  One success story of a baby who can read from the age of 21 months
Mrs Purnama attended the “How to multiply your baby’s intelligence” course when Chloe was a little baby.

Upon completion of the course, Mrs Purnama began Glenn Doman’s home-based teaching programs immediately. Her daughter was only 12 months old at that time.

Within the next short span of 11 months, Chloe was able to recognize a great number of words.

Today, Chloe continues to acquire new knowledge and hone her learning abilities; thanks to her parents who have placed her on the pathway to literacy.

Home is the best place where parents can teach their very young child to learn spontaneously. Here are the basics of good teaching:

1) Begin as young as possible
2) Be joyous at all times
3) Respect and trust your child
4) Teach only when you and your child are happy
5) Create a good learning environment
6) Stop before your child wants to stop

“I met Dr. Glenn Doman himself in 1989 and started his gentle revolution program with my daughter. She could read by 18 months old, now she is an excellent reader at primary two. I had also started the program with my son from birth, and he is able to solve Math problems, read phrases and physically superb at 15 months. I will always be very inspirited by this work.”

“Our 8 month old baby is ready for problem solving! After our advance math workshop on Friday night, we tried problem solving with him and he managed them all correctly. We held the dot cards in front of him and he can point out to us the correct number and when we left the dots on the floor, he was able to crawl to the correct number.

It is really amazing what a baby can learn just after two months of teaching! This does not show that my baby is a genius but it tells us how important it is to provide the correct exposure in order to maximize his potential to the fullest. I’m totally convinced now that the program works for my baby.”

“Alexander could do spelling about colours (ie Y E L L O W) when he was 2.5 years old and nobody ever taught him how to do that. How powerful Glenn Doman programme is!

He is now 4 years and can spell more than 50 words. He can also count from 1-thousand and do simple math equation – plus, minus and multiplication. Most of the time, he does the equation correctly as he always double-checks his calculation with the calculator. This is because I flashed dot cards to hi since he was 8 months old.

Alexander is now interested in reading books about universe, science, etc and he can read English and Indonesian books by himself without my supervision as a mother. He can explain to you how metamorphosis of a butterfly which he learnt from one of the books. He can even locate the page of the subject he wants to read by looking at the index.

When he was 3.5 years old, he impressed the staff from Science Center by saying all the nine planets’ name correctly, beginning from the largest to the smallest. Although his Chinese is not as excellent as his English and Indonesian, he can understand and read sentences and simple poem in Chinese.

One more thing…which I believe is indirectly linked to Glenn Doman…he can play the song ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ on a keyboard when he was only 2 years old.”

Frequently Asked Questions

 
Q: My child is only 6 months old, isn't it too early to start him on the program? What is the hurry and why is it so important to start early?
A:

The most crucial time for children is the period from birth to 6 years of age. Researchers have concluded that "The production of synapses in the brain is strongly linked to the ability to learn and it peaks around 6 years of age".

Therefore, parents definitely assume a more critical role in their child's intellectual development than any classroom teacher. The program allows the child to experience (such as language and visual exposure, and other forms of stimulation) during this period, the basic foundation for the child. These experiences are the single most important predictor of later intelligence, school success and social competence.

Q: I am a working mother and I don't have the time. Do I have to be at home full-time to do the program?
A:

Definitely no, each family decides the amount of time and energy they wish to devote to the programs.

Our experienced counselors will be able to help you create a schedule suitable to you. We will guide you along the way until your children are on the road to really reading. As a general guide, all you need is a mere 10 minutes a day!

Q: I don't want to stress my children so early; I want them to enjoy their childhood. Isn't this program too much for them?
A:

Education may be stressful to most children. On the contrary learning is not, especially when presented in a fun and loving way.

The word "learning" is not synonymous with the word "education". Education begins at six - while learning begins at birth!

All children love to learn and are superb learners.
