It's basically introducing the written word as the same time as hearing it. Example: the screen will be all green (or whatever color) with the word CAT on it in some font (they vary) while someone says CAT once or twice. The next scene is of a cat and they say something like "Look at the fluffy cat."
I don't do these videos with his NEARLY as often as they say, but today we watched it on mute, so I could see if he could recognize more written words. He newly recognized a lot: kick, point, tiger, hi, dog, baby and yes. We also teach him baby signs, so that is how I knew he knew the words.
The main reason we got this set for him (off ebay- it's too much $$ new) was in hopes that reading would one day be less stressful for him. The little synapses in his brain are forming now, so the more connections he gets at this early stage in life, the better. Today gave me a renewed energy in this.
