He/she crapflooded the forum and is a spammer. The kid is cute, but the behavior of the spammer on this forum - and the technique for "teaching" the baby to "read" - is inappropriate.
I normally delete links from spammers, but I left this up. Its not reading. All reading is not memorization, it is process. And this child is just doing rote performance, not process. Its also of interest to our homeschoolers, who deal with the criticism that they're not really teaching - because they are not doing this sort of thing.
I dealt with this mentality in directing a preschool and in daycare. These flashcard things are a gimmick, and an expensive one. Meantime, the people are not doing the age appropriate things with the baby which result in lifelong reading.
The educational research on these methods does not justify this nonsense. Spammers and eduflam artists love to decry the research, saying that schools and teachers are trying to dummy down the kids.
This one had something to sell, because s/he was crapflooding, sticking this post in multiple inappropriate places in our forum. So s/he didn't get a chance.
