This works. I started doing letter sounds with my son when he was 2 and a half. It took maybe five or ten minutes a day. He was reading basic words by a little over 3. He reads on his own now at 4 years old. It's so cheap, get a pack of white index cards and just flip through them once a day. I split the alphabet in half at first and worked up to the full alphabet. DO THIS!
This is beautiful! I will teach an adult how to read and write. She needs my help to pass the Drivers License so she can go to work independently. Thank you so much.❤ 💓 ❤
You are such a blessing. I do not want to divulge too much in this comment but thank you so much for giving this valuable information for FREE. May God bless you and your family for what you have given to this community. All the best to you in all that you do!
This is really good advice. Note to parents: be patient with your child and don't compare your child. If you are a CONSISTENT teacher, they will learn (catch on) eventually.
Oh man I needed this! My 6 year old kindergartener is just very very slowly getting her ABC’s Most kids in her class know all the sounds and know all the letters. I work with her consistently. Trying to not feel discouraged
@@jw4sageking Have you had her professionally checked out or simply as a mother noticed any thing different about her learning abilities other than not catching on?
Thank you! I am copying this chart for my daughter and realizing there isn't the c, p, x & the vowels. Is there a reason for not including the c, p & x in this chart? I love your videos, thank you!
In vowel blending (aieou), certain consonants like "c," "p," and "x" are not commonly used because they may result in complex or uncommon sounds when combined with vowels. - **C:** The letter "c" often has a soft sound (like "s") before "e," "i," and "y" and a hard sound (like "k") before "a," "o," and "u." This can complicate vowel blending. - **P:** The letter "p" can create abrupt sounds and might not blend smoothly with vowels in a way that produces common and easily pronounceable combinations. - **X:** The letter "x" can represent different sounds, and its use in blending with vowels might lead to less common or challenging combinations. The goal of vowel blending is to create simple, clear, and commonly used sounds, which is why certain consonants are avoided in these specific combinations.
This is already working for us. My four year old has a hard time blending, but as soon as I turned the letter sounds into flash cards, and then made flash cards of the two-letter “blends” she started to immediately get it. She’s even anticipating how the two letter blends are parts of words and she likes to throw out words she can think of that start with those blends, like: “di : dig” and “to : top.” She’s a smart kid but she was stuck and I think this is gonna do the trick. Her 2.5 year old sister is catching up with her fast, too!
Teaching how to read phonetically is the only correct way to learn to read. Today’s public schools are teaching sight words and I have been having a fit because the children are failing very badly. My granddaughter was in public school and she wasn’t learning with their methods so I had to start over and teach her phonics. I never dreamed they would get this so wrong. They also aren’t teaching mathematics correctly either. .
💯 agree. Public schools have dumbed down in all areas. I taught prekindergarten and kindergarten privately in a church for 19 years. The ps next door loved the first graders coming in from my school. They could tell the difference by the kids just knowing how to listen and follow directions, and knowing basic reading skills. My gkids are being homeschooled, I help once a week. There were so many distractions in their public school...kids allowed to bark in class because they wanted to be a dog, autistic children getting loud and upset, and just bad and bullying behavior from others. Public schools are not creating a good learning environment, and too many kids can't cope with simple frustrations. Parents are raising delusional brats and many teachers are activists instead of real educators.
Absolutely love this girl !! Got a 6 & 8 year old and a 11 year old Homeschooling but my 8 is autistic and this has helped him tremendously even my 6 year old
i started the letter sounds and in less than a month my son knows most of the letters and can even recognize them from labels or anything with words. Thank you @Jady.
This reading system is very good and practical! I used years ago when I was working with children, and I used with my own children as well! 💛🎉📖😊☺️ it was great and fun!
Oh, i didn’t know this. I learned english by myself and it was just by reading a lot and hearing the spoken language with subtitles in my language. Yes! I know hoy to pronounce or write words by memory and can’t explain why a letter sounds different in different words; i desperately need to take phonics and grammar lessons. This was very helpful, thank you!
