Who is Glenn Doman?

Glenn Doman (a physical therapist), together with Carl Delacato (an educational psychologist), developed an approach to treating children with brain injury, published in 1960 in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
In 1964, Glenn Doman, pub­lished his book, “How to Teach Your Baby to Read”. Par­ents all over the world began read­ing the book and that marked the begin­nings of The Gen­tle Rev­o­lu­tion. Today, more than two mil­lion par­ents have read How to Teach Your Baby to Read in Eng­lish and over 5 mil­lion copies have been published.



In the book "How to Multiply Your Baby’s Intelligence", Doman gives an overview of all his academic programs – reading, Math, and encyclopedic knowledge. The first program you should start your child with is the reading program because the ability to read is the window to all other knowledge. Once you have established the reading program, you should begin incorporating the Math program next.

For counting, Glenn Doman also has methods to teach numbers and equation to babies and toddlers using flashcards only consisting of red dots. This will help the child to relate the number to the amount- not the symbol.



“Very young children can and do learn to read words, sentences, and paragraphs in exactly the same way they learn to understand spoken words, sentences, and paragraphs.” – Glenn Doman
