Hi, I just want to say how informative and helpful your videos are. I'm a mom (not a teacher) of two and after watching my niece struggle with reading through the pandemic I decided to look for resources to help my children. I've been working with my kindergartener every evening and he absolutely loves the types of activities you suggest! It is so cool to watch him learn and have those "aha" moments. It's like he's discovering the secret code. Thanks for all you do!

These are such kind words, thank you! And bravo to you for working with your Kindergartener :)

How do you stop the student from counting syllables versus words in a sentence? If I say: I LOVE POPCORN. My son tells me 4 bc he counts “popcorn” as 2 words (counts syllables). So one syllable word sentences are fine. He does fine w syllable drills. Thank you!!

Hi Ginger! I'd do a visual drill with him to show that there are no spaces in between "pop" and "corn." First, he could circle and count the words to see that there are 3 words. Then, afterwards, you could do an oral drill to count syllables.

What do I do when they are sounding the sounds over and over but can not blend it?

[@learningattheprimarypond]

Here's a video I just did about tips for blending! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4Wmqa2spdekers&lc=UgxH1bHC6ILqpRMFL854AaABAg

Hello, this is my first year as a teacher for Grade 2. I used to give older students. The problem that I faced today that when the students were reading some words, I discovered that they don't know the letters! What shall I do?

[@learningattheprimarypond]

I would say before they blend the word, have them say the letter and letter sounds!

[@sharidaniels6379]

How long do you give each small group?

[@learningattheprimarypond]

Great question! I usually try for about 15-20 minutes if possible.
