Babies and toddlers don't play in the usual sense of the word. They investigate. They are eager to learn everything they can about everything around them. They love to learn! So, why not teach them something useful? They'll love learning math and reading and languages. It's easier for them to learn these things now than it will be later.
Math, Music and Languages for Babies and Toddlers
It's difficult to get toddlers to grasp the meaning of the symbols such as "3" or "7". Even harder to get them to understand the result of putting those symbols together to get "73". The image above shows the number 73 in a form babies can easily comprehend. If you present numbers this way to children younger than two and a half, they learn them readily. This is how Enthralla presents numbers for the first year. We show dot numbers and add, subtract, multiply and divide with them. Kids gain a deep intuitive understanding of these basic math operations. After presenting the numbers 1-100 this way for a year, we switch to using the symbols familiar to adults.
To teach reading, we simply display the word on the screen briefly while saying it. Enthralla presents six languages (English, Mandarin, Hindi, Spanish, French and Arabic). These are the 6 most-spoken languages in the world, with nearly 4 billion speakers. And they include four different writing systems.
Older kids don't easily learn reading this way. But very young ones do. The same goes for musical notation, which also comes with Enthralla.
Enthralla costs $15 per month. Click the button at the top or bottom of this page to order. If you can't afford it, we recommend Enthralla Light, which consists of just math and reading in one language (English). Enthralla Light costs $4 per month.

Muir Matteson, founder of Enthralla
In 1982 (the year my daughter was born) I crossed paths with Glenn Doman, a researcher who had uncovered some very interesting facts about how babies can learn. Doman found that they can learn math and reading and languages, and a lot of other things (and enjoy doing so), if taught correctly. Doman's method was to write words on cardboard and show a kid the word or number while pronouncing it. I did this with my kids. My daughter went on to excel in school, usually ranking in the 98th or 99th percentile on the yearly statewide tests. My son did even better. He was the highest scoring student in the United States in the 2010 Academic Decathlon (small school category). But the math and reading cards are cumbersome and limited. Most parents just don't have time to use them. So I decided to make an on-screen version for my grandchildren. And your child too! I hope you and your child find a great deal of learning and enjoyment here.
