    I bought the Toddler Can Read program for my 2yr old granddaughter, she is now able to recognize and say her alphabets effortlessly, She is also able to make the sound of each individual alphabet. She goes around singing and sounding out the alphabet as this is her favorite and fun thing to do. People are amazed when they find out she actually recognize each alphabet letter without it being in order. They often ask “how old is she.” This is an awesome program and I highly recommend this program 💯% for anyone wanting to give their children or grandchildren a head start in learning. 🙏🏾

    I don’t have Flashcards yet and we started a couple days ago with three sounds using a white board. Today we added his construction cones, I told my two year old a sound and then he had to bring his cone to the sound I told him. Watching your videos really helped me keep my son engaged.

    I'm so sad I didn't do this earlier. I was always told, "Don't force it, let them play, let them learn on their own time frame. My daughter is now 8. Struggling at school and behind in her work. She hates reading because she is aware that she struggles with it. We are working on it but I want her to enjoy it too and not find it a chore.

    My husband and I just did our first practice session with our son after I watched this video. He was so excited after 3, he kept going back to the bookshelf to get "one more sound" until we had to stop him at 6. We didn't want to overload him on the first day. I kept the 6 cards out on the table, and he keeps bringing one to me asking "what's this sound?" and we do a few seconds of review. I'm so glad he likes this approach! Thank you so much for the encouraging content. It gave me the confidence to help my son

    My daughter is a strong willed 3 yr old. I’ve been teaching her the sounds. Didn’t work out because she either got distracted or threw a tantrum and started throwing things or hitting me 😒 gonna keep trying on my baby. These videos really give me hope and help me! So thank you!!! Oh and also with the whiteboard she tries to take it away to draw or tells me nonono whenever i try to teach her.

    • @ezinwaikolo4936
      @ezinwaikolo4936 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +14

      Try teaching her when she is in a good mood. Watch her moods. Use the play way method, that is you learn and play as well and also reward her whenever she co-operates . It could be a "Wow, clap for yourself". Wish you all the best Ma'am.

    Kudos to you!! I adore and appreciate your approach. You've hit the nail on the head by encouraging adults to let children learn however they are comfortable. When children start to jump or run around, most teachers and parents spend more time screaming at the child to sit down, be good, pay attention, act right, be still and focus and the child becomes down and frustrated because they focus on the discipline and discomfort rather than the lesson.

    I know my grandson is too young right now (he's only 5 months old), but I want to start doing something to either get me ready to help him to read or start doing things with him that will help him to read. I only have him two days a week right now, and that may change as he gets older, but I want to help him without it "feeling" like work. I love your ideas about letting them fidget if necessary. I'm an ADD Mom who gave birth to an ADD boy. It was VERY difficult for him in school. I knew exactly what how he felt as I went through the same things. I don't know that my grandson will be ADD, but I want to get out in front of this just in case. I have subscribed to your channel and I look forward to learning more about how I can help him learn.

    This is a great video with tips, thanks!
    My daughter turned 3 end of June; she seems pretty confident with all the letter sounds now, so I've been trying to get her to blend the sounds past couple days, using mostly the whiteboard and marker to write out letters from simple words from a "Bob" book. I feel like I have her attention fairly well when I have her moving around the room just saying the sounds, but getting her to focus for any length of time on the whiteboard as we blend sounds seems more challenging.
    Would you say the same tips you've suggested here in teaching a toddler their sounds can also apply with teaching how to blend the sounds? Do I take the whiteboard around the room with us just so she can move to keep her energy and momentum. I've been having her run around the table in spurts in between practicing the blending and reading words together, but as soon as she climbs up onto the chair and I try to get her to focus on the whiteboard feel like I'm losing her. I definitely think I'll try bringing in some of her favorite toys to our teaching times.

    • @toddlerscanread
      @toddlerscanread  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hey Sarah- really good question! You can definitely to blending outside of the chair if she's standing up and looking at it, or if you do "out loud" blending when she's not looking at any letters at all. You can also use a toy or doll or car or something to move underneath each of the letters as you blend and see how that goes!

  • @mastermommissioneshider719
    @mastermommissioneshider719 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Mom of 6 here…My sons have done great with learning to read. However my only daughter is 4yo and hasn’t been retaining her alphabet recognition. I’ve tried so many things that she enjoys and even repeats the letter names even sounds but she shortly after forgets. My 2yo son watches and joins in our learning from time to time and her remembers his letters. My daughter is unbothered she encouraged him and cheers him on. Then just chuckles when she can’t remember a letter. She will try to guess or recall it but it’s literally gone out of her mind! Any advice to her her remember? I have done letters of the day now I am at a letter of the week. I have done hide and seek letters and I spy letters around the room. I have scatters letters and played go find me the letters you know. She practices writing her letters . She loves to write, draw and paint by the way. She will even make letters on her own weather she recalls their names or not. She doesn’t have speech or memory issues. She can do sign language and actually preferred that form of communication before she would speak. Before she could talk well around 1yo she would watch the dance routine to “Every move I make” a Christian music video over and over until she learned the dance moves perfectly on her own. So I am just not understanding why she isn’t retaining her alphabet recognition. Please help!

    • @ramandhindsa826
      @ramandhindsa826 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      My 4 yo old son is facing the exact same issue. He forgot the alphabets which he is practising from last six months. I had also used the same method of hiding alphabets and let him find and also did the matching and circling worksheets with him. He did all but at the time of asking about alphabets, he forgot half of the recognition of alphabets.
      Question for you:: How is your daughter with numbers practice ?
      Actually, I have observed that my son is good with numbers as compared to alphabets. He is able to reco all the numbers and can write with ease.
      This is my observation that mainly numbers are last 0 to 9 and further is just adding the same. For example 1 and 1 become 11.
      However alphabets are 26 in numbers. When I count that how many alphabets my child can recognise then I found that these are also 10 to 12 in numbers as he is aware of A,B,C, H,I, L, O, P, T, X,Z . Then I get to know that he will take his time to learn all together.
      Now I am going to follow @toddlerscanread methodology to let him aware of phonics as well as reco of alphabets.

    • @mastermommissioneshider719
      @mastermommissioneshider719 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@ramandhindsa826 Thanks for sharing. I haven’t checked my daughters numbers for recognition yet. I have only been focusing on her alphabets and cutting in this season as to not overwhelm her since she was struggling to remember them and showed very little interest. I was just thinking yesterday maybe I will switch to shapes or colors that she is a bit better at to encourage her. Then come back to her letters. My daughter is so different from my sons who love all things learning early on. My daughter truly isn’t interested. She’s just tolerating my efforts with her. I’m not terribly concerned as I am dyslexic and didn’t read my first book until the 5th grade but I soared academically after that all way to my Masters and did great career wise as well. For some things just click later and differently. My sons show signs of dyslexia and my daughter doesn’t but there could something else that is different in how she processes information. I follow each of my children’s lead and interest being sure to observe their strength and weaknesses. My girl is truly challenging me by being different but I accept the challenge and am sure we’ll figure it out.
