Thank you for the video. Does the app also teach the letter and phonix or you had to teach it yourself? Did you use a different app for that? What about handwriting?
@LearningReadingHub 13 күн бұрын
Hi Sivan. Thanks for your question. Re: Letter sounds - I had taught a lot of this myself, and I didn't start completely from scratch. However, your child will be tested on this when he/she first starts using the app, and if he/she needs learning the sounds, the lessons will start with that. Phonics - the app teaches phonics. Handwriting - there's letter and/or word tracing in every lesson (your child will do this part using his/her fingers). There are also worksheets included on the program that you download and print out. However, this is not a handwriting program, in my opinion. You'll likely need to reinforce this part. Hope this helps!

I really don't care what you call it. Just make sure the kids know how to read and write before highschool. I couldn't believe the spelling errors in my homeroom in highschool when I made them to start keeping a journal I read once in a while. Words like Occasion, demonstration they'd spell like Okayshun etc in highschool!! This were kids born in 2004/2005 idk how American literacy deteriorated so fast but at least help these 2015-2023 babies read you've already messed up the 2000-2010s. US do better. Fact that I as a non American seems more concerned than Americans is also concerning. Y'all so stupidly concerned about trying to divide on skin color or whatever you're falling behind the entire English speaking world on English literacy. News flash every country has people with different skin it doesn't stop us from teaching and learning especially fundamentals like knowing how to read and write.

Some interesting points you've got there! Thanks for sharing them. I feel that at least it's become super obvious that there has been a real problem with literacy for decades, and we can't keep looking the other way. Unfortunately, not sure that parents are aware of this problem, and that's the whole point of this channel, and videos like this one, actually. The consequences are far too serious. Students who don't read well by the 3rd grade are 4 times more likely to be high school dropouts. Besides, they are also way more likely to feel frustrated, distracted, socially isolated, and even present aggressive behaviors. Also, 2/3 of students who can't read proficiently by the end of 4th grade will end up in jail or welfare. One huge problem is that old habits die hard, and teachers need proper training on things like phonics, grammar, or orthography. I know that many states now require that teachers get training on the science of reading, so that's progress. Let's hope things continue to improve. In the meantime, while we are in this transition, parents need to be aware of this and take action. This may mean getting more involved in their children's learn-to-read journey, learning about English phonics, and supporting their children at home. That's exactly what I did, and it truly paid off.

I've been going through this exact issue with my daughter! I've been trying to point out how she *actually* says "can" vs. when she sounds it out and clearly doesn't understand what word she's saying. I've been jokingly doing a British accent to say "cehhhn" and then showing that she says closer to "cay-an" which she thinks is hilarious but is still a journey every time we encounter a new "an" or "am" word.
@LearningReadingHub 6 ай бұрын
That's a funny coincidence! Even though it's not surprising. It's amazing how kids pick up on these subtle nuances in pronunciation. This is one of those things that most of us (adults) don't even notice until it's pointed out. Then we understand why our children struggle with these words, and we can help them out. Your approach with the British accent sounds like a clever way to make it fun for her. Best of luck, and keep up the good work!

This is the BEST way to teach blending. I do not give kids 3 letters until they can blend 2 letters, 2 sounds. Going through the blending pages teach kids to blend. This method teaches reading a word only 1 time, blending as you go. After they can read short vowels, I take them back through the blending pages using long vowels. Phonic Pathways does have decidable sentences. There is some reading practice. USE this method to teach BLENDING, no matter what phonic program or method you use. I've used this successive blending for over 20 years, And I'm still using it.

I want to explain the so-called standoff or controversy between phonics and Balanced Literacy. In my opinion there is no controversy, as Balanced Literacy is useless and should be called schizophrenic illiteracy. Let's do a simple thought experiment. A child is reading across a line of text and sees a fairly large word coming up, something with six or seven letters. The child thinks, I wonder what this is…Oh, is this one of those words I was supposed to memorize?….Hmmmnm, starts with a d…..What word goes in this sentence?? After a minute the child gives up on that strategy and thinks,“Or maybe I am supposed to decode this word,,,De…..?… No, now I am supposed to guess…” All of this is what they are trained to do. Now in practice, the child may get the right word after a minute or two. But that means nothing. Every word is like this. A time-consuming puzzle. It's hard work. There's no guarantee of success. If they don't get this word, then all subsequent text may make no sense. This is not reading. This is not something anybody would willingly do. The so-called experts have turned reading into hard labor because they won't teach the child to read quickly and speedily with phonics. Normal reading speed is several words a second! This child just wasted 100 seconds and got nothing and you want them to do that again and again and say, Oh yes I love reading. No. they don’t. Millions and millions of children say exactly the same thing, "I don't like books. I hate reading.” Translation: nobody has ever taught these children to read. I've made many videos trying to explain this evil controversy. I'm very fond of this one because of the intense music. I think when a kid can't read, the whole world starts to sound like this. Or just turn it down. It's still 7-1/2 minutes that will tell you more than you dreamed possible. (How Dolch Words Cause Illiteracy and Dyslexia) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXSxdXmKd9CDeLM

