What you actually need to doā¤µļø āœ…Teach your What you actually need to doā¤µļø āœ…Teach your child to read. This is a step-by-step science. Hit follow and I will show you how. If you can follow a recipe or build a 500 piece Lego set, you can improve your childā€™s reading. āŒ Do not drone on and on about how smart they are. Well, itā€™s true. Itā€™s glossing over the problem that reading is tough for them. A pep talk feels insincere in these instances. āœ… Simple acknowledgment Say something like, ā€œyeah this is something thatā€™s more challenging for you like XYZ thing is hard me. Weā€™re going to work on.ā€ āŒ Donā€™t get sucked into this discussion every time Some kids will learn quickly that an emotional spiral will allow them to get out of practicing. āœ… Start with games Seriously. Skip the book. Start with some reading games that will make your child beg you practice. Comment SAMPLE for five free phonics games. āŒ Donā€™t have unrealistic expectations Youā€™re not going to get a child caught up over the summer if theyā€™re three grade levels behind. But two grade levels in 9 months? Iā€™ve seen that happen with the right support! Hit share and send this to a mom friend who needs to hear this. #strugglingreaders #learntoread #dyslexia #dyslexiamom #learningdisabilities

I was shocked to learn thisā¤µļø šŸ¤ÆChildren ne I was shocked to learn thisā¤µļø šŸ¤ÆChildren need to practice spelling individual sounds before spelling whole words. (And pssst, this helps with reading too!) This is easier than you think: 1ļøāƒ£ You simply dictate a sound to your learner like /ē/ (long e sound like in be or eagle). 2ļøāƒ£Then on a piece of paper, or a whiteboard, your child writes all the ways they know to spell the long a sound. At first they might only write the letter e for the long e sound in the words be and me. But after you have taught them about Magic E Words, they will also write e-e for that spelling pattern. 3ļøāƒ£ You provide a reminder for any spelling patterns they might know but have forgott n to write down. Like once they have learned about the sounds of tricky y, they will write ā€œyā€ for words like bunny. WHY DOES THIS WORK? Instead of memorizing whole words, this build the sounds to spelling muscle. Want to learn more?

Stop correcting every single mistakeā€¦do this ins Stop correcting every single mistakeā€¦do this instead ā¤µļø When a coaching client with a struggling fourth grade student first signed up to work with me, she dreaded practicing reading with her son. You too? I get itā€¦ But lucky for them (and now you too), we worked on her taking notes on her sonā€™s error and looking for patterns. Then we choose phonics activities to strengthen those weak skills. We started where he would be successful and then less correction was needed in general And now itā€™s your turn! Comment the word SAMPLE below and Iā€™ll send you a sample of my free phonics games And be sure to save this so you donā€™t forget ā¤ļøā€
šŸš€Want your childā€™s reading to take off? Firs šŸš€Want your childā€™s reading to take off? First you need to know this ā¤µļø Reading doesnā€™t start with your eyes! Say what?! šŸ‘‚šŸ½Yeah, it starts with hearing the sounds in language. See most of us just hear a word as something that carries meaning. So cat means šŸˆ not the sounds /c/ /a/ /t/. So itā€™s hard to sound out while reading if your child doesnā€™t get that words are groups of sounds. Children need to be able to hear each individual sound in a word to sound out. This is called phonemic awareness. So the very first place to start with your kindergartener going into first grade is to make sure they can tell you all the sounds they hear in a three sound word. šŸ±Start with the word ā€œcat.ā€ šŸ–ļøHold up three fingers šŸ—£ļøSay, ā€œcat has the sounds /c/ /a/ /t/.ā€ āœ… Now your child can try with CVC words like hen, pig, dog, and pup. Itā€™s always hard for me to think of words on the spot so if you want a free printable list of 25 CVC words, comment 25. Make sure youā€™re following me so the message comes through! #Kindergarten #learntoread #goodreader #firstgradeready #kindergartenreading #readingspecialist
