How I taught my 4 YEAR OLD to READ in a couple months! 

I'm a retired K-1 teacher (I started in 1983). It's a delight to see how thrilled you are about Drew''s reading. And you didn't edit out the warts, like almost everyone does! This video is going to be an inspiration to many, many moms, as the comments already show.

Omg I could cry! I’ve been very anxious and have had this book for months. Thanks for giving me the confidence to start. My child turns 5 in August. You have no idea how your transparency has blessed me. I just prayed for this type of affirmation and your video was the answer. I’ve been feeling really bad and overwhelmed. I’ve never taught my kids to read either and you have given me hope!

Thank you for this video. Teaching my child during this pandemic has not been easy. Even though this video is a couple years old it’s so relevant and relatable. Very encouraging

Thank You for this! I'm a single parent of a now 5 year old girl, and I was losing my mind. You've given me another way to teach her, and teaching her the sounds instead of the actual letter helped a bit. So Thank You so very much for saving me!!!

Thank you for this!!! I'm so excited I found your channel. We too are an LDS homeschooling family. This year I'll be homeschooling two boys preschool and 3rd grade. I find comfort knowing I'm not the only one terrified and overwhelmed with teaching my youngest to read! My oldest essentially taught himself. And my youngest is STUBBORN and rowdy just like how you explained your son. I'm going to purchase the recommended books. Wish us luck! 😃

I just started this book with my 4yo yesterday. It's nice to see an example of another wiggly kid learning to read. His school sent home sight words and a book to read, but the book is so repetitive he just memorized it. It's so hard to get him to look at the words on the page and sound them out without guessing. I'm kind of annoyed at his school, I wish they would send home a phonics reader instead.

I believe my little one is highly intelligent. I just get a little anxious trying to teach her how to read. She's about to be 5 in October and I feel like she should know how to read already. She knows the sound of all the letters so that's out the way. Definitely will get this book. Patience is key.

Thank you for this video. Im starting homeschooling. I have 4 year old twins and I was really nervous if i could teach them to read. This video really encouraged me. Thank you. God bless you. 💗

Hey thanks for this video. My 4 yr old went to preschool for a year when she was 3 and then we moved away and she isn't able to go to school in our new town. So I am trying to teach her at home now for the rest of the year and u not only gave me ideas. But, more importantly, you gave me inspiration. Thank you so much

This is so beautiful. I love the way he reads. :) Good job Mom!

Good job mama .. my second baby is 4 as well but has a hard time learning the alphabets recognition so we’re working on that before jumping on this book .. I bought it before couple of months .. my focus is my kid to know his letters well before I try this method with him .. so glad to see a positive feedback .. you did a great job mama 👏👏👏

Thanks for making this! I saw that book on Amazon and thought about getting it for my 4 year old. Pairing it with a matching game is brilliant. Thanks for the tips!

I have this book but haven't started yet with my 4 year old. He's a lot like Drew so this is giving me lots of hope and excitement!

I'm only 10 but I wanted to do research I'm going to 5th grade. I asked my dad if I can go homeschooled he said I can as long as I find out how we can start , so if you haven't already can you make a video on how to start homeschool

so all the words are mostly in the book are 3 or 4 letters and can be sounded independently unlike some acception words. How to sound blend spider, tortoise, tiger, lion.

Thank you for sharing this! Saving to one of my playlists! Can’t wait to try this out with my boy who is also very active and has a short attention span! Way to go!!!!!

I wish I could like this 100 times for the matching game!

Haha! Such a boy. LOVE IT!!!! I am teaching my son to read (he's 5) and we started with this book. I feel like once he's actually reading so much stress will be relieved l0l. I am really stressing this. Reading is sooo important. But I am so glad to see you did it and how you did it!

I'm so glad I came across this! I fear terribly to put my children in public school because of what I've been thru and most schools have been thru and I fear that every day! Until I saw this video I felt SO FLIPPING RELIEVED!!!! ✨🙌🏼😭 I have a 4yr old daughter (she has a slow progress to speaking correctly) and a 3yr old son that I'm currently trying to potty train and to slowly get them to read and write As a mom to another (any moms are welcomed to comment down🥰) how can I encourage my children to go potty thru out the day and for them to start reading 🤔🤔 Please and thank you!!! ❤️

Thanks for sharing. My little strong willed girl is turning 4 next month! I LIGHTLY started some fun, here and there home school last year. This year I want to take it a little more structured without going overboard. This encouraged me. I think I might try these books and see where it goes. p.s the "ABC song ive discovered is possibly not the best way to start. Aana (my little one) sang it well but when we started to break down the letters the "quick" part of the song (LMNOP) i came to realize was kinda one letter to her! lol. Thanks again. !st time home school mom here so ill take all the advise and success stories i can!

Thank you so much for this video. Our sons have the same name too by the way and he’s also 4 1/2 now. He lost enthusiasm when the pandemic hit and he had to stop school in March.

