school. Don Cales

I would love to win this program. I am very curious about this program if it works or not. I teach school and would love to try it out on my kids! I have heard a great deal about it from my friends.
I have a very eager 2 year old who wants to be just like her older brother who just started kindergarten. I would love some help teaching her how to read. I read to the children all the time but am not sure how to approach teaching a 2 ye...ar old how to read (her brother was not ready till about 4). So far the things I have tried have worked alright but I may not be the best teacher on my own. I would love to win the My Baby Can read series to help her. I believe that she is a bit advanced for her age and want to keep her challenged. Thanks for accepting my entry.

Hi there!
I am sooooooo excited for this giveaway! My hubby and I have wanted to get this program for our now one year old daughter since before she was born. Unfortunately it hasn't been in the budget since I am a stay at home mommy now, and we too are a little skeptical. So we haven't wanted to waste money on something that may not benefit her. Our daughter LOVES to have us read to her and she love to pretend to read books on her own so I know she would greatly benefit from this program.

I reall y want this system for my 3yr old. my 9 yr old has struggled in reading since kindergarten. And still does I believe she can benefit from the program as well. I have been wanting to buy it but lack the funds it would be sonice to win this for mygirls! Regina Dushane
Erin C.
Really interested in this from the commercials I've seen on TV. I am a little skeptical though.
Hello! I would love to win the My Baby Can Read Set! My Husband and I have 2 Boys, ages 6 and 4, plus a 7 month old Sweet Girl. And our 6 year old has been BEGGING us to Buy My Baby Can Read so his little Sister can read with him!
I have a 3 and 5 yr old that would really benefit from this program. The 5 yr old is getting ready for kindergarten in the fall and I feel so left behind because she is not reading yet. This would be a great chance for advancement.
I would love to try this system for my 17 month old. I have a 4 & 1/2 yr old that is already reading but my son seems to be lagging behind a bit in his speech/vocabulary development for his age. I know you aren't supposed to compare children but our first child had a broader word base at the same age. I am hopeful that this system would help not only his reading but his vocabulary as well.
Would love to try this system for my 17 month old. My first child is 4 & 1/2 and already reading but my 2nd child seems to lagging in vocabulary for his age. I'm hoping this will not only help him with reading skills but also help increase his vocabulary as well.
I am a first-time mom of a soon-to-be 2-year-old girl. Been looking into Your Baby Can Read for a while and trying to figure out how to make the financial investment. I think my daughter would be thrilled with the program as she loves books. She already identifies animals and items in them, and has started doing the same when we are out and about. She recognized the apple in an Applebee's sign the other day and was elated to show it to me and Daddy. I feel she could pick up on reading in a flash. My husband and I were both early readers thanks to our parents investing the time to teaching.
C. Bullion
I would love to get my 5 month old daughter started reading as early as possible.
I would love to give "My Baby Can Read" a try. I have a 6 yr old boy who is just learning to read and a 3 year old who is showing some interest in reading. I thing it would be a great supplementary program for my 6 year old.
I would love to win this product for my 2 1/2 year old! I recently found out that she has a 25% delay in communication and I think that this product would assist in increasing her communication level!! In order to receive assistance from TEIS (Tennessee Early Intervention Services) the delay has to be at least 40%, so we are pretty much on our own. This product would be a great help to my daughter.
A.Williams
I have a 4 year old highly interested in reading; plus a 2 year old and 9 month old who are trying to keep up with their big sister! Would appreciate all the help I can get when it comes to literacy! Reading is the best gift to give to a child. M. Bowlus
I have 3 children the oldest being 4...When do I have time to teach them all to read!!!! LOL, just kidding! My children absolutely love me to read to them. I do want them to learn to read by phonics but think this would be excellent for sight words and a boost in confidence when they are learning to read on their own.

I would love to try My Baby Can Read with my 2 year old and my 3 year old. I think they'd both be able to benefit from it!
D. Mitchell
My 8yr old has been begging me to get this for his 2yr old brother. He wants to teach him to read! We now have a newborn baby girl too, so it would get a lot of use.
I would like to win because I can use with my two great-nieces who I keep daily.
Yolonda S.
I have seen this before and wondered if it really works. When I tell my little one to sit and "read" a book she tells me mom I can't read, maybe this is the key to making that happen faster. I would love to give it a try.

Would love 'your baby can read'! I have twin 19 month olds and I am excited to expand their vocabulary and start them on a path to reading!!! EH
Would love to win because it would be fun for our baby we are adopting!!

