I've been struggling with Teaching Literacy terms and this video was immensely helpful.

[@Lily-is4lt]

Just want to say how helpful this is!!! I'm about to tutor my first kid with dyslexia and I want to be able to support them the way they deserve. Thank you!!

[@UnderstoodOrg]

Glad it was helpful, Lily!

[@christinemilton5998]

I really enjoyed this video. I got lots of ideas for my sessions.

[@taralynnlee178]

Wish I’d found this years ago! My daughter has an LD and I’m always looking for how to tutor her better because access to such specialists is limited. Some of this I knew but this filled in some missing details. I loved the footage of actual kids doing the lesson combined with the description of why/how it worked. FABULOUS! Thank you for posting!

We're happy to hear you found this helpful Tara-Lynn Lee.

[@grcyoung99]

That warm up was lit (1st grade warm up). Very much enjoyed watching these strategies in action.

[@krisbscott]

Love this video and that you end the lesson with decodable text rather than leveled text!

[@emilywilcock4039]

Thank you for making this video! This will help me tremendously when doing literacy lessons with my daughter with a language impairments.

[@jerryjr.dagohoy7164]

Very informative. Thank you

[@johnkraus88]

I learn a lot from this whole program.

[@sreedeviraja9081]

Is there an online course on being trained in this way of reading instruction?

[@ereid964]

This video is great!

[@ediluhmann8803]

This was amazingly helpful. Thank you so much for sharing. 👏👏👏

[@josegarcia-uc5cr]

Nice Video! Forgive me for chiming in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Millawdon Future Ticket Trick (probably on Google)? It is a smashing one off product for teaching children to read minus the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my GF at very last got amazing success with it.

[@juanagutierrez8681]

Kudos for the Video! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Bonaliyar Bizarre Blaster (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a great one of a kind product for teaching your child to read without the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my good mate called Gray finally got great success with it.

[@neoxiuhui6128]

Very informative. I learnt a lot about the techniques that I can use to help my kindergarteners facing difficulties in reading, spelling and writing. I wished I could learnt more about phonics to help my children better though.

Mil gracias Importantes talleres psicopedagogicos que elevan la calidad de educación

[@linam.9675]

thanks ! this is an amazing resource !

[@af6923]

Thank you. I was needing to revisit my education to adapt to new age level teaching.

[@cianmolloy9199]

Very good presentation, thank you. What is the letter tile system used? And where do I find a progression blend, to illustrate: what you should do before getting to R-controlled syllables and after we do R-controlled syllables. Both teachers are using the tile system - so it is obviously common place in some US schools, but I haven't seen this particular tool in use in Irelandd

[@lisachai7981]

What letter sound program is being used?

[@aimeedisser5624]

What reading program are the teachers using???

[@deannawoods6603]

They are using Fundations!

[@hannahmcdonald3445]

Awesome video!

[@UnderstoodOrg]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@emmanahna5419]

Excellent video, thank you so much for sharing. What is the program in use in the video - the flip chart being used for sentences with the younger children? Also, who makes the whiteboards with the lines printed on them to scaffold handwriting?

[@UnderstoodOrg]

Hi Emma Nahna, thanks for your question and we're so happy to hear you liked this video. We've shared your question with our in-house experts for their feedback. Once we hear back from them we will connect back with you.

[@UnderstoodOrg]

Hi Emma, thanks for your patience here. We've heard back from our Understood team and here's what they had to share: Hi, Emma, thanks so much for your feedback and for your questions. Both of the materials you asked about are available through Wilson Language Training as part of its Fundations program. You can also find dry erase boards with similar scaffolding at other retailers like Amazon, Staples and Discount School Supply. We hope this helps.

[@emelynbautista4320]

Very informative.

[@you7253]

Wow amazing job

[@davekendall4698]

Interesting it's more complicated than 40 years ago. 17:50 the kids look so tired Jared looks like he's struggling a bit but he is the smallest It's sad to see. Very good video thank you

[@ingridyuriani3720]

It's even harder to learn in English, while I'm almost frustrated teaching my child in Bahasa😂. The vowel has so many sounds in english. It's a pity that schools in Indonesia still lack of awareness in dyslexia.

