I used to teach K and 1st...glad to see your emergent writing examples...scribbles is soooo good for the kids and so is play. My fav K activity was what I called language experience where the kids drew a picture and then labeled it if they could or could tell me about it. So fun.

Hello susan!! You are such a great help for parents and teachers who are struggling on where to start...i am mother of a kingartener and struggling on how to teach writing spellings with phonics as my little one gets confused while writing words like train...he sometimes spell it as 'trane' which also has the same pronunciation....how to differentiate vowel pairs and silent e words

Very valuable information!!!! Thank you!!!!!

I'm a kindergarten teacher of 17 students in one small room. I'm so overwhelmed by the class messy environment right now. They don't know how to read, write, etc. I don't know how to split myself to support all of them. The time is limited to 30 minutes per session 😭 I'm sooo stressed out

[@Shayvideos1]

Awww..I hope you've found your rhythm and that it's gotten easier.

[@jessicabryant4759]

17 students is a lot to manage. I don’t understand why schools don’t give teachers assistants to teachers that have a lot of students. My child is in preschool and his class has 21 students and they only have 2 teachers.

[@vicentefelix7348]

I wish I had that amount. I have 31 students in my classroom 😬😬 But they do know how to read and write great.

[@satyaayu9075]

Because nowadays, school is just a matter of business not an education anymore. The higher ups are pushing the teacher to teach and do their job without thinking about capacity or balance. It's so sad

[@vicentefelix7348]

@Satya Ayu I agree with you. 31 is an absurd number and I don't even get any aid or helper.

Looovveee youuurr videeooss! ❤️❤️😍😍 Helps me a lot teaching my 4 yes old! Thank you so much ❤️

[@nirmalaaryasinha232]

Awesome and so true, i have moved on now being in the U.S: from Geneva teaching grade 3, 4, and 5 (8-10 year olds) to kids 4,5 and at points even 3. Would love to know whether your club caters to all these age groups, or just the very young only. Have a lovely week. (Age 3 ,4 and 5)

[@rereadetimehin3602]

Great job! Thanks so much. How can I join the club?

[@paulapnmt9552]

Thank you for the video Susan. Tell me, what do you do when your children have very weak fine motor skills. They spend 1 month learning to form the letter a.

[@NotAboutM3]

Omg I’m in the same boat.

[@poetsgarden1]

Have them use playdough and make letters..or draw letters in the sand on a cookie sheet or outdoors..many little ones are not developmentally ready for holding a pencil. Scribble a lot. They could pick up cotton balls with tweezers to practice their muscles...

This was super helpful and encouraging!! Thank you!!

[@lilysiaw9097]

Thanks Susan this is teachings is going to help my students be able to read and write well. Keep the gooworks

[@robzzzzzz1]

I’m just wondering.. my son is 3 .. he traces letters and numbers fairly and can replicate a line and circle and some shapes in a weird way .. I see some other 3 year olds writing their own name .. I’m just wondering if I sign up for the writing club will it teach me how to get him from tracing to him writing letters on his own and then to the other levels ?

[@fatimahabib9]

Hi Susan ! New here but binge watching your amazing content for my about to be 4 year old son. My son is downright refusing to even hold a pencil. Although he enjoys black and white board but a complete no to pencil. However, I don’t push him and just offer. Meltdowns and crying are usual. Any tips please.

[@LoveMamaAndie]

I have this same problem

[@etimbuknathan1397]

Susan I love your lectures I will love you to coach me please, I'm a kindergarten teacher

[@katharinemccormack4509]

Great advice! Do you have lessons specifically geared to kindergarten in the SJT writing club?

[@poetsgarden1]

the older kids loved adding text to cartoons...fun fun fun

[@etimbuknathan1397]

And please how can I get this material on writing?

[@Dominanceice7434]

I'm a nursery teacher with over 35 students.... I'm finding it really hard to adjust to my work. As some of them doesn't even know how to hold the pencil.p They can read out the alphabets and numbers too.. but they can't write it down

[@tracyhunt8658]

How do you teach them how to hold a pencil

[@blancaguzman924]

If we are just parents can we still use these tools??

[@hunt3amy]

Great, great advice. I would like writing workshop specific for 1st and 2nd graders.

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

Absolutely!!

[@poetsgarden1]

@@hunt3amy great idea...I'm working on one. I'm going to go into a classroom and try it out, then I will make my video. I have a lot of writing ideas....This teacher really has some good ideas, doesn't she?. I like that she lets them write about what they want--that's great. Good luck with your kiddos.

[@allaboutshanel6676]

I'm a mom trying to teach my son how to write , so he can be ready for kindgardern.

[@lisaorubo5070]

My daughter is 3yrs 6months and still can't trace properly..... She only makes strokes

[@Shayvideos1]

How are kindergartens suppose to write 3- 4 sentences when they don't even know how to write their letters?😭😭

[@realityobserver7521]

Please help me understand this!!!

[@michiganmom857]

Why are you saying impor-ent? What happened to the t? Again, good grief.

[@michiganmom857]

Teacher, it is not “See where they’re at,” it is “See where they are.” Good grief.