There is a bit of confision surrounding Orton-Gillingham. Romalda Spalding was a student of Orton. She pubished her Writing Road to Reading in 1957, which is essentially the same as the most recent revision. She developed a unique approach teaching her unique phonograms which features a staccato recitation of the various speech sounds associated with each phonogram: a = short a, long a, the a of all. Some letters and letter combinations have have only one sound, others have up to four or more. Follow Spalding are: All About Reading, TATRAS, The Logic of Reading (actually one approach to rationalizing English orthography), and some other programs that follow this procedure. On the other hand, and in STARK CONTRAST, Anna Gilllingham's approach does not teach all the sounds of a grapheme at one time. Although both are considered Orton-Gillingham approaches, they are quite different. The Herman approach (which I learned first and taught), Project Read: The Language Circle, and Take Flight (a revision of Cox's Alphabet Phonics, from Scottish Rite) follow the original O-G approach rather than Spalding. When Gillingham first published her book, she also recommended Florence Akin's 1913 Word Mastery: Phonics for the First Three Grades which I have republished - and highly recommend. In 1913 a phonogram was a spelling pattern like -at of fat and hat, or -ate of late and mate. Spalding's use of the phonogram is unique to her very unique approach. The use of the term phonogram is confusing because different teachers use it differently - and confusion reigns. The same, unfortunately, is true of the term sight words, which is used one way by the majority of teachers (and sadly all parents, except the parents watching your videos!) and the scientists, who are talking about instantly recognized words that have been orthographically mapped. So I have taught both Spalding and Gillingham. I tend to favor Gillingham since Spalding is a long row to hoe.

I taught Sam Blumenfeld's Alpha-Phonics for many years. In fact, I consider Mr. Blumenfeld my #1 Mentor over the years. In 1999-2000 I organized his Alpha-Phonics for daily reading and spelling instruction to my 2nd grade bilingual (Spanish/English) class at the Murry Fly Elementary in Odessa, TX. My Lesson Plans for that year are on my "Samuel L. Blumenfeld Reading Clinic" page. The students wrote every word and sentence in the book in cursive. The results verified the effectivness of the program. I was able to test the kids in fifth grade to determine the long term effects. I am happy to report that they were all reading well in both English and Spanish. (I taught Spanish reading with Hilda Perera's Spanish Primer, La pata pita.)

That's very interesting! So rebellious at the time, when everyone was using balanced literacy... I wonder if you had problems at the time for this? It also calls my attention your preference for cursive. I know the manuscript vs cursive is a still heated argument... And, to be honest, manuscript seems to be the loser in this battle. I don't even think many kids know are taught cursive anymore. On the other hand, this is a very "English" thing to do. In Spain (and France, I think too) children start with cursive right from the beginning. I haven't found an answer to what's right/wrong with this, though. If you have any thoughts about this, I'd love to hear them. I take note of La pata pita. I've used El Silabario Hispanoamericano for teaching reading in Spanish with my daughter. It was effective. It reminds me of the system in Reading Pathways in a way with silabarios, as you learn right from the beginning to blend consonant + vowel (for instance, ma, me, mi, mo, mu, or if the consonant you are learning is "p", then, pa, pe, pi, po, pu), so you develop an automatic reflex when seeing those two letters together. So much quicker going this way... I guess in Spanish it makes so much sense to go this way anyway, as vowels only have one sound; plus most of the syllables in Spanish are what in English many people call "open syllables" (ending in a vowel, not a consonant: mama, papa, comida, bebida, chica, chico, niño - well I could go on and on with examples!). Also funny that you taught in Odessa, Tx. I think I'll be not that far away from Odessa in a few months!

Concerning cursive, I have taught students as young as kindergarten to write fluent cursive. The only reason I do not recommend cursive first is that most parents (and teachers) these days do not know how to write or teach cursive, which is an indictment against the contemporary public education system. One reason I fix poor manuscript before teaching cursive is that if I teach cursive without fixing their poor manuscript first, the faulty manuscript letter production (and images) continue to confuse letter identification. I get virtually NO students who can write the alphabet from a to z fluently in manuscript or cursive until I teach them. Neglect to teach the alphabet is a leading cause of reading disability. I would love for you to visit my tutoring room sometime.

@@DonaldPotter_ReadingZone Interesting… The way handwriting is approached in Australia at the moment looks pretty similar to what you describe in the US. Manuscript first, cursive… Not sure when! In fact, cursive is something I’m getting my older daughter to do in her spare time. I discovered on my holidays in Spain this summer that “lettering” was a thing right now among children over there and got her a couple of “lettering” notepads. She calls this “fancy writing” and, fortunately, she really likes it. They look like this www.rubio.net/lettering/lettering-caligrafia-creativa-infantil It’s funny. When I was growing up in Spain I got to do soooo much handwriting practice with little notepads from this brand (cuadernos Rubio). I think all children in my generation in Spain did! They weren’t so fancy back then, though. These notepads had a grass line, a plane line and a sky line. You had dotted letters to help you first, and then you had to do it by all yourself many times, and it was all about doing the letters as perfectly as you could, and staying inside the lines. I think it really helped, not only with beautiful handwriting, but to produce letters that were of the same size, to make your hanging letters hang, your tall letters tall, etc. I probably should work more on this with my children… It’d be awesome if I could go around and visit your tutoring office when I’m near Odessa. If it suits, I can contact you through the contact form on your website.