[@dorothyandrews8872]

Just found this channel. I just found out my Grand daughter has undiagnosed Dyslexia. How do I get this type of help for her since she is 19 and finished High School. but having difficulty in Virtual College. I live in Canada

[@robertobenitez4514]

My niece was diagnosed with dyslexia and I have a hard time to teach her how to read. I;m so very depress about her condition, shes already in grade 5 b ut still she cannot read.

[@johnoshei5768]

I would work on ways to get her comfortable around words. Singing and playing games at parks and at supermarkets will help her get speaking. You can also ask her to read words randomly. This way, reading will be less stressful. Then, I would find 10 words and break them down, an activity called decoding. Help her to recognize what the words mean individually instead of initially asking her to put words together in a sentence.

[@rosebrown4175]

Pls can you do a video on middle school and helping them x

[@cathyortiz4111]

How can I get my child into a program like this? Help someone help me help my son.

[@UnderstoodOrg]

Thanks for your question Cathy Ortiz. If your son has an IEP, we would encourage you to speak with the IEP team about the need for explicit instruction. Here's some information you may find helpful: Tutoring Kids With Dyslexia: What You Need to Know u.org/1LtMgmN What Does a Reading Specialist Do? u.org/2Ha6Zmb You may also find this article helpful about the reading program[s] your sons school may use: u.org/1T0lKqX It’s also good to learn about other reading programs that schools use and how different approaches work. You may not be able to choose a particular program for your child at school. What matters most is that the program the school uses is based on Orton-Gillingham. u.org/1M9IUpu We encourage you to work with your sons school on this. We hope this helps.

[@aidaarchaga631]

What advice can you give to bilingüal students? Do the therapies have to be in their native language or in english? My son is 6 years old in first grade, we live in Honduras but he is studying in a bilingual school with english as second language. It was recently diagnose with ADHD and also dislexia.

[@clintonvalley6631]

very explicit and comprehensive instruction for most students who are struggling readers. like some of the skills for six graders whom I teach.

[@tyleradam8441]

I started out training my son to read at Fourteen months. Though I`m hesitant about training him how to read at a very young age, I made a decision to acheive it and used this reading guide *4ChildrenReading. Com* He can now read a whole book without my help at 2 yrs and four months.?

[@Thamovement]

Where can I find that teacher in the video almost job?

[@Cera_ve858]

i really need help because im dyslexic

[@UnderstoodOrg]

Hi Sarah Vasquez - We're sorry to hear you're struggling. You might want to consider talking to your parents or teachers (if you are a student) about your diagnosis and see if there is anything they can do to help you. You might take a look at Understood's "Dyslexia: Ways to Help Your Child at Home" u.org/33itjWi. If you are a student, you may be interested in accommodations that your teachers can use to help you. You can find some listed in the article "Classroom Accommodations for Dyslexia" u.org/35cTYUu. We hope this helps. Let us know. Best, The team at Understood

[@keshaunlewis9825]

Wish I got this type of help while I was in school smh

[@Becomingamazing1]

I see what your teaching but it is very complicated to how we teach in Australia. Even the verbiage is complicated I feel. I have been in Spec Ed for some 40years and I am amazed how complicated you make it. I see what your doing I don’t like to be negative but for kids who are struggling I find this very complicated. We are using complicated adult language to kids who are already struggling. Maybe you are teaching children that are way above the levels I’m used to.

[@dara_1989]

i focus on sound .. . difficult in english easy in hindi

[@eldonjanzen9822]

What about the proven direct instruction reading programs developed for the last 50 years. I hear nothing about those programs, reading mastery, language for learning? "Teach you child in a 100 easy lessons" scripted phonetic reading strategies, teaching the reader how to sound out word in a well designed sequence learning approach curriculum?

[@teresacunningham270]

I had to teach myself to read and phonics as an adult

[@mothership1849]

My 5th grade students can’t read cat

[@teresacunningham270]

Well these would be nice or if they had at least taught phonics

[@mustbeteaching]

Being forced to watch this for a ridiculous mandated training when I already have a reading endorsement. All I can notice is how these teachers are getting to teach to a small group without ANY other students around. Where is the rest of their class? While instructive, it is nowhere near realistic.
