Out of nowhere⤵️ I was so surprised when I go Out of nowhere⤵️

I was so surprised when I got this DM….

This wasn’t a tutoring client mom. This wasn’t a coaching client mom. This was a mom just like you.

😭She was tired of seeing her smart child struggle and feeling so helpless.

When I asked the mom what I had shared that made the biggest difference, she said 3️⃣ things:

💪Tips to getting past the child’s resistance

⏰Working just 10 minutes most days

🖨️Sentence Pyramids worksheets

The truth is all three of these tips work together.

1️⃣Be clear that your child will resist if they have struggled.  Expect it and mentally prep for it.

2️⃣ Start with even 5 minutes. You are developing a habit. A little bit makes a difference over time.

3️⃣ The Sentence Pyramids are ✨magic.✨

Children see success immediately. 

📚And that success builds momentum to keep reading. 

Want the link to the pyramids in my shop? Comment PYRAMID.

When to worry ⤵️ It’s a common misconceptio When to worry ⤵️

It’s a common misconception that letter reversals are a primary sign of dyslexia.
They are not.

Letter reversals can show up two ways:

1️⃣Mixing up the letters b and d while spelling words

2️⃣Troubling with sounding out b and d correctly in words

Backwards letters is actually a sign of evolutionary success.

Our brain needed to see a tiger as a threat no matter whether its head was oriented to the left or the right.

And a triangle is still a triangle no matter its orientation.

So seeing b, d, p, and q as different letters is a pretty huge task for a lot of children.

🛑Now this is when dyslexia specialists do start to be concerned about reversals ….

✅It has persisted despite a lot of strategic intervention

✅ It’s accompanied by other dyslexia signs:

➡️Guessing at words
➡️Trouble sounding out
➡️Mixing up other sounds like e and i
➡️Avoiding reading

But there is something you can do at home. 

Show your child how to hold their hands with their thumbs up so their knuckles touch. The left hand looks like b and the right hand looks like d.

I have a printable visual and some games for this in the shop for less than your morning coffee. Comment REVERSAL and I’ll DM you the link.

Trust when I say this⤵️ By reading aloud to y Trust when I say this⤵️

By reading aloud to your child, you are doing SOMETHING.

If you’ve been around, you know I say reading aloud to your child won’t teach them HOW to read, but guess what…

It can teach them how to THINK.

And it does also make learn to read easier. 

When children have a large vocabulary and know a lot of different things about a variety of topics, it’s easier to match sounding out to a word they already know.

So grab 1-2 books tonight that teach your child a message you value.  Repeat a couple more times this week. And then come back to tell me that it makes you feel a little better.

Want help making sure your kindergarten learns to sound out the words on the page? Comment KINDER and I’ll DM you my kindergarten reading skills checklist

A lil trauma dumping ⤵️ But first, I love pub A lil trauma dumping ⤵️

But first, I love public education even as former Catholic school teacher. Don’t mistake this as teacher bashing. It isn’t.

My oldest child… isn’t easy. 

She’s juggling a few disabilities and has a big personality.

So yeah, when a special education teacher told me my first grade daughter just wasn’t motivated to learn to read or write and it was a behavioral issue….

🥤I was like “hold my grande iced latte.”

I had to learn how to reach the firecracker kids. And truth is, I was one of them and didn’t know it until last year (#latediagnosisadhd)

If you have a child who:

✅is a little extra, 
✅tantrums during reading time 
✅is 1-3 grades behind in reading, you’ve found your people. 

Comment GUIDE and I’ll DM you my 16 page guide on where to get started on reading with your child.

Fun and Easy Game⤵️ Here’s how I played wit Fun and Easy Game⤵️

Here’s how I played with my kindergarten son:

1️⃣ I printed these free 100 CVC word flashcards from my website.

2️⃣ I cut them apart.

3️⃣ My son sounded out a word.

4️⃣ He blended it together.

5️⃣ He flipped it over to connect the word to meaning.

6️⃣ We took turns pressing down the teeth on this crocodile.

7️⃣ He laughed hysterically and asked to play again.

This actually took me zero minutes today because I had these flashcards prepped from my middle son. 

It will take you about 5-10 to print and cut out the flashcards the first time.

Want the link to the 100 free flashcards you see in the video? You can print them at home today. Comment FLASH and my printables bot will DM you the link!

Make sure you’re following me or you won’t get the link! My bot can’t send to non-followers.

Literacy is foundational for democracy. While rea Literacy is foundational for democracy.

While reading to your child doesn’t teach them HOW to read, it can teach them how to THINK.

Large vocabulary + a lot of knowledge ➡️critical thinking skills

You are the CHANGE. I am the CHANGE. One book at a time. We are going to dig ourselves out of this mess.

Double tap if you agree.