My boys 4. Can right 0-20 and A-Z. Can say his abc’s. Starting teaching him reading now.

That’s amazing!

this is awesome im going to be getting this book for next year!

I just bought the "Teach your child to read' book recently based on all the reviews on Amazon. How did you decided on this one?

I would love to see your kindergarten curriculum that you're planning on doing this year.

Hola como estas, como hago para comprar un libro de ese, cuanto cuesta y el envío a Venezuela y la forma de pago.

Amazing! God bless u both!

I am a new subscriber , l am not a native speaker but I want to teach my child English in the same way a native speaker is learning so please how can l get this books , could you upload these materials so that I can download them .

My daughter is 3.4 months old and she speaks very limited and never sit down with the book to read or listen. Please suggest something so I can get her into listening and reading letters...we want to get admission in school next year.

Can you send the link of these books to get them online?

yes, i can relate my daughter is 4 and some lessons don't go so perfect either lol. tfs the "realness". we have this book but decided to use " 20 reading lessons" which has fit us a little better. you are doing great homeschooling!

Wow. This is a LOT of information about how your son is reading and not reading and enjoying reading and ...are you selling these books or...?

That is great! Did he finish the entire book in 4 months?!

This is great thanks for Sharing.. Boys are boys! I have a 5 yr old here... ;) ill have to ck out that book.

You didn’t even show what the book have inside 😔

I'm studying helping a child to read and found a fantastic website at Presto Learner Genie (check it out on google)

Lighting is to bright

This is glorious, I've been looking for "how to help a struggling reader in 3rd grade" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Eanmanter Straightforward Equalizer - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a good one of a kind guide for discovering how to teach your child to read minus the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my buddy got great success with it.

Why would anyone thumbs this video down! This is amazing!

I use graphic novels: the brilliant illustrations and edgy dialogue are great for kids who think reading is boring.

I can literally relate to the beginning of this video! Mine is almost 4 and the EXACT SAME!! I feel so defeated when trying to teach him anything!

I just stumbled into this. Got halfway through, stopped and ordered the 100 Easy Lessons. My wife and I watch our 2 and 4-year-old grandsons all day during the week. Have been reading a lot to them, then letting them tell me the story back. This book should be a lot of fun. Thank you for sharing.

I used teach your child in a hundred easy lesson to teach my daughter who was 4 as well, I also used bob books too! She is doing awesome! So happy for your little guy!

This is the one area I'm really nervous for.. I have never taught anyone to read - so it's definitely a new idea for me! I will have to look into this book! I have heard others mention it & say all good things too ☺️

My 3 year old does the same so it was so good to see him fidgeting. I’m thinking of homeschooling and I don’t know where to start.

Thank you for sharing. Those fears hit me about a month ago with my 5 year old. Great information. It is also nice to see other peoples children in action, it's refreshing.

We have also used 100 Lessons. It is EXCELLENT for teaching how to blend. My 5 year old is also reading. Love finding new homeschooling mums to hang out with, so I subbed. Looking forward to checking out your other video's.

My book just came in and I just watched your video for the second time. This really helped me so much. I feel like I have the confidence to teach my daughter how to read! Thank you so much for posting this video. I found it very helpful!! 😊

We used the mcguffy readers for our four year old. He took to them well. He went through the primer, first level reader and halfway through the second reader. Since he just turned 5 we allowed him to have more leisure reading and has gone through 11 of the magic tree house series books. My son took to reading very well. We taught him letter sounds and then jumped on combinations of two letter sounds. It was also a matter of months.

You did Great job! Your son is doing fantastic!

What an amazing experience to have. It's my biggest struggle as a new homeschooling mom.

hi you can just get a exemption letter to get your kids in school try a religious exemption. mine got accepted.

I’ve watched this video twice now and I love it thanks for the inspiration!

Subscribed because of how REAL your videos are....im a homeschool mom of four ages six and under....we are in year two. Another great book is Alpha Phonics a primer for beginning readers...its only $25.....also...check out Jady A. on youtube....she was HUGE blessing for helping me to teach my younger children. Blessings and keep it up momma.

I know this is an old video, but do you think the 100 easy lessons is easier or better than using TGTB Kindergarten curriculum to teach kids to read? My 4.5 year old knows all the letter names and sounds pretty well and is about to finish TGTB pre-k but I'm trying to decide what to do next.

There are a few things for how to learn to read Decide precisely why you want to learn Decide which process works for you best. (I discovered about these and more on Pronto Learner Compendium website )

Thank you for this video!

Do you have a pdf of those matching words that go a long with the book ??

does the child need to know his/hers abc's before starting or do they learn as they go?

Ok so my daughter is 6 in 1st grade and she'll read but still has a lot of problem idk what to do she is the kid of kid that if she gets mad or fustrated she'll close up and won't keep going any suggestions thanks

Awesome
