The Easiest Way to Teach Any Child to Read

[@WillayG]

As a teacher with 16 years of experience, I can say you nailed it. Keeping it simple and focusing on the actual sounds the letters make is incredibly effective. Fantastic video, and you have a really great and clear presentation style. I'm going to recommend this channel to teachers and anyone with kids.

The problem with this is that it affects their comprehension. They are so glued to the pronunciation of the words they don’t even know what the meaning of the passage is.

[@JeffreyCedeno-t7r]

@@GM-pu2lx how so? I’m considering this method, but there could be something to what you’re saying. Please elaborate

[@RawSienna]

@@GM-pu2lxdon’t they need to decode before they can comprehend? I’m a first year teaching teaching 1st grade so I’m trying to learn as much as I can as there was no phonics class in college. And now that I’m teaching it’s, here’s this book follow the curriculum, good luck! I’m noticing that my students who can decode any book you put in front of them no problem struggle with comprehension when you ask what the book is about. They need to work on going into more detail. My kids who cannot read yet can’t even focus on comprehension because they aren’t able to read the words yet and their cognitive load is spent on trying to sound everything out.

[@carolwilliams8840]

My children are grown and this video just happened to pop up as a suggestion for me but seems like it may be something you want to consider. If not this then definitely some Phonics books. I'm 60 and it was easier to learn to read back in the day because we were taught to sound out words through Phonics. The schools now are just teaching the children to memorize words. That's not really an effective way to learn to read. Hang in there it'll be ok. At 7 your baby is still young enough for you to help them make the corrections needed. Be well and get Phonics books.

[@MPam1619]

Thank you so very much for your video. I appreciate your enthusiasm and even your method. Additionally, (and i say this as a mother, grandmother, former bookstore owner and retired early childhood teacher) it is vitally important that all cell phones and other electronics not be given to babies because they will destroy (or sabotage) their appetite for books. I can't stress this enough. To give a little one a phone or computer before they're hooked on books is like giving them dessert before they eat their peas and carrots. Also, the best tried and true way to teach a young one to read is to role model reading for them (naturally) every single day; don't make it a chore. Read to them every day especially at bedtime using books with rhyming words-- like fox in sox by dr seuss. And, take them to the library and sit in the children's section with them while looking at all the books and take some home and return them in a week to get more. (The library's offerings are free to borrow after all.) They'll be the head of the class by the time they start school. Keep up the good work!

[@jessicamcdonald9788]

This is very true. The screens and electronics have destroyed the natural curiosity and the yearn for reading. My children are spread out in age and I see a huge difference in my older verses the younger. Youngest had tech at a very young age. I wish I could go back and change it.

Homeschool Teacher here and Tutor I agree with this method 👏🏽 You can tell when a child has learned to memorize the shapes of words and when they have learned blends. Knowing blend sounds helps give your child the ability to read new words with much more ease 👍🏽🤓

[@cookie6199]

Hi! I saw where you mentioned you’re a homeschool teacher-I’m trying to decide whether I should homeschool my 5 year old or put him in public school but I have a dilemma: he struggles with speech (we are putting him in speech therapy), he struggles with identifying the letters of his ABC, he struggles to identify his numbers, and he can’t read yet. A huge fear for me is not having the capability to homeschool him because of his issues he’s struggling with. I don’t know what else to do and I’m afraid he might fall behind IF I put him in public school. I also have a 2-year old and am pregnant with my third! I’m so stressed and don’t know what to do! Any advice from a homeschool teacher?

[@ShervyseSmiles]

@@cookie6199 Congratulations On your 3rd 🥳💕 I have 3 kids too ☺️ I understand your position completely. I always tell parents you have it in you to homeschool, because God blessed you with your kids and He knew what they need, he’s blessed you with. You know your child and can create lesson plans to cater to their specific needs and learning style. Have you had him tested for dyslexia? There are many different forms of dyslexia and if he does have it, you will be able to understand how to assist him better. I tutored my godson for a while who has a form of dyslexia. My bestie, his mom, found out he had it after the school he was in kept treating him like he was less than and unable to learn. She knew he was so smart and could not understand what was going on. She took him out of that school, found out it was dyslexia, started homeschooling him and he has been thriving ever since! Your son may not have dyslexia and just needs a different way to help him with letter and number recognition. For example, my eldest can recall things from memory just from a spoken lesson, while my youngest learns best with working with his hands. I want to encourage you, you can teach, and your child can learn. I’ll type a whole page on here, so if you want to talk more feel free to DM on IG and we can set up a call or something 🤓♥️ Hope this helps some ♥️

​@cookie6199 Home school should offer IEP services. They have speech therapists. You should be good by putting your kid in home school. My kids are on a waiting list for home school.

