You do not need to show all of the words to your child each day. For
beginners to the program, please show a smaller number of words (maybe five to ten cards) over a period of time, then gradually add new cards. If you are starting with a baby, then you will show the same cards over a longer period of time before adding new words (a few weeks) than if you are starting with a toddler (a couple of weeks) or preschooler (a week or so). Please look at the instructions for each
type of word card for ideas on how to use them. Keep adding new cards as your child continues with the program. Once your child has learned around 50 words or so, then she will likely learn the words at a faster rate. Occasionally, review all of the words, but you want to
focus on a smaller number of words for most of the sessions. It is
important to sometimes go through the words very quickly instead of
taking a lot of time with each word. In both of the following examples
you would be showing your child the word for one minute, but the first approach will work better. I call this a Fast Words Game.

Approach one: Show your child a word 60 different times for an
average of one second — for a total time of one minute. This is much
better than the second approach.
Approach two: Show your child a word one time for one minute. The
total time is one minute. Please do not use this approach.

If you are going through the words at a fast pace, it doesn’t take
long and your child will get many repetitions. For example, if you had
six different words and showed them for one second, then your child
would get to see (and hear) each of the six words ten times. For
children who don’t understand the meanings of the words, it is
important to show what the words mean most of the time.

Please remember to be animated and have fun!