Listen how to pronounce these sounds in the words such as .....ant, apple, on, under, umbrella ☔ also you can find videos on youtube like How to pronounce a and so on. I hope that will help.
Thank you for this!!! I've been searching for a while for someone to EXPLAIN how to learn reading (rather than just comparing programs). I've been a great reader for as long as I can remember, but now that it's time to teach my daughter, I had no clue where to start! I don't remember learning things like "letter sounds", short sounds vs long sounds, etc. I'm literally having to re-teach myself to read. Haha! This video helped so much!
Hi Jady! I have started doing this with my almost two year old and he is already recognising letter sounds!! Thanks a lot. I have a doubt though, when he starts kindergarten at 2.5, he will be taught alphabet names. Will this confuse him?
Where I grew up, this is exactly the training for preschool and kindergarten. I am raising English speaking kid so I did not use this method but I gues I am going to do it with my second child.
K even I at 30 can see how much easier this would be than learning every letter and everything 1 at at time. I'm going to start this with my son. Thank you! He's grade 3 but reading grade 2 level
I started teaching my kid alphabet wheb she was 1 month. She started to read alphabet at 6 months. And she knew letter sounds at 1 year old. And now she's almost 2, she can read wheb I put 2 letters together. She realizes many words. And fun fact, English is not our mother tongue :)
She is reading at 3.5 years old, my little one is 2 years old next month, but shes not talking much... did you start when your daughter was 2.5 or 3? Or sooner?
Hello. Thanks a lot for this useful information. We want to start reading by your method. I have some questions. What about C and P letters in a Blending table? Ca ce ci co cu Pa pe pi po pu maybe this letters need to read another? Please, answer me. Thanks a lot
"C" isn't on there because it follows a different phonetic rule. "Ci, ce" make the "s" sound. X isn't there because it's usually an ending sound and "x" sometimes makes the "z" sound for certain words. All of this is detailed in the Alpha Phonics book she recommended.
I taught private school, decoding with phonics only. Frequent, common words will eventually become sight words. You are right in your methods. I also had my students and now my grandkids trace the letters when first learning the letter's sound, it helps with learning how to write the letters as well.
For those who wants to know why c p and x the consonant are not in the chart of blends Here this may help you to understand In vowel blending (aieou), certain consonants like "c," "p," and "x" are not commonly used because they may result in complex or uncommon sounds when combined with vowels. - **C:** The letter "c" often has a soft sound (like "s") before "e," "i," and "y" and a hard sound (like "k") before "a," "o," and "u." This can complicate vowel blending. - **P:** The letter "p" can create abrupt sounds and might not blend smoothly with vowels in a way that produces common and easily pronounceable combinations. - **X:** The letter "x" can represent different sounds, and its use in blending with vowels might lead to less common or challenging combinations. The goal of vowel blending is to create simple, clear, and commonly used sounds, which is why certain consonants are avoided in these specific combinations.
I could read by the time I was 5 from my older sister reading to me and pointing to the words. I quickly went on to reading by myself. I think I just learned how to read phonetically. We learn how to speak easily, reading can happen the same way.
I agree people complicate stuff.I learnt reading and spelling one day for only about 10 minutes by my aunt(THIS STYLE)and I never struggled in reading or spelling after that time.
I live in a country is not speaking English. I have a little bit concern when I start to teach English for my daughter 3 years old. Should I start by teach her how to read letter or learn vocabulary by topic? What do you think?
I'll try this with my 7 year old tomorrow, he knows the sounds and letters but he's struggling to read. I'll update my comment after this summer holiday.
Can you please make a video with the 2 letter blend just like the letter sound video you made. I would love it so much . Thank you again for helping all of us family's
Its really frustrating when the parent didn't learn phonics growing up. I have to relay on videos on the Internet because i can't help him say the sounds of the blends correctly.