My sister is expecting her first baby this fall, and I've heard so much about this program, that I thought it'd be great for her baby!
H. Semonick
I would love to try Your Baby Can Read program to help my 2 1/2 yr. old really get more involved with his love for reading especially his Leap Frog Tag Books. Helping our children learn to read is such a wonderful gift we as parents can give to them. Hopefully I will get the chance from your give-a-way to get this opportunity.
I would love this program to help supplement what I'm teaching my 5 year old and to start my 18 month old on this system.
I would love to win this giveaway for my 2 girls Keeley (5 months) and Anna Marie (2 1/2). They both love reading together with the tag learning books (thanks for the post about the free tag alphabet book a while back, that's how we discovered the tag system) and I would like to try the YBCR program, think they would really enjoy and hopefully learn from it! Alesha Granger
As a former elementary school teacher I feel it is very important to instill those reading skills for early education development. I have heard great things about this program but since I am no longer working and am now a stay at home mom, My Baby Can Read isn't really in the budget! Anyway, I think my 12 month old could really benefit from using the series and I'm interested in it as well! Thanks for this awesome opportunity MyMemphisMommy:)
E.Miller
As a former elementary school teacher, I feel it is important to instill good reading skills for early educational development. I've heard some great things about this program and I think my 12 mo. old could really benefit from using the series. Thanks again for this awesome opportunity and give-away MyMemphisMommy!

I would love to win this for my daughter i think reading and speaking is a huge developmental stage that should be taken seriously and we could really use it :) -April R.
This product has had me curious for some time. My 18 month old's favorite thin in the world is his books. I can't imagine how excited he would be if he could read them himself!
C. Gibson
I have a 22 month old son I am concerned about speech delays and would love to try this with him. I also have a 4 yr old daughter starting to read already. He talks babble all the time and words it seems when he wants to. I do not expect him to be as early as his sissy but my husband had problems as a young child and had resource classes. I would like to get a head start for him with this. I asked for it for Christmas but did not receive. I would so appreciate the chance to use it for my little man. R. Prescott
As a former elementary school teacher, I would like to be able to pass this on to my grandchildren to use. P. Zettergren
I would love to have your baby can read because I have a 2 year old that has two tumors on his brain and is currently undergoing 18 months of chemo at St. Jude. He is developmentally behind and I think he could definitely benefit from My Baby Can Read but right now my husband is on workman's comp and I'm a stay at home mom so we can't afford it.
I would really love to win this to help my two youngest grandchildren learn to read. Thank you for this chance.

I am a former elementary school teacher and I currently work with preschoolers out of my home. During reading time, I teach phonics, comprehension skills, and vocabulary. I want my preschoolers to be life-ling lovers of reading. It is hard to afford reliable and research-based products to use in my learning lab. This would be a great addition to the resources already used in my learning lab. Thank you.
My girls really love the info commercials...so we need the kit for your baby can read! Kim H.
I would love to win this product because I am very curious about it and really hate to spend money on something I am soooo skeptical about. In the commercials, it almost looks more like word recognition than reading and sounding out words. My husband is a HUGE televison watcher and I would love for my little boy (almost a year old) to rely more on books and reading for entertainment than the t.v.

I would love to receive this program for my granddaughter who just turned 18 mo. yesterday. I am currently unemployed and spending much time caring for her. I could use this as a teaching tool and have wanted to test it out. Thank you for the opportunity to win it.
T. Brown
I want this for my child! Based on the reviews I have read, it will be a great teaching tool I would like to try with my child and future children. Thanks for the opportunity and KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB!
I care for my 18 month old niece and 4 year old nephew during the day while their parents are at work. I would love to win this for them!
K. Anson
I would love to win this product for my new niece. She is 9 months old and I truly believe in children getting an early start to education will benefit them for years to come. I read to my now 8 year old daughter before she was even born and now she is very advanced for her age. She has been tested as reading on a 5th-6th grade level and it is because of early education involvement. This product would be a great asset to any child's early development. P. Gillespie
I would to have this, I have a 16 month old little boy!!!
H. Keathley
I would love this for my daughter so that I can polish up her reading skills.
R. McElroy
This would be fun to try
H. Rishton
I would like to try this for my six year old who was born with a congential heart defect. She is behind in her reading and think she would benefit from this program. It is more then we can afford as I am sure it is with everyone here. We also have a 3 year old we will be able to work with it on as well. Thanks for the blog it is great. :)
My baby is almost 4 months old. I also have 2 other children. I love to read to them and any product that promotes reading is a good thing. I would love to try My Baby Can Read.
C. Richardson
I would like to win the my Baby Can Read set because I have a 17month old son that I need assistance with on learning his sounds and pronouciation. I can't afford a daycare center so I'm doing it alone. I'm very excited about trying it due to the reviews.
I have seen this product and really would like to have it for my baby.
