I am incredibly grateful for this book because it is the one my mom used to teach me to read at 18 months, and it inspired a life-long love of reading for me, and helped me form a special bond with my mother.
OK, so Doman is a terrible writer. His obsessive use of italics drove me nuts. He goes off on tangents all the time, and he is prone to over-emotional descriptions of the beauty of kids playing violin. And as with any book, I don't agree with him 100% of the time. I was particula...more

Every parent should read all of Doman's books. Even if you don't agree with 100% with his methods, you will learn how important it is to take advantage of the child's early years when their mind is like a sponge.
This book is combines a shorter version of some of Doman's other books (Teach Your Baby to Read , How To Give Your Baby Encyclopedic Knowledge and Teach Your Baby Math) into one book. If you have read those books, there is no need to read this one as well. If you have not ...more

This book is amazing! I have been creating my materials to implement a learning program, and my children and I are extremely excited about it. Everyone with children under 7 years, or who may have children in the future, should read it. I can hardly believe it has been around for so long and is not spoken of by every mother on earth.
Good overview of all the programs throughout the Gentle Revolution series. Good starter book to get the idea of what it's all about. I read this between all the other books and found it just as enlightening...though some parts are repetitive.

In rereading this, I am finding that Doman is often inaccurate and manipulative in the way he writes. Not that he necessarily means to be. He has a lot of good ideas in the book, but they need to be used wisely and with the best intentions for children. I think the most important thing I'm realizing is that children do, as he says, take in huge amounts of info in the first few years, but that doesn't mean they need to be inundated with flash cards. Instead, it means that that is the time to teac...more

Plan to use this book as part of Core Phase with my own kids. I believe teaching and fun should be the same thing in the under 5 age groups (at least) and that "learning Greek is more fun for kids than playing patty cake". Their capacity is much greater than that - as long as its learning as love and play. This book teaches how to do that.
