Guidelines for Shichida and Glenn Doman's flashcards methods
Shichida believes in building up the images in a child's brains before showing the words.
Content: (start with only images and slowly input words after child is ready or gets older)
Number of cards: 1 to 20 sets of cards (depends of the child's attention span), each set consists of approximately 10 cards and an individual topic(cover page) of each set.
Intensity: Clear images on A5 size (recommended size for fast flashing). Input as much information as you can.
Frequency:Flash only 1x a day (do not repeat)
Glenn Doman believes in building up the words in a child's brain first to prevent child getting bored or lose interest in words easily if images are shown to the child before words.
Content: 3-inch red words
Number of cards: 5 sets of words , 1 set consists of 5 words
Frequency: 3x daily (2x daily for working moms)
New words: 5 daily (1 in each set)
Retired words: 5 daily (1 in each set)
Life span of each word: 3x daily for 5 days= 15x
For both methods
- Begin as young as possible
- Be joyous at all times during the flashcards session (never force the child)
- Stop before the child wants to stop
-Flash each card quickly (<1sec per card)
- Introduce new materials frequently
- Be consistent
-Prepare materials early and carefully and stay always ahead of child
