    I agree with ask your points. I have a 1st and a 3rd grader that are very strong readers because I taught them to read before entering kindergarten. I taught them to read so early because I wanted to make sure they learned phonics first before sight words. This is the steps I followed:
    1. They learned all there letter names and sounds in tandem at around 2 years old.
    2. At around 3 years old we started a phonics based reading book “Teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons.” It took me 1-2 years to get through the book with each of my children. The lessons get advanced pretty fast, since they were so young we had to go at a slow pace and even repeated lessons.
    3. When we were about halfway through the the book I mentioned above and I could tell my children knew how to blend words, we started working on sight words as well. I went over the phonics of the sight words with them but also taught them to read them in a snap with cards and doing worksheets. We focused on 5 words per week. I hung the words up and they got to use a fun pointer to point at the words, that made it fun for them.
    4. After we got to the point of learning sight words I bought a set of those quick readers with repetitive words. I used my child’s finger to point at the word while I read a page and then they used their finger and read the same page. After we read the book together like that, they read the whole book themselves. They loved this because the books were fun for them.
    I was able to do this without having any background in teaching just by following homeschooling moms on CZcams who had teaching degrees. It requires A LOT of patience and time but it was worth it!
    I’m now a building sub at my kids school and I sometimes help the kindergarten teachers when I don’t have an assignment. When I’m helping, I often get to help children with their reading, which I really enjoy. It’s funny to see that all the children make the same mistakes when sounding out words as my children did when they first started out.
    Just wanted to share just it case this can help someone else.

      I got that book too & started my niece at 4. It took us 2 years as well because there were some weeks she was away so we didn't do it. It was challenging at first but now it paid off & she can read above the kindergarten level. Letter sounds is the way to go!

    💯 I agree, I teach the letter and sound by using good old flash cards. Too much screen time is very bad for the eyes anyway. An assessment is always a plus you see exactly what letters they need help with the most.

    Many years ago, l trained as a reading specialist. We were taught the method: assessment, use known letters to start the reading lessons, gradually add new letter/sound, the sight word "the" repetition on learned letter sounds, sight words. We were trained to use several methods i.e. Orton Gilliham/fingertips spelling/ blending. Also, the reading recovery program. These programs are fantastic and were the best out there 25 or more years ago.

    To your first point - I’m so glad that I purchased my daughter’s good old phonics workbooks and other educational workbooks. They actually like doing their work. My 7 year old who has been struggling all year with reading, writing, and spelling, the last weeks, I’ve been having her do some morning phonics exercises and she’s been doing Kumon (practicing sounding out while writing/tracing the words). It’s helped tremendously!

    I'm a Literacy Intervention Teacher in Australia. I teach phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension to small groups through the fabulous MultiLit* programs. Whilst I am very familiar with everything you teach, I use your videos as a source of encouragement and affirmation. It's good to be reminded of all the little tricks and tips that one sometimes forgets to use along the way.
    *MultiLit is the umbrella company of a graduated series of phonics based programs ( MiniLit being the most well known. It stands for Meeting Initial Needs In Literacy, and is delivered as a Tier 2 program to students in their second year of school). MultiLit is all research based and comes out of Macquarie University in Sydney. Their Tier 1, 2 and 3 school based programs are used in many schools across Australia and New Zealand.

    I’ve been working with my grandchildren they are on their fourth week of the TCR program and I am pleased and mystified by their individual progress. One of the 4 year old twins has mastered eight sounds and the other only two: s & o. My 2 year old grandson, who doesn’t talk in sentences, and just barely putting together phrases like, “mom work?” Knows 11 sounds and I believe more! So I was discussing this with my son, his dad in passing my dilemma🙄 he’s going to be reading before he can really talk. I’ve paused adding more sounds hoping the girls will catch up with him. To Spencer point, customizing will be key 🔑 I’ve eliminated the screen time while in my care and YT teaching videos main reason I can’t take the noise 🤪 Their attention span is short at times, but the tip to reduce the personal space and to add physical touch is helping. Final note, they all look forward to letter sound time and want to do it multiple times a day… I’m just not able match their endless energy. Just ordered the TCR books 📚!

    I work at a daycare, and I started independently working with the kids on reading. I noticed right away that all the two year olds can copy any letter sound I give them, but when we went through the ABCs shape recognition, I could tell it wasn't connecting with what they already know or understand. So when you mentioned starting with the letter sounds first, that made a lot of sense to me because I already know they can match and will eagerly say the sounds all on their own. I just need to help guide their focus. I have found that teaching is basically helping kids learn what to focus on to improve their lives. Then the kids pretty much teach themselves how to focus and complete skills.

    I mean like from not being able to read even a 2 letter word to her reading 10 letter words.
    I can’t thank you enough. Your decodable books are great too. I now have my just turned 5yr old twins excited to be able to read as the books are compiled of words they CAN read.

