Comment SOUNDS

if you’d prefer to see me teach this in video lessons. It’s all including in my signature course Sounds School.

Save this⤵️

Each of those activities literally will take you 5 minutes. And it makes a huge difference in your child’s ability to sound out while reading.

Now your are going to need these words:

chin
chop
chug
much
such
rich
bench
chest
lunch

🗣️ Helping your child sound out word at home is a lot easier when you have a solid foundation too.

And most of millennial moms didn’t learn this in school.

So I made Sounds School to teach parents the 44 sounds in English so you have more tools than saying “sound it out….”

Comment SOUNDS for the link to my signature course.

You’re in the right place⤵️ Does this sound like

You’re in the right place⤵️

Does this sound like your child?

❌school says they struggle to focus
not blending well
❌doesn’t get the sounds.
❌stopped trying

And you want
✅to help without overwhelming your child
✅less crying and fight
✅to sleep at night without worrying

I get it! My own child struggled with reading and spelling.

I had to learn to help at home when her old school only saw behavior. Not skill gaps.😩

We’re on the other side now. So I help parents like you.

Comment KINDER for a free reading checklist of skills your child should have mastered in kindergarten. Make sure you’re following or the link gets blocked.

You have the whole summer to make progress on those skills one at time.

You don’t need to panic. You just need to practice.

Glad you’re here 🫶

You don’t have to choose⤵️ A lot of kindergarten

You don’t have to choose⤵️

A lot of kindergarten readiness posts present you with a false choice:

1️⃣ social emotional skills OR
2️⃣ pre-academic skills

And those kindergarten readiness posts that are anti-academics never talk about how some kids go onto have behavioral problems in kindergarten when they can’t keep up academically.

I’m not talking about reading books or writing sentences or other arguably developmentally inappropriate tasks.

What I mean….

when that child sees other children getting the alphabet and remembering sounds and they just … cannot. They feel it.

This isn’t anyone’s fault. Parents and teachers are both doing their best.

But it is hard for everyone. Especially the student.

If you want to help your child with the letters before kindergarten, comment ABC for my resource. It’s currently on sale.

It does double duty as I designed it to systematically review letters while building fine motor skills.

Because writing and reading are more connected than we thought.

Here’s what fixes this ⤵️ But first, I saw the si

Here’s what fixes this ⤵️

But first, I saw the signs in first grade, too. I had that same nagging feeling you have.

And that’s why I’m here now, helping parents avoid expensive reading tutoring by teaching them on Instagram.

I know how deeply you care about your child’s reading skills.

And that pit in your stomach when struggles continue night after night.

I saw students get stuck in the sounding out phase. I knew they needed more practice with the same word to really make it stick.

So pulling from the science of reading, I created Rapid Words. These simple charts move child from sounding out each word to instantly and automatically knowing words.

It’s not memorization. It’s building the process on the brain to make word retrieval instant.

If your child still sounds out every word, this is likely the missing step.

Comment GRID and I’ll send you the details.

Quick note⤵️

This post is meant to educate parents.

It is not something we would teach a child all at once in kindergarten.

If you’re wondering how to actually teach these skills step-by-step, what you need is a phonics scope and sequence.

That’s just a teacher term for a plan.

Think of it like a roadmap for learning how to sound out words in a logical order.

It shows you what to teach first and what comes next, so nothing feels random.

Comment SAMPLE if you want to try my phonics games. I’ll send you five free games.

Make sure you’re following me, though. Sometimes the links get blocked if you’re not.

And if you enjoy the sample, you can grab the full bundle, which lays out phonics skills from kindergarten through 3rd/4th grade.

Just play the games in order and you’ll never have to wonder, “When should I teach this skill?”

3 bonus skills⤵️

If your child can already do all those, 🎉 hooray.

You can work on these bonus pre-academic skills this summer:

5️⃣ Cuts on a straight line.

I love cutting for strengthening hands for writing.

Plus I just know logistically it helps with independence in a busy classroom.

6️⃣ Says the first sound in a spoken word.

If you say “cat,” your child can say /k/.

Here is the only fancy term since I promised not to use them: this is part of phonemic awareness or hearing the sounds in language. It’s important for reading.

7️⃣ knows a few letter sounds

The optimal number of sounds isn’t as clear as letter names.

But if your child knows around 5-6, that’s really helpful.