But just a week ago my 3-year-old tried to read the word "Recycle" by herself, without being asked to (she read it as rek-yuh-kelleh, but the fact that she even got that far was amazing). I'm definitely glad I stuck with it.

I cannot remember anything about phonics save for the fact that from the age of eight I started reading the national newspaper and I would consume everything and check the Dictionary too! I think by the time I was 10 I had stopped actively using a Dictionary as the meaning of most words was clear from the surrounding context. I guess for me the trick will be trying to get my son to the level!lol.

This is what I intuitively did with my child, who is 4 and can read on her own. Because she knows all the sounds, and we’d practice learning them only a few at a time, for a short amount of time each day, she can sound out words for her self, which also builds confidence and self esteem. We also read at least an hour everyday. This has worked wonders for us.I can definitely say this method is great for teaching kids and expands as they learn more and more because they know the fundamentals

This is how I taught my son to read at 2 ½ & my daughter at 4. This SO works. The first word my daughter sounded out and blended was monkey, at age 4. I sent her to school to "learn" in first grade. The other students were only memorizing star words and pictures. The school "tested" her knowledge by seeing if she had memorized star words. But they never asked her to READ them. Consequently, they said she was behind and I was mailed an official letter of educational neglect and could be charged for negligence. I didn't realize how "dumb" our schools really were until this experience. Today, both my children are very successful and know how to educate themselves on any subject matter. It all started with the sound books I bought 30 years ago. Thank you for going online with this.😊❤

[@jennieyangsays]

Yes I agree that this is a simple and clear video. However, profoundly Deaf kids cannot access reading this way. I am a parent of a Deaf child and reading visually is very effective for my child. Phonics only work if you have access to the sounds. Even technologically aided children with implants or hearing aids find it challenging to sound out all words. They instead do a combination of phonics and visual/sight. What I'm saying is that visual or sight reading isn't all bad. It is for some students the only way they can learn to read.

Thank you so much for this! My son's starting kindergarten in the fall and I want to work on his reading skills over the summer, this laid it out really well and was super easy to understand! He already knows his letter sounds, now I can work on teaching him how to blend and then go from there. Thank you again!

My 7 year old is struggling with reading so i am trying to find how i can better help him. This is what im going to work with him on. Thank you for this awesome advice. Makes sense and seems a lot easier than trying to have him memorize every word.

I’ve got twin daughters who are 3 years old. I’ve been struggling so much trying to get them to read and talk more. I really hope this will help me 🙏🏼

Peace and thank you

Well explained!! I love the idea of teaching sounds before teaching reading with letter!

[@ningnong1343]

First thing I taught was the short sound and long sound of every letter. It really helped. ❤

My stepson is about to be 16. He’s special needs, has epilepsy and had a severe seizure at age 3 and lack of oxygen for an extended amount of time made him unable to learn. He cannot read, write, recognize numbers, letters, words etc. I am not a teacher, I am a nurse. BUT during COVID he stayed with us for 3 months straight (I happened to be on materno leave) and I taught him how to spell his name, write his name and follow an outline on letters, numbers , and shapes. I KNOW he can learn. I am going to give this a shot and pray it helps him. Thank you

1:05 shalom as I am a homeschool parent and hoping this can help me teach our boys

Such a good video. Thank you for simplifying it!!🙌🏼

Thank you for this. I homeschooled my kids with phonics and all went well. Now, I have 3 adopted kids with Down syndrome, and we have memorized the sounds, but can't seem to surmount the blending obstacle. We'll try blending out loud!

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. My 4-year-old daughter was being taught compound words with pictures. I did some research on how I could better help her. She was clueless about blending words. We've watched your video together. Before the end of the video, she was blending the 3 letter words.

My 7 yr old is struggling with reading and teacher already told me he might fail 2nd grade. I've tried tutoring, study with him daily and nothing is helping. I feel so overwhelmed and stressed 😪 but I will definitely take this video in consideration. Thank you ❤

[@toddlerscanread]

I have a free workshop and 3 reading courses too if you’re interested in more support- I wish you all the best!

[@LouieTheFrenchie]
