What are Glenn Doman Flash Cards?
Glenn Doman flash cards go by many names: “reading flash cards”, “bits of intelligence”, “encyclopedic knowledge”, “math dots”, “Doman Cards”, and sometimes just “bits”. However, all of these Glenn Doman flash cards are different and distinct. There are three types of Glenn Doman flash cards:
Reading flash cards
Math flash cards (“math dots”, “red dots”, etc)
World knowledge flash cards, aka Doman Cards (or “bits of intelligence” and “encyclopedic knowledge cards”).
Glenn Doman introduce the world to his flash cards and teaching philosophy, the Doman Method, with his best-selling book How to Teach Your Baby to Read. Since then, 100,000s of parents around the world have used his flash cards to teach their babies and kids for over 60 years!
Important Note for Parents: The term “Glenn Doman flash card” is a bit… simplistic. Typically, people associate flash cards with rote memorization, but the Doman Method goes far beyond that. Each program engages babies’ inherent abilities—such as their innate number sense—and makes learning easy and accessible for young children. It meets them where they are, rather than waiting for other skills to develop. Learn more below!

Here is an example of a Glenn Doman reading card. Note that the word is large, red, and bold, and the picture is realistic and free of distractions.
These are Doman math flash cards. The red dots are why some people call them Doman math dots. It's important that the dots are placed randomly!
Also known as encyclopedic knowledge cards or bits of intelligence, Doman Cards are for teaching kids about the world. Every "bit" comes with three unique facts.
Types of Glenn Doman Flash Cards
Doman Reading Flash Cards
Doman Method reading materials are for teaching babies and young kids how to read. The words on the flash cards are big, red, and bold in order for a kid to easily see them. Sometimes these reading materials for babies are called sight words. Glenn Doman made these flash cards because phonics is a teaching method that requires verbal skills and motor skills that babies and young kids have not developed yet. Glenn Doman reading flash cards, like all Doman flash cards, engage the visual word form area of the brain, which develops early on in kids.
Originally, Glenn Doman reading words did not have pictures, however, Spencer Doman (Glenn’s grandson) developed a new picture-integrated Doman reading program. These images give children context to the words their parents teach them, by being realistic, accurate, and free from distractions.

Doman Math Flash Cards
The Glenn Doman math program, “math dots”, develops babies’ innate number sense, allowing them to recognize quantities instantly without needing to count. That’s why the math flash cards have bright red dots randomly placed. It’s easy for babies to see and recognize quantities! Typically, parents teach their kids the quantities from 0-100. Even though the red dots are some of Glenn Doman’s most well known flash cards they are just the tip of the iceberg in the Doman math program. It is a great starting point and foundation before teaching kids numerical symbols, operations, and arithmetic!

How to use Glenn Doman flash cards?
When it comes to parents teaching their babies, each type of Glenn Doman flash card requires a slightly different approach. However, whether it be reading, math, or world knowledge, each Doman program follows the same guiding principles to make learning engaging, accessible, and effective for young children.
Repetition is KEY to Teaching Babies and Young Kids
Repetition is essential in the Doman Method, but don’t over-show any one piece of information! It’s just as important to avoid boring kids by repeating what they already know.

With the right frequency, intensity, and duration, kids can learn almost everything. This means staying consistent, showing cards quickly, and keeping sessions short. Why? Because the next point is the most important.
