I recently got to try out this new software from BrillKids called Little Reader. It is a useful flashcard kit for me, where I not only can use the software to show baby flashcards, but also create my own! I like the idea of being able to customise our own sets of flashcards because we can show him things that are more relevant. Plus, I like taking photos so at least I find a lot more use out of pictures which currently sit there untouched. At least someone will appreciate the flowers of pictures and animals that I took! Sounds like a vain mummy? I think so too.
Coming back to the flashcard software, it not only flashes pictures but you can also add audio to it. I’m still very much a beginner in using this software and I’m still toying around with it, creating my sets of flashcards. I like the fact that there are several languages available by default for some of the ready-made flashcard sets, though I think I would only stick to using English and Mandarin. I don’t understand Mandarin, so it will be a lesson for both mummy and son!
I will write more about it when I have more time to play around with it more. If you would like to try this out, download a trial copy on BrillKids’ website and have a go at it.

Hmm, Mum’s been making flash cards by hand so this software could just be the ticket…
Anyway, You’ve Been Tagged. Hope it brings more readers to your virtual door. Swing by the blog and see (we’ll have the post up within the hour)… keep the ball rolling if it so pleases you.
Give it a try and see if this works better than handmade ones. Thanks for the tag, I’ll get to it soon