    I homeschooled my girls years ago. I’m now homeschooling my preschool granddaughters. I just wanted to share a learning trick that fits the 5 year olds’s personality. I have a beaver puppet (Bucky Beaver). She is talking to and teaching Bucky the letter sounds. She doesn’t want to stop. She’ll go through them all, over and over again.(I know that’s too many but it’s her choice 🤷‍♀️) If she forgets a sound, she wants me to whisper it in her ear so she can tell Bucky 😍

    What you are saying is like music to my ears! I thought I was a lone voice! I teach English to Spanish adults, who may already know some English, but they have never learned that there are two ways of saying a letter - eg the difference between apple and Apricot, which is why despite several years of learning English, they are still mispronouncing words. And I agree 100% with no. 5! I remember my first class (and it was children then) and I blush at my naivety!

    She is now comfortably reading Bob Books on her own. We are on lesson 5 of The Reading lesson: teach your child to read in 20 easy lessons. Have you heard of that book?

I also feel like it’s made worse because I tutor this kid with his parents nearby one of which is pretty hard on him and I think the kid will be discouraged/embarrassed which leads to him acting out more.

      “Looking back on my early teaching career, I made a lot of mistakes teaching reading.
      Today, I’m going to unveil the five biggest mistakes I made on the way to becoming an award winning teacher. And not only that, I’m going to show you how to turn these five mistakes into powerful teaching lessons for your little one, so you can teach them how to read effectively…
      1. Screen time. I spent too much time giving my students “educational” screen time. I bought into this myth that we need to have kids learning on iPads, every kid on a device, showing them all these games and activities to help them learn and engage. Since I’ve become a parent, I’ve seen firsthand the impact that screen time has, and there is no educational value or content that is worth the trade off in energy, focus, attention, behavioral skills, social emotional skills, and regulation that comes from having kids exposed to an excessive amounts of screens… get rid of the screens. You’ll see their reading ability improve and your relationship with them too.
      2. Abc: they don’t need to know the names of the letters, they need to know the sounds the letters make. Don’t start with the abc song. Instead start with the letter sounds. Show them flashcards “This says ‘Juh’ instead of this is a J”. Once I got rid of the names and I worried about the sounds first, my kids could look at words like this and sound them out … am I saying your kid doesn’t need the alphabet song? No, I’m saying they don’t need to know them first. Sounds first. Giving your kid the quick win of seeing a word and being able to sound it out and to read them is going to help to motivate and inspire them
      To keep practicing.
      3. It was a big mistake to teach my kids to memorize sight words. …they didn’t learn to read. They learned a song. They learned to memorize…if you teach a child that words in English don’t end in i, j, u, or v, (that’s why words like have or give include one extra e) all of a sudden, this word [give] becomes super simple. We can do this for most words… if we get to any sounds that are tricky, let’s explain it to them. So we’ve got to teach our kids to sound words out, we’ve got to teach them to blend, we’ve got to stop teaching them to memorize sight words. I wish I knew this a long time ago…
      4.i didn’t target specific skills that my kids needed to succeed. When we teach generally instead of the exact thing our kids need, we are teaching much slower, much less efficient, throwing too much information at their little brain and then we think they’re not ready for it, when the reality is we aren’t teaching it correctly…when I teach letter sounds, I never teach all 26…Assess the kid, teach two or 3 letter sounds that child needs, and this is the secret weapon…and then I’m in a position to give them exactly what they need with those three sounds, instead of teaching them everything. …play games jumping to those sounds, running to those sounds, so they’re teaching me the sounds. I can target them so they’re going to learn them fast, two or three or four days, they’ve learned those three sounds, they’ve got them down, and then we can move on to three more…kids learning all the sounds in a month… practice two sounds until they’ve got it, then try three, practice three sounds until they’ve got it, then try four. Work exactly to your kids specific skill level…more effective, much quicker, your super power.
      5………………how to manage and set expectations for kids behavior. Skill, mastery, intentionality…proximity, tone, energy. How can I take responsibility? You have to think about what you kid likes, what they enjoy, how to get them moving how to get them active, how to get them enjoying the lesson. You also have to think about your energy. You’ve got to think about coming in calm, coming in confident, encouaging them to give their best and you’ve got to be able to support your kid through the process.”

      13:37 so here’s my five biggest takeaways for you today:
      1.get your kid off the educational app and teach them yourself.
      2. Focus on the letter sounds, not the names
      3.teach them how to blend, not memorize
      4.make sure you’re focused on your kid’s level, not someone else’s
      5. And that you think about the behavior, about the engagement (and I know this last one is tricky. To be honest, this would take me a long time to explain in this video, but I’ve made other videos on behavior to help support you at home….)
      No matter what you decide to do, I want you to remember that you can do this, your kid can do it too, and I’ll be here with you every step of the way.”

