... Thinking of getting a good phonics DVD for that instead...

I just bought a couple of DVDs: http://www.bbshop.com.sg/Prod_Info/Disp-Edu02.htm. I find them very good - at least my daughter enjoys watching them. Will review after a few weeks on their effectiveness.

Hi on the ability of 14 mth knowing A-Z, colors, etc., I think it is possible provided parents start stimulation in an early stage.


My son, started watching Baby Genius VCD since three and was able to recognise A-Z, colors and shapes when he was one plus. He had also watch other similar American series VCD (forgot name now as I had given the VCDs away) which had proved to be useful. These CDs are approx $20 each and can be purchased at many stores.

Hi Mincy


You can try this phonics DVD - http://www.amazon.com/Leap-Frog-Letter-Factory/dp/B0000INU6S.

My girl enjoyed a lot and learning from it...thought it was too young for my girl but was encouraged by my colleagues who also shown to their children...

Hi, ref to my earlier post, I had meant that my son started watching Baby Genius VCD fm 3 months…

The VCDs are suitable for 3mths - 36mths, and he enjoyed it v much as it taught Alphabets, colors, shapes etc with classical music… Though he is too impatient for piano lessons now, he can hum w the music whenever he hears it.
