Thanks for sharing Mishasha! Do you flash words using GD methods?

Hi,
I don't follow exactly the GD method. My gal is with SM, so I flash words (handwritten on A5 cards). I designed my cards based on Tweedle Wink teacher manual. http://www.rightbrainkids.com. There is a list of commonly used words, phonograms, short sentences etc.

Hi Mishasha
Thks for the link. I like it especially is happyfamilynet. Realise that is the \"Fan ti zhi\", do you know can we change it to\"Jian ti zhi\"?
Is a bit wasteful cause cannot print out for those mandarin wording,
since the children now is learning \"jian ti zhi\". -
Addoil,
Sorry don't know how to change \"fan ti\" to \"Jian ti\". Another website for download (Chinese GD files) :

I think should be Jianti . Very useful. You can flash as ppt or print out to make flashcards. If use as ppt, can record your own voice to read out the pics.

Hi mummies,
Every parents has different beliefs. But let me show you how flashcards really works with the correct attitude, method and most importantly dedication from parents.
I started GD maths, english and Chinese flashcards with my gal at 4 mths old then progressed to I can read flashcards. At that time, I dont really know if it will work or help her in anyway but i continued because I wanted to just do my part as a parent. I didnt like Shichica at all after preview because I dont think I need a human calculator or ESP. So no formal enrichment class or right brain training class at all. Only flashcards, lots of reading books together, Kindermusik and My Gym on weekends. And because I am a full time working mum, we let her watch tweedlewink DVD, wink to learn DVD only in late Oct 08 besides her sesame street and Barneys in the day.
We are extremely delighted at her progress so far and I like to believe its because of the flashcards. I am grateful my perserverance paid off.
Here's my gals progress
1. She 's able to read aloud certain words at 12mths
2. She now loves her flashcards (will say YEAH!, clap and run to sit down whenever she see me bring her flashcards out for a session and she always ask to go into the study room to see her flashcards) and she loves learning and reading now.
3. She can read over 40 Chinese words and over 50 English words at 18 mths old now.
4. She is also able to read 7 word sentences in Chinese books and sight words readers books now.
5. She knows who is Benjamin Franklin from Johannes Gutenburg, Bach from Vivaldi, the heart from the brain and Singapore flag from Japan flag.
6. Now we need only need to flash a word 2 times to her and she will remember it. I trust this is because flashing cards is also part of the right brain training.
Her video is also used as testimony at http://www.winktolearn.com
You can find her videos of her reading words and her progress after I flash encyclopedic cards at
http://quixation.spaces.live.com
Its a combination of things to produce any progress and different things may work on different kids but seeing the results, all that few minutes a day is surely worth a try!
Seeing her progress, it just proves that parents are the best teachers and no amount of enrichment can help if parents are not dedicated!
Enrichment classes = 20%
Parents effort = 80% !
If you are already doing flashcards with your child, continue the good job and DONT GIVE UP mummies and daddys! :celebrate: -
hi i feel so bad for droppg the ball.i started flashg at few mths old but stopped.
My girl is now 6yrs old. Really regret for not doing it, she cant really read.
Can anyone pls teach me what’s effective & how to help her & my 3yrs old son pls?
I ve written some flash cards. Kindly advise on the method & way to use it.
Tx so much! -
I think at 6 and 3 years old may be a more effective way to teach reading is to just read often and teach them to read using phonics.
Some of parents have shared in detail how to teach reading skills in another thread