  • @EmilyBoBemily
    @EmilyBoBemily Před 28 dny

    What do you suggest for kiddos who can’t form the correct letter sounds? My son (21months) is OBSESSED with letter sounds. Will point to letters on my shirt, street signs, books, and tell me the letter sound. I’d love to encourage this more, but he pronounces several incorrectly (as in the letter K as the letter T, for example). I know this is completely normal development - back-of-throat noises like C/G/K come at like 2.5 years old. So should I be focusing on finding words with letter sounds he *can* make and teach blending now? Or focus on teaching all 26 letter sounds first?

    I love this ❤.
    I have a question, in a classroom where there are different kids at different skill level of reading. Some are still at the level of blending and reading two letter words, some have passed the level of reading two letter words, they are at the level of reading three letter words, while some have not started blending at all.
    As a teacher, how do I carry all these kids along?

    • @toddlerscanread

      It's not easy to do, but possible. I did my small groups by skill but it wasn't always a small group. For example, if I had 17 kids who were all working on digraphs, that's the group I pulled. The key is keeping really specific data on each kid and finding as many opportunities to give repetition of that skill as possible- including sharing/teaching families how to support at home.

    🙋‍♀️ teacher, I have a question. My 2 year old has known her letters and sounds since she was about 22 months old. Should I teach her to read at 2 because she is capable or should I just let her learn as she grows? I have a gifted 18 year old and I didn't know what I was doing. He got gifted kid burn out. My 2 year old is highly suspected of also being gifted.

    While the point at 6:20 is true, there are still a whole host of words that don't follow this assertion such as "camel", "closet", "lemon" and so on.
    While native speakers of English can subdivide the syllables and absorb these exceptions quite readily, it is difficult to teach them to ESL learners.
    The student is left wondering things like, "Why don't 'tiger' and 'river' share the same vowel pronunciation?" and, "Why isn't 'closet' pronounced as 'close-ett' --- or spelled as 'closset'?"

    • @ilzetzouves3398
      @ilzetzouves3398 Před měsícem +2

      To answer your question as to why some vowels aren't said the same... it's the "great vowel shift" that is at fault. Robwords has a cool video that explains it.
      Personally, I think words like lemon and camel can be sounded out. English is always full of exceptions though, which can make it harder, but if a child is able to sound words out and can decode tricky words, then they should be able to figure most words out.
      I always think of it this way, if a child is not able to sound words out and their only way of reading is by memorising words, it is like using up memory on a hard drive. The memory space is finite and eventually becomes full, so then old words need to be deleted in order for new ones to be added, or no new words can be added... this often results in children guessing the words that they are reading, which then affects their reading accuracy negatively, which affects their reading comprehension and so on.
      Being able to decode / sound out words is honestly the best skill for reading.

    iPads and screens or videos a tool for reinforcement. It doesn't teach it to them. They have to be taught first to have someone to reinforce.
    iPads videos gets their attention. Attention and focus are two different things. You can have someone attention but not their focus but when you have their focus you also have attention. Focus only comes about from slowing things down and using slow miraculous attention. The detailed reading a book breaking it down to sounds.

    What is the system for teaching all the chaotic "exceptions to the rule" sounds that English has? Is there a good list of additional 'rules' to teach (like what you touched on for 'give')?
    How would I logically teach the difference between give and hive? You say they shouldn't memorize sight words, but it seems they are making a lateral move and memorizing what could come across as random rules instead.

    i am not a born american. I was surprised that in USA in schools they dont teach to read, actually read. Other countries teach children as you described, m o m, t o . etc, first they do 2 letters, then 3 letters, then 4, then teach them to separate, and by the time kids are in 2 grade they are reading big worlds. i found out they were doing it differently here with my first. I am homeschooling my second baby , she is 3 years old now. My problem is that i will not be able to teach her to read because english language is inaccurate in logic. The words are spelled with useless letters, the silent letters, instead of spelling it as it sounds, like some languages. This what makes children confused. My fear is i will not be able to explain to my baby this problem. SO far, my 3 year old knows all the sounds, and the letters, and she is counting to 10 flawlessly without mistake. she recognized her numbers from 1-20, and puts them where it belongs. Knows her colors, and etc. She can write I, L, T, O Q, we are learning to write E now, i started with those letters because i understand that if she cannot draw straight lines or circles she cannot write other letters.

    My district forces us to have students on a math and a reading program on their iPads for an hour a week for each. I will never understand why they think an ipad can teach better than a human being with 30 years experience as a teacher. We also have half the ipads we need for our students so they have to share, which takes even more time, and log in, which takes even more time. I hate it. They also force us to teach150 sight words a year.even my brightest students dont learn them all.The higher ups do not listen to us teachers about this.
