Review of Your Baby Can Read DVD and Book Set by Dr. Robert Titzer

by Kristin Naccari

I saw these DVD, flashcards, and bookset, on an infomercial. They are fantastic at gaining your young babies attention, to the art of learning how to read at a very young age.

I don't usually buy anything off of an infomercial, but this by far has been my best purchase yet for my baby, because she is now 13 months old, and when I ask her to point to the word that says "dog" in his (slide book), she immediately goes right to it and pushes the word over to see the picture. (it's kind of like a flash card book).

The program recommends starting your baby on the DVD's as early as three months. I started my little gal at 4 months. She was fascinated, and always listened and stared intensely. I compared these to the Baby Einstein Videos, and although there are a few very good Baby Einstein Videos, if I had the choice, I would definitely buy this series first. Even though my daughter can't talk yet, she is learning how to read.

It is also a great set if you are a new mom, single mom, or someone that has forgotten basis baby tunes because there are several well known songs, with various verses... but every step of the way the words are accompanied in written letters, with different colors and different fonts.... . I bought the entire system, which was approximately 60 bucks a month for three months, (around that price)... and it came with several things.

The five DVD set, with thorough recommendations on how and when to introduce each one, 4 sets of sliding flash cards, Word Game Cards for when she gets a little older to play games with, and a book, with sliding words. (YOU see the word first, then slide it over, and there is a picture of what that word stands for)....

When she goes away to the babysitters I have gotten rave reviews on how she likes to show off during the flashcards, or during the slide and read book. Giggles and squeals galore!

I feel confident, that very soon after my daughter starts talking, she will also be reading on her own. I'm predicting for her at about 3 years old at the latest depending on when she starts talking.

The set also came with a separate CD of the songs exactly the way they are sung on the DVD's. I put this in my car, and when my little one was very upset for some reason on a long highway trip, I popped the CD into my car player and "Voila".... She stopped crying. She just couldn't help but to listen.

It is an older set, and somewhat homemade looking, like a homemade video, and yes you could take the time to make something similar, but, as a single mom, I didn't have the time. The product works, the more you use it, and that's all there is to it.

When buying, I advise making sure the set is new, as my little one has done some chewing on her cards.

Also, I like that it is simple, not so many images coming at your tiny tiny little baby all at once like the Baby Einstein DVD's. She was able to watch them, because I put my focus on her watching them instead of the Baby Einstein DVD's. That way, she didn't get hooked on the baby Einstein DVD's and prefer those over these. Now that she loves them, we refer back to them, and I use the baby Einstein DVD's for emergencies....one of them puts us both to sleep when she is very sick, but that would be a completely different review altogether! : )

I give the whole system 5 stars, without hesitation.

YBCR & Monkisee
by: Joanne K.

I used Your Baby Can Read and thought it was alright. I was not in love with the program, and neither was my baby. It did not capture my baby's attention and make him excited to learn. I did find a different program that we are currently using and I am very happy with it. It has more of an entertaining spin on it that Your Baby Can Read. My baby has really enjoyed using this program and so far we are noticing some great results. My baby is recognizing his body barts and basic shapes and colors. I would definitely reccomend this program to other parents. If perhapes you already own Your Baby Can Read, together the two programs can really complement each other.

I hope it will work!

My baby is 7 months old, I brought YBCR 3 weeks ago , I've been putting the DVD1 twice daily and read for her once a day both the cards and book. I have no clue if she is learning anything. But the only thing that happened is that Im finding her enjoying the DVD much more than when she started watching it. I truly hope she can read so early. so I will continue on YBCR and wait patiently for the results.

Don't risk your money

Whether you (possibly, eventually) like the product, this is a horrible company to deal with. Regardless of the value of their product they are very lacking in any concept of customer service. Three weeks after ordering and playing full price (taken at the time of order) they still have not delivered product. They did send tracking information, twice, but still show never actually being sent. Save your money, these people are rude and unreliable.
