aural phoneme processing deficet; student decodes by whole word sight recognition, not by "sounding out" the letter sounds.
I can not speak specifically to Baby Can Read but I do know that when teaching students how to read, phonics is not the best answer. Before a student can learn to read he or she must master phonemic awareness (the ability to hear all the sounds in a word). Once the child has developed an appropriate level of phonemic awareness, they will then be able to use phonics to improve their reading. Instead of using a program that starts with what a student doesn't know (the letters of phonics), you should start with what the student does know (the sounds he or she hears every day). Since I do not know much about Baby Can Read, I can not give you an informed recommendation on this topic. I suggest that you try a program that is not purely phonics first.
Fridge phonics are a hands on and interactive toy that also teaches your child phonics and spelling. They are perfect for little hands to hold and fun at the same time.
There are multiple programs offered that teach children how to read. Hooked on Phonics, while an industry leader, is not a unique product to teach kids how to read.

Hooked on Phonics is considered to be a leading authority when it comes to reading. It is a easy method for children to read and learn. It is a very good tool for children who are disabled to read and learn easily.
Yes, the root word of "phonics" is "phone," which means sound. Phonics is a method of teaching beginners to read and pronounce words by learning the sounds of letters and groups of letters in a systematic way.
Parents who read have children who read. The best way to start teaching your child to read is for you to read to them!A child will show indications of when he wants to read. An intense interest in books and questions of "What is this word?" are fairly good indications that this child is ready to begin to read.A child who does not find it unusual to have books in the house is more apt to want to learn. Start with simple alphabet books, "A is for apple" types, and start phonics in the process. Keep it very short, no more than ten minutes or so, and graduate to his favorite bedtime stories.As far as age, it is not determinate. A child can be ready as early 18 months or as late as six years. You are the determining factor about when it is practical. Watch your child and make it as natural as possible, never making it a chore or a punishment.On a personal note, my child actually taught himself to read at 18 months using televison phonics...I had nothing to do with it. Other than teaching him his letters, there was no pressure to learn...and he did learn as he wished. At the age of 23, he has not lost his love of reading.
Phonic based reading education begins with teaching children the alphabet and associating the sounds of the letters with the symbols, after this the child is taught to recognize the sounds in words and then to make connections of the word sound b = buh, and so on and link these sounds together with the letter that they recognize in words. Phonics is according to many the best way to teach a child to read.
Phonics games can be purchased at Target, Walmart, Kmart, ABC Mouse, Toys R Us, Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Jolly Learning, Hooked on Phonics, and in other toy stores.
Sometimes it is hard for adults to remember the process of learning to read. However, learning to read is a process that begins with the memorization of letters and the sounds they make, followed by sounding out entire words. Children then continue to improve their reading fluency through practice and internalization. Phonics are the building blocks of reading and Leapfrog Phonics provides toys for children that make connecting letters with sounds fun and memorable. Picking up a toy from Leapfrog Phonics and matching physical representations of letters to their sounds can help children develop the skills they need to read.
I learned the sounds (and names) of the letters when I started school at age 5. There were nearly 50 kids in the class. The main method used to teach reading was 'chalk-and-talk' with phonic methods as far as possible. There was none of that nonsense about 'reading readiness' or child-centred education. What's more there were practically no literacy problems, either!
