I’ve watched so many of your videos i wasn’t sure which one to comment. But I passed my 5302 Reading Specialist exam. Your videos helped me so much. Thank you for investing in this work.

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Awesome. Well done and thanks for taking the time to let me know 🌟

[@amandamastrella3648]

strangely, I just started practicing reading for my Praxis today! Talk about timing! Thank you so much for your writing Praxis book. It helped me pass after I failed 3 times previously. I purchased your Sped Ed class on line which I love. It's fantastic ! Only wished I did this with the purplebook. The videos help so much. Thank you for everything!

Kathleen, thank you so much! I’m from Australia and I am the MultiLit Coordinator at my primary school, MultiLit being a suite of programs which are evidence based, systematic and explicit in the teaching of reading, especially for children struggling with literacy. I have read about phonemic awareness, phonological awareness and phonics so many times but it is only after watching you video that it finally makes total sense - so thank you! 💐💐💐

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Hi there. Thank you so much for your kind words. We're thrilled to hear that the video helped clarify phonemic awareness, phonological awareness, and phonics for you. It sounds like you're doing amazing work with the MultiLit program-it's wonderful to hear how you're supporting children in their literacy journey! Keep up the fantastic work🌟 ~Kathy Customer Support at Kathleen Jasper LLC

I enjoyed your segment on Reading Foundational skills. I found one discrepancy in the video. You use the word track for an example using it as a syllable exercise. Track has one syllable not four and to use it as a onset and rime it would be: oneset: tr and rime: ack. I would have used the word exercise or baby as an example to help with understanding the phonological awareness piece for test takers. I knew where you were going with it but track was not a good example.

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Hi there, to clarify, I did not break “track” up into syllables. I broke it up into individual sounds: t-r-a-ck. There are 4 sounds in the word “track.” It is a phonemic awareness exercise. You can review this at min 4:19. In fact, I only mention syllables once when I use the word “peanut” (2 syllables) later in the video. Phonemic awareness involves breaking words up by individual sounds. Thanks for watching.

[@DaymaraWingo]

I enjoyed this video. I am a learning coach for my 5 year old homeschool kindergartener and your videos are helping me understand what he needs from me. Thank you! :) Honestly, I am considering a degree in teaching!

I’ve tried your backwards method, but start running out of time, because I eventually end up reading the whole question again.

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Some people don’t like this method. Use it if it works for you. If not, modify, change, or abandon it altogether. Thanks for watching and good luck!

[@Anna-oj5yl]

Hello. I was taught that phonemic awareness is the most advanced skill in the phonological awareness continuum, whereas you stated that phonemic awareness comes first. Wondering if this was a mistake or if you could explain.

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Great question. Phonemic awareness is a more nuanced skill than phonological awareness. For example, breaking up a the word track by onset and rime is less nuanced than breaking it up by individual sounds. But I’m always careful in saying which skill comes first. For example, breaking up the word bat using phonemic awareness (b-a-t) may come before other skills when using simple words. While it’s easier to explain skills in a linear fashion, rarely are they acquired linearly. But yes you are correct that phonemic awareness can be more complex than phonological awareness, depending on the words and sounds we are using. Thanks for watching 😊

Your videos are helpful! Can you please do more about MTTC 103, which is the elementary education teaching certification exam from Michigan?

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Thanks! Unfortunately, we do not have a program for the MTTC 103 exam. Our primary focus is on Praxis exams. However, it's worth noting that the MTTC 103 exam shares similarities with the Praxis 5001. You're welcome to join our 5001 webinar, which can provide valuable insights and resources for your MTTC 103 preparation.

Very helpful videos! Does your book Praxis Teaching Reading 5205 relate to the Foundations of reading 190? I just got my scores back and was off by 3 points only 😢 i wanna prepare myself to score higher next time and came across your videos.

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Yes it does! The foundations of reading and the 5205 are very similar. I also have an online course that is amazing. It comes with the study guide too. Here is the link to see everything we offer: kathleenjasper.com/collections/praxis-teaching-reading-5205

[@Lexiii20]

Hi Kathleen, I would like to purchase your study guide for foundations of reading. I saw that "The Foundations of reading test(190)" book is out of print. Will the teaching reading Elementary 5205 be useful for foundations of reading exam?

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Thank you for your interest 😊Yes get the teaching reading book. The tests are very similar.

With the test being timed, I am wondering how much time we would have to analyze each question to eliminate and make the best choice?

[@HugoGonzalez-mg2hk]

Hi Kathleen, I’m Hugo. I’m really struggling with praxis 5857 PE. I have failed at multiple attempts. My problem is that I haven’t found accurate test study material. What I’ve studied and what shows up in the exam are not congruent. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

We understand how frustrating it can be to struggle with an exam, especially when you've put in the effort to study but still find discrepancies between what you've prepared for and what appears on the test. Here are some steps you can take to improve your chances of success: Review Exam Content: Take a close look at the exam's blueprint and specifications. This will give you a clear understanding of what topics to be covered in the exam. Utilize Multiple Resources: Don't rely solely on one source for study materials. Explore different textbooks, online resources, practice exams, and review courses that cover the material relevant to your exam. This will give you a broader understanding of the subject matter and increase your chances of encountering questions similar to those on the exam. Seek Advice from Others: Reach out to classmates, teachers, or professionals who have successfully passed the exam. They may be able to provide valuable insights into what study materials were most helpful for them and offer tips for effective studying. Practice, Practice, Practice: Practice is key to success on any exam. Work through as many practice problems and questions as you can find, paying close attention to the types of questions and the format of the exam. This will help familiarize you with the material and build confidence in your ability to tackle similar questions on the actual exam. Stay Positive and Persistent: Exam preparation is a process, and setbacks are a natural part of learning. Stay positive, stay persistent, and don't get discouraged by past failures. Use each attempt as an opportunity to identify areas for improvement and adjust your study strategy accordingly. Keep focused and determined, and you'll achieve success in your endeavors. Good luck! ~Yiana Team Member at Kathleen Jasper LLC

Thank you very much for your help. I will keep trying until I achieve my goal. I really appreciate the information and words of encouragement. Thank you,

[@CeciliaChapa-q5w]

Hi, I'm a little bit confused you said we need to first learn phonemic awareness before phonological awareness, I have seen several graphs phonological awareness continuum that states listening, rhyme and alliteration, sentence segmentation, syllables, onset and rimes, and phonemes so I'm a bit confused why do they state phonemes to be the most complex thank you

[@KathleenJasperEdD]

Hi there. Phonemic awareness is actually part of phonological awareness, which includes skills like listening, rhyming, and breaking words into syllables. Phonemes (individual sounds) are the most complex because they involve breaking words down into their smallest sound units. So, phonemic awareness is a more advanced part of phonological awareness, which is why it comes last. Hope that helps. ~Kathy Customer Support at Kathleen Jasper LLC
