It does work....

I know people that have used it. But teaching a child to read early doesn't make them gifted. It's just exposure. It's like a child that's raised in a home with 2 languages. By the time they are 4, they are generally fairly fluent in both. Are they gifted? No. It's just that they have been immersed in it since bitrth. Same thing with this program. If you look at the same flashcard everyday with a picture of the object, eventually you will recognize that word as being that object. It doesn't teach decoding and for the most part the kids that learn to read this way do so by association with the pictures in the stories. They still need to learn decoding when they get to school.
