Hi ms. Natalie. Am interested about your program . My daughter has Down syndrome . She’s 15 years old. And her power is reading so I write all the words every time I teach her . How can I get your curriculum in reading and also writing too. I am willing to pay for it . I watched some of your videos in you tube but I want to get access in all . Actually , I used that method of startling to read using 4 blank squares and it works .
Hi, Grace! You can get my whole program on my website, www.specialreads.com. You can buy separate levels or the full program, the "3 in 1 Bundle." The full program will give you all the help you need with materials and instructions. If you have more questions, just ask!
You're awesome, Natalie! Thank you. My mom had told me, "7, 17, or 77...we all need a little love and understanding but we need that little so much." Thank you for reminding me. My Daniel is 11 and wanting, fighting for independence. I miss my baby boy and wish Incould turn the clock back".❤
Natalie, you are awesome. Thank you for doing this video, it shows how with the play by play in action so we can see how to do this. You are a Doman wiz!
Natalie, this is perfect advice even for us as teachers...when I feel useless, like I'm not going to get through to my son past the very active adhd and I feel like crying. I watch some you tube kids songs,, put on my animated face and then I go in and do what you say, make the task shorter. It works! Thank you for blazing the trail before us and sharing your brain and experience with us Natalie! You are one of the few I've clung to, thank you so very much!!! May you be blessed abundantly for what you do for us! Jonathan is blessed you are his mama.

Hi, Maharat- It looks like "Whole Child Reading" is only available now in paperback; the kindle version is not available. Here's the link to the paperback: www.amazon.com/Whole-Child-Reading-Quick-Start-Developmental/dp/1606132830/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?crid=24LAZCR2K8OH9&keywords=whole+child+reading+natalie+hale+in+kindle&qid=1674274592&sprefix=whole+child+reading+natalie+hale+in+kindle%2Caps%2C133&sr=8-1-fkmr0
Deela, of course the teacher will use whatever phrase is comfortable for the student, and most importantly, whatever works for the student. "Zip the lip" is of course a rhyme. One thing we want to do is keep the prompt short; the shorter the better because it is more effective in getting the student's attention. So please use whatever works for your learner.
Hi, Marnina- Being nonverbal is not a problem except for the "naming" part of the technique; at that point, ordinarily the learner could point to a picture of what is being named on the flash card. But you say the learner cannot point; if this means the learner is physically unable to point, then of course you're going to have to get inventive! Find other ways. For example, in asking him/her to identify a word card, you could offer 2 different pictures, pointing to each one yourself, and waiting for a head nod or shake to indicate understanding. Hope this helps!
Hi, Samia! Please email me as the video instructs you: specialareads@yahoo.com and ask me for the document that gives you all the details! When you write, tell me about yourself and about how you plan to use this certification! We are not yet friends on FB, so I don't know any details about you. I look forward to hearing from you!
Just to clarify: When doing the exercises in this video, is the parent/teacher both asking and answering? I assume so (at least initially) until the learner catches on to the meaning of the "Wh" word...?
