    not only is he teaching us how to teach our kids how to read but also how to deal with our attitude and behavior with the children. man so appreciated!!!!

      YES! I am so grateful. I know my attitude has made things worse at times. I want to do this right for my grandson. He is so smart, and capable, he can do this, when he has success he can hardly believe it. If I get my part right, he will soar, beyond me, beyond all expectations. The public school is failing to do their job, demanding he do better, take the responsibility.

    I love the fact that you explicitly stated your high expectations for ALL kids. We take away a child’s self-confidence when we don’t give them an opportunity to experience reach goals that they never believed they could do. That’s the natural high of being an educator🤗 Thank you for your ministry👏🏽👏🏽

    I teach The Big 6 to small groups (Oral language, phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension). I have been using these techniques you describe for 15 years, with great success.
    I love watching the students' literacy learning journeys. Sometimes, I see' light bulb' moments. At other times it's a slow dimmer switch turning on. For some students, I need to provide them with an extension cord for the plug to stay in the socket! My dad was a sparky, can you tell?😂
    EVERY child, even those with learning disorders, has the capacity to learn. That capacity is dependant upon my teaching and realistic expectations. However, parent involvement in a child's learning journey is absolutely the most critical aspect of success.
    It breaks my heart, as well as makes me angry, how many people have such negative perceptions of teachers, externalising the job and forgetting the important role as teacher in the home.

    Thank you so much for this, how i wish i knew sooner. I have a terrible parenting experience with my 9 year old. Now my 3year old is experiencing this bad time as well. I always struggle to get them to do what i want them to do i get mad and end up hitting and yelling and i swear it breaks my hearts to see them so scared of me.. when i come close to them they run for their lives and hide. I really feel bad. I've always wanted to get help with this, I've been praying asking God to help but it just never stops, im so afraid that my kids will believe that i never loved them or cared about their feelings. I really wish to change my behavior and raise them with the warmest love they deserve 😢💔

  • @s4joy990
    @s4joy990 Před 5 měsíci +1

    Should we teach names of letters first or soundsof letters? Or how to write the letter? Any specific order of those steps?

    • @annekestander3677
      @annekestander3677 Před 3 měsíci +1

      Sounds first. This helps with how they pronounce words which means they can start practicing it outside of sessions right away. It also helps of you teach them using lowercase letters. This will give them more opportunity to practice, since most letters in our every day lives are lowercase.
      Letter names second. This is done with uppercase letters.
      Lastly, writing the letters. You don’t want to push writing too early, it is simply not beneficial to the development of our little one’s hands. Have them play rough and use their hands to do more “natural” things that strengthen their hands for as long as possible before starting handwriting exercises.

      Gotcha; if you're just starting to introduce learning time, they might genuinely just be confused; once the routine is consistent the problem might resolve itself. I recommend starting with only a couple minutes at a time, maybe finding a space that isn't associated with play time. I have a video on here about what to do if your child doesn't want to do the learning time and parts of it might be helpful in this case

    I'm really bad in teaching my 4 year old, also he doesn't listen to me, when I ask him question he screens, laugh, throw him self on fool makes strange noises 😢😢 and sometimes by punching him I ask what number is this he does know the number but tells me something else 😔😔 at that point i had it, I stop, other wise I loose my temper and say you know what number this is don't be smart Alex. So I think it's better if I don't teach him. I have no patience

    • @Dumphy100
      @Dumphy100 Před 19 dny

      So instead of asking questions give a command and make sure it is conducive to his learning. For example, if you want to ask 'What is this?' (showing card etc) then perhaps show in 'real form' by pointing at the object. Then you can make connections with the written representation.

    Children are not dogs. They do not need training! The big question is.. What is the PURPOSE to learn to read at 3 or 4 or 5?? What is it for? REALLY, I wonder. Is it To say that My child is the best, the smartest? Children learn to talk first. With 3, 4 and 5 children are still learning to talk and elaborate Their expressive language.
    This may works...
    But its TOTALLY unecessary and in my opinion disrespectfull !!! There are a lot more important things to learn that actually kids WANNA learn!! Not "make them do what a adult wants them to do in any means" !!!!