Hello I have a son who is in the first grade he is excelling in math but is not doing well in Reading Writing I have come across your video and I found it very interesting I will definitely give it a try my son suffers from ADHD and has a hard time picking things up that do not interest him he also has a hard time with pronunciation as he learned to speak at a very late age if you have any helpful tips I will gladly accept them trying to help him at home for me is sometimes difficult because at home he is so much more easily distracted
I found this really useful! Thanks a lot! My daughter is also three and a half now, we are starting reading just now, it’s seems to me that she’s pretty ready for that)
Mrs. Alvarez, how do you teach the advanced phonics sounds? Ck, qu, ng, ch, sh, th, wh, or, ar, er, ir, ur, ai, ay, ee, ea, ie, oa, oe, ow, ue, oo, ou, oi, and oy
I have been looking like this one since our classes today starting and kids are not allowed to go school because of the virus ,i'll teach my two kids for this one.
Hi I have a kid, turning 4 on Oct, she already knew the sound of each letters but she’s having hard time reading 3- letter words. What can you advice to me? Thank you in advance.
I realize every kid learns at their own pace. Trust the process and keep going, they will get it. I have a 9 year old that some what struggles with some things. Every child is different!!! I homeschool my 9 year old, but his older 3 siblings goes to school. He’s just a child that don’t learn well with a group of kids. More 1 on 1 learning!!!!!
Help I'm struggling so badly I struggled with reading in school now my child is and he's struggling with sight too and yet eye Dr is saying nothing wrong but school is saying there's definitely vision problems. I'm trying to work with him at home and it's a battle
Trying this with my kid. She can’t seem to grasp reading by using sight words. We work on letter sounds but I think the blending part of this video is going to help her so much!! That chart is so helpful!!
I've been trying to teach my daughter to read since last year in kindergarten, and she forgot some sounds and letters. That is so frustrating. She's now I first grade and I feel that she fell behind. I feel like such a failure. I hope this works.
@@judith3413 my daughter is also in first grade and struggling a bit. Hoping this method helps as well. We just started today. I realized she has forgotten a few key sounds and that’s why she can’t sound out words properly. Hoping this helps you too!
I will start with my daughter who is five years old from home starting today... I will see how it will go and I hope my daughter will learn reading soon. Thank you for your easy tips.
I’m try to do this. My son is 7 and still can’t read. The school says he has a “learning disability” though didn’t specify what. I feel like they’re just not teaching him right cause they focus on sight words. .
I don’t see the links. How can I find them? I am trying to help my granddaughter learn to reach, she is getting ready to go to Kindergarten and she doesn’t know how to read. Am I to far behind? I have a hard time making it fun so she will pay attention. Help! Signed frustrated MiMi..
Omg!! I need your help! Do you teach other children? I can pay you😩 I have been trying to help my 4 year old memorize and recognize letters and numbers! Sight words and all the above. He does good with me but I’m prek he doesn’t do good with the teacher. I don’t know what to do. I play alphabet bingo! Number bingo show him and he does well but in class he acts like he doesn’t know anything and I’m worried because they will test him in Jan and I don’t want him to fall behind. He is a smart boy. I’m so stressed help pls.
🙏🏾🤞🏾 patient is the key As well And you did AMAZING first time watching ur videos my son is in kindergarten now and Lord I’m at trying to get him to write letters like idk what the teacher doing 😢🥺 I break down And try NOT to be hard on him Because I don’t wanna fail my son when it comes to school how my mom did me But I’m LEARNING and again HAPPY I FOUND UR VIDEOS thank YU so much yu Gave me so MUCH hope and more eager to want to try this wish me 🍀 Thanxx again❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have confused how to teach reading and the letters themselves are almost irrelevant at the beginning but every educational activity is the recognition of the letter, not sound. I am starting this today with ages 3 and 5.
Hi Jady... All your videos are so amazing. Thanks a ton for sharing it with us. I have a request. Could you please make a video on how to teach the Alpha Phonics Primer book and how long it takes to accomplish it ? Would be really really greatful.. My son is in Grade 1 and has difficulty reading.
Hi thank you I just came across your channel i am looking for ways to help my kindergartner kid learn how to read we are having a hard time since English is not our first language we are having Avery hart time please Help anyone any advice would be very helpful!!! Thanks 🙏
