The Love and Learning site. "Our goal is to help Infants and Toddlers with Language and Reading by using a technique we developed for our daughter shortly after her birth. Maria exceeded our expectations by being able to speak, read and understand 250 words at 3 years of age and over 1,000 words at 5 years of age. Included in this site are detailed instructions on how to make an audio tape, video tape and books or how to acquire the materials from us. We offer an easily do-able, loving manner of teaching that values the individuality of each child and helps nurture self-esteem." Especially great for children who have Down Syndrome.
