Pros: good vocabulary builder
sliding flashcards are fun
ok as addition to reading and phonics programs
Cons: bad as a standalone, need a foundation in letters and phonics with it
Summary: I recently bought the lite Walmart version, and am not particularly impressed. Phonics is pretty much non-existant except for a little arrow under the words. There is also some weird thing where they use a cloud outline around the words, and occasionally ... read more

Pros: expands baby's vocabulary
Cons: doesn't exactly teach the child to read
Summary: I love the your baby can read learning system! While my son is nowhere close to actually reading, his vocabulary is quickly expanding. He can say gorilla, cat, hi, dogs, nose and wave. He can also wave, clap, put his arms up and down, and reach on ... read more

Pros: Helps with word recognition & memorization...sort of.
Cons: Poor production quality & execution lessens interest and obstructs learning.
Summary: I've now been using the starter DVD for a month with my daughter and my overall impression is that while this is a fine idea with a sound foundation (learning to read ultimately begins with memorization), the production quality does not jive with the ... read more

Pros: nice goal
Cons: incredibly boring to my child!! Too long to sit still at a young age.
Summary: This system didn't quite work out for my child, and in fact seemed to have a sort of negative affect, over all. I've never seen my child show signs of ADD or ADHD, but with this program, it was clear, and shocking to see the change in her ... read more

Pros: Easy to use. Give parents a tool to send to babysitter to facilitate learning.
Cons: None.
Summary: I bought the product because when my son about 4 months old I began to show him his name located on the wall in his room. I would point to each letter then pronounce his name. When he turned about 7 months I would say this without standing in ... read more

Pros: Encourages love of reading and learning enhances self-confidence in verbal and language skills.
Cons: None
Summary: In a word - shocking. My daughter began using these videos once per day for 30 mins. at around 9 months of age. Because I was conscious of the ample evidence that suggests attention problems from TV watching prior to age 2 I limited her TV watching to ... read more

Pros: Helps with association giving visual and verbal cues.
Cons: It's not magic lol
Summary: I was shocked to hear about the company going under because my 5.5 month old has been watching these since she was 2 months old! She loves them, it's educational and it gives me a chance to get the dishes done. Leave it to an organization claiming they

Pros: Quality DVD's, MAY work on some children
Cons: horrible customer service, once you order the product, you will be out $40-$50
Summary: I would recommend against buying this program. Me and my wife recently purchased the product and my 18 month old son became bored after the 2nd DVD. It might work for some children, but if it doesn't work for your child, you will lose out on money. They

Pros: Great books & Flash Cards with wipe board

Summary: Your Baby Can Read is a great idea. I saw this informercial right before my daughter turned 2 years old (Jan 2009). I went ahead and ordered it this summer. My 4 year old took interest, so he whized through the 1st 3 videos and loves

Pros: word recognition is the only advantage to purchasing this overpriced product
Cons: extremely poor quality of product and customer service
Summary: The concept is sound. I appreciate the 'idea' of it. However, the execution is poorly done. The quality of the book and sliding cards is extremely poor. Especially since this product is intended to be used with babies starting between 3-6 months

Pros: Good Intentions
