    I bought the Toddler Can Read program for my 2yr old granddaughter, she is now able to recognize and say her alphabets effortlessly, She is also able to make the sound of each individual alphabet. She goes around singing and sounding out the alphabet as this is her favorite and fun thing to do. People are amazed when they find out she actually recognize each alphabet letter without it being in order. They often ask “how old is she.” This is an awesome program and I highly recommend this program 💯% for anyone wanting to give their children or grandchildren a head start in learning. 🙏🏾

    I don’t have Flashcards yet and we started a couple days ago with three sounds using a white board. Today we added his construction cones, I told my two year old a sound and then he had to bring his cone to the sound I told him. Watching your videos really helped me keep my son engaged.

    I'm so sad I didn't do this earlier. I was always told, "Don't force it, let them play, let them learn on their own time frame. My daughter is now 8. Struggling at school and behind in her work. She hates reading because she is aware that she struggles with it. We are working on it but I want her to enjoy it too and not find it a chore.

    My husband and I just did our first practice session with our son after I watched this video. He was so excited after 3, he kept going back to the bookshelf to get "one more sound" until we had to stop him at 6. We didn't want to overload him on the first day. I kept the 6 cards out on the table, and he keeps bringing one to me asking "what's this sound?" and we do a few seconds of review. I'm so glad he likes this approach! Thank you so much for the encouraging content. It gave me the confidence to help my son

    My daughter is a strong willed 3 yr old. I’ve been teaching her the sounds. Didn’t work out because she either got distracted or threw a tantrum and started throwing things or hitting me 😒 gonna keep trying on my baby. These videos really give me hope and help me! So thank you!!! Oh and also with the whiteboard she tries to take it away to draw or tells me nonono whenever i try to teach her.

    • @ezinwaikolo4936
      @ezinwaikolo4936 Před 10 měsíci +15

      Try teaching her when she is in a good mood. Watch her moods. Use the play way method, that is you learn and play as well and also reward her whenever she co-operates . It could be a "Wow, clap for yourself". Wish you all the best Ma'am.

  • @kiky4881
    @kiky4881 Před rokem +9

    Kudos to you!! I adore and appreciate your approach. You've hit the nail on the head by encouraging adults to let children learn however they are comfortable. When children start to jump or run around, most teachers and parents spend more time screaming at the child to sit down, be good, pay attention, act right, be still and focus and the child becomes down and frustrated because they focus on the discipline and discomfort rather than the lesson.

    Omg thank you so much for this! I’m not a mom but I do have a 3 year old brother and his personality is kind of different from my now 7 year old brother when he was still 3, where he could focus learning these sounds just by sitting down. These are really good ways to make my youngest brother engaged. THANK YOU!

    I know my grandson is too young right now (he's only 5 months old), but I want to start doing something to either get me ready to help him to read or start doing things with him that will help him to read. I only have him two days a week right now, and that may change as he gets older, but I want to help him without it "feeling" like work. I love your ideas about letting them fidget if necessary. I'm an ADD Mom who gave birth to an ADD boy. It was VERY difficult for him in school. I knew exactly what how he felt as I went through the same things. I don't know that my grandson will be ADD, but I want to get out in front of this just in case. I have subscribed to your channel and I look forward to learning more about how I can help him learn.

    This is a great video with tips, thanks!
    My daughter turned 3 end of June; she seems pretty confident with all the letter sounds now, so I've been trying to get her to blend the sounds past couple days, using mostly the whiteboard and marker to write out letters from simple words from a "Bob" book. I feel like I have her attention fairly well when I have her moving around the room just saying the sounds, but getting her to focus for any length of time on the whiteboard as we blend sounds seems more challenging.
    Would you say the same tips you've suggested here in teaching a toddler their sounds can also apply with teaching how to blend the sounds? Do I take the whiteboard around the room with us just so she can move to keep her energy and momentum. I've been having her run around the table in spurts in between practicing the blending and reading words together, but as soon as she climbs up onto the chair and I try to get her to focus on the whiteboard feel like I'm losing her. I definitely think I'll try bringing in some of her favorite toys to our teaching times.

    • @toddlerscanread
      @toddlerscanread  Před rokem +4

      Hey Sarah- really good question! You can definitely to blending outside of the chair if she's standing up and looking at it, or if you do "out loud" blending when she's not looking at any letters at all. You can also use a toy or doll or car or something to move underneath each of the letters as you blend and see how that goes!

    I have watched loads of your videos. Can you tell me or can someone who has started teaching their children, do you teach them to see and know what the letters are in the alphabet or is it better for them to associate these letters as the sound they make? I hope this question makes sense.
