How To Use The MonkiSee Flash Cards

Thank you so much for choosing our products! You now have in your hands a powerful tool that can change the course of your child’s future. Knowing how to read can open up a world of opportunities for them. Literacy is the key to knowledge, and you have chosen to give this gift to your child at a time when it is easiest for them to attain.

How to use the Monkisee Flash Cards

To begin teaching your baby to read with the “Baby’s First Words” flash cards, select five cards from the set. Sit your child on your lap, in a highchair or anywhere that your child will be viewing the cards in an upright position. Hold the set of flash cards from the sides. You may use one or both hands to do this. Make sure not to block the words or the images as you are handling the flash cards. Quickly flip through each card showing your baby the word first and then the picture on the reverse side. Say the word on each card in a clear voice.

(The MonkiSee Flash Cards are designed to be flipped towards the baby to reveal the picture on the opposite side. This adds speed to your presentation, which is key to making the system successful.)

Depending on your baby’s age, you may be able to show them more or less of the cards during each session. Babies that cannot yet move around will usually sit still for longer periods and may just absorb the entire set. Babies that have gained mobility may only sit still for a moment, forcing you to present a few cards quickly at one session.

Tailor each session specifically with your baby’s interest in mind. If your child is very intently reading the words, increase the size of the set you present. If your child is wiggling away after five cards, present only 3 and observe their interest level.

* Important Note *

Make sure that there are no distractions when you are presenting words to your child. Turn off the television or the radio. To capture your baby’s full attention, be sure the room is quiet.

Flash the cards as quickly as you can, while clearly saying the word. It is very important to go through the words quickly. Babies learn fast. They don’t need to stare at the card for a long time to read it.

Observe your baby closely to determine if you can add more words to the set, or if you need to take some words away. Stop showing the cards before your child wants to stop. You want this to be a game that your child enjoys and always looks forward to playing with you.

Always shuffle the cards before you present them, to keep baby’s interest.

Adapt the program to your baby’s interest level.

Present the words to your child quickly and often. If you can present the words three times in one day, you are doing great. If you show them twice, you are doing well. If you only get through them once, you are still teaching your child to read. The frequency in which you present the words will determine how quickly your child will learn to read.

We recommend showing the words up to three times a day. Remember, you will be flashing the cards very quickly. If you show your child the words three times a day, this should take less than five minutes a day. If your child has seen all the words more than twenty times and is losing interest, it is time to move on to new words. When babies, who have been excited about their reading program, suddenly lose interest, it is usually because they are bored with the same old words. It is time to present new words to your child.
