Welcome to the Kendore/Syllables RU-vid channel. We post helpful videos about reading for teachers and parents. Most of our videos feature Executive Director Jennifer Hasser, M.Ed., an expert in the field of reading, literacy, and dyslexia. Throughout her career, Jennifer has taught thousands of teachers to teach reading using Kendore Learning's structured literacy, speech-to-print, multisensory reading curriculum. At Syllables Learning Center, Jennifer and her team turn struggling learners into successful students through one-on-one tutoring in Metro Atlanta and teletherapy worldwide! Jennifer's desire to share information and tools to teach reading inspired her to create this RU-vid channel.

This is how i see me: i have a mind. Thoughts and rambles and stuff go in there. I have another mind, the UPPER mind, all pictures and imagination go there I have another mind, the LOWER mind. All forgotten things go there
Good question! Phonemes (sounds) are often shown in slash marks: /sh/, /t/, /f/. Graphemes (letters) are often shown in angled brackets, including digraphs and trigraphs (one sound represented by two or more letters): <z> <ph> <tch>. During our Dot and Jot phoneme grapheme mapping activity (which we have a video for on our channel :)), we ask students to say segment words into sounds aloud as they fill in one dot for each sound. Then, they write the symbols (graphemes) used to represent these sounds in the boxes above the dots. Hope this helps!
What I find interesting is that these lessons apply to children as much as they apply to adults. Adulthood is full of jargon because we somewhat believe that clarity and imagination are childish 😅 Thank you for this Jennifer ❤
Ma'am, you are INCREDIBLE!!! I have heard these three words explained in PDs and CTs but never have I ever understood them like you just explained THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I will do great on the Reading Praxis all thanks to you!!!!
I literally just started reading. I’m 31. I wanted to see if it was just me who did this to retain. I am retaining all the important details just by visualizing everything I read. My retention dramatically increased. Absolutely love reading now for learning this trick. Now I am stumped by the vast amount of people who do this. Thank you
The low-cost KLiC (Kendore Learning Instructional Community) is a small group interactive meeting. Participants will receive a certificate of attendance, digital resources to use with students of various levels, and Jennifer's presentation slides. We hope you'll join us!
In our curriculum, <y> and <qu> are two of the 'Borrowers', letters that have no sounds of their own and must borrow from other consonant and vowel sounds. For example, <qu> uses /kw/ as in "quit." We have a great video about the sounds of 'y' on our RU-vid Channel!
Yes, we do! Both games demonstrated can be played if the student and teacher each have their own card deck. Each player will pick up and discard from the deck on their side. You can also use a document camera to play "open" and show both players' hands. We talk about how to use our games for in-person and online instruction during our Part 1 and Word Play trainings!
Only as an adult did i ever consider that i was supposed to actively engage my imagination to read well. For me, im mostly considering the words, i usually think in words as well. When people talk to me, i listen to their words more than i imagine what they are saying and its not helpful sometimes
I'm so grateful to you for this video and ALL your videos and workshops Jennifer! They are interesting, enjoyable, and they've made me a much better tutor. THANK YOU!!
