Dr Robert C. Titzer, Ph.D., an educator and researcher in the eld of infant learning and father of two beautiful daughters, currently lives in San Diego, CA. A decade ago, Titzer taught in the public schools in Guam and in Califor- nia after earning his teaching credentials from San Diego State University. Titzer completed a master of science degree from Penn State University and a Ph.D. in Human Performance from Indiana University where he worked in developmental psychology laboratories conducting theoretically important experiments related to infant learning. While a professor at Southeastern Louisiana University, Dr. Titzer’s fascinating research on multi-sensory reading during the infant and toddler years captivated the attention of parents, other researchers, and the media.
Dr. Titzer has become a recognizable expert in the area of infant learning and his work has been published in scienti c journals -- including the prestigious Psychological Review. He has spoken with thousands of parents around the country and demonstrated fun learning activities that they can do with infants and toddlers to stimulate brain development. Dr. Titzer has appeared on hun- dreds of TV programs and networks including Good Morning America, MSN- BC, CNN, Headline News, CBS This Morning, ABC World News Now, Knowl- edge TV, Real TV, Parenting Principles (on PBS), and The Learning Channel.
“My daughters learned to read as infants by watching our homemade reading videos. They were often at the babysitter’s house or sitting in a highchair eat- ing -- so it didn’t take away from any of their other activities. I was so amazed by how easily they learned to read words that I helped develop this video- tape so other babies could bene t. Now, other families can share this joy and amazement. Astonishingly, after viewing this video about two times a day for several months, many infants will learn to recognize these words when they see them in books or other locations.”
