I have to recognize that with your help, only watching your wonderful videos I could teach how to identify the letters sounds.
Thanks to you my baby with only 2 years is able to speak in English.
Thanks Jady
I follow your steps and your recomendacions and the results great!
Hi Jady, Thank you so much for all the material and videos you have created. I purchased almost all of the material you have created since my daughter was 1.5 years old and now she is 3.5 years old. She completed her first set of BOBs books and can read fluently. This is all because of your amazing curriculum which I followed from the beginning. Thank you again and I am truly blessed for all the knowledge that you share. God bless.
Hi everyone so excited to find this curriculum for my preschooler.
New to this whole homeschooling.
I just have a question? If I purchased this items from Amazon will I also get the free flash cards?
Or only when you purchase from the website and print them your self ?
What would be the easiest and best option I need help?
Thank you everyone
I found your lesson interesting and my daughter loves it I would like to have the printable binder
Jady I was completely lost when I became a homeschool mom. I started watching your videos and was skeptical about how fast it would work. At the same time I didn't trust myself to do a good job to teach my son who is 5, I even underestimated him...but let me tell you consistency and patience pays off! I had to stop several times for him to refocus. We started late October 2021 and now April 2022 he's able to read the bob books!!! We are still following the alpha-phonics book and he's doing GREAT!!!! Thank you so much! Parents out there be patient with your kids, just be consistent and they will surprise you. Give them space if they are not ready and come back and try it again. DON't give up!!!
Beautiful!
Thank you! This is so encouraging ❤️
Such a wonderful way to reach kids.....benefits me both as a parent of 3 yr old toddler beginning to read and at my school where I teach as well... commendable indeed ....once again, a big thank you for all such valuable inputs you share with us here.Keep up the good work 👍👍👍👏👏👏
😭😭😭I just almost giveup on my daughter.. I just mad at her cause she didnt remember what just she just learn.. Pray for me to keep hoing and dont easily give up on my kids
@@auny89 please don't get mad . This method is not the only method to teach a child to read . As a teacher and parent I taught my daughters to read from birth. I taught them using the whole word method and they just elicited the rules. I also used simple picture books with 1 word per page and moved up to 1 sentence per page. As such they read books from early.They recognized whole words from advertisements on Television, billboards and Newspapers. "The teaching of reading " by Donald Moyle was an excellent book that explained all the methods that can be used. I always felt that since we speak in sentences to our children then we should teach them exactly how they speak and how they hear the language.
I did this with my son. It gave him a head start. He went to school already reading and counting and by high school he almost scored a perfect score on the ACT. They labeled him as gifted, but I attribute his ability to pick up so quickly is reading so early. ❤
What you outlined here in your video is the exact method of the book "Phonics pathways" by Dolores Hiskes. I started this book when my son was 3 yrs and 1 month old. He is now 4 yrs and 2 months old and reading at a 5th grade level. Phonics works and I can attest to it. Kudos to you for using this tried and true method and not the garbage the public schools are using now.
Amazing!
I am so shocked how doing letter sounds on flash cards really works. My 3 yr old is delayed with speech. I have been working with the flashcards for 2 months straight, each morning after breakfast. And he knows all letters and sounds by sight. His confidence is growing, his speech is improving. Its absolutely stress relieving, to see him learning and really understanding. I have bought 3 books of your books thus far. I just added this book to my Amazon cart. Thank you so much Ms. Jady.
I started following you years ago. My son is the number 1 reader in his 2nd grade class now. Thank you 🙏🏾.
Thank you soo much for your educational videos. My first child has learned to read by age 4. Now, I am teaching my other two in the same fashion. This binder will be an amazing addition to all of the binder work we have of yours. I recommend all of your resources to everybody! Our success first and foremost goes to God and then Jady A learning! Thanks again!
We started Jady’s method this past summer when my daughter turned 4. We have had great success with it and it has given me confidence that yes, I can teach my child to read! Thanks again Jady! Excited to get the binder for my younger daughter!
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! I am going to do the same “binder” with letter blending, and the vowels being in red…. I’m so GRATEFUL that I found you on TH-cam ❤️
Thank you so much Jady!!! After homeschooling 12 children, this is by far the fastest & easiest method I've tried. My 3 yr. old just read her first book today, because of your method. Hoping you're going to make more videos and binders/levels for the next steps in reading after cvc words. So thankful for your help and all that you share with others. God Bless you!
Is it Free to download
Is this method for second graders too?
This is amazing and encouraging I need to give myself grace What did you do when your child was 2 years old ?
Giiirl my son is 12. When he was a baby you uploaded a video and I taught him using your giant chart and he was reading at 3. I’m soooo glad you have redone your teachings.. made it even simpler to follow and getting coins… I send you many blessings you ARE A GODSEND ❤️❤️❤️❤️
i started this system with my 2.5 year old, for 8 weeks. now she is progressing to 3 letter blend, e.g. dot, pen, wig. it is fun and she loves it! I am happy that she has made good progress. Highly recommend! Anyone can do it, literally
This is a wonderful resource! I used your method to teach my now 6-year-old to read at age 4 and am starting again with my youngest. Thanks again for all your great resources and videos!
I am so excited for this program I taught my three-year-old now five-year-old how to read using this program and she is now reading that a second grade level it’s absolutely incredible and I can’t wait to start with my youngest again.
Hi Jen, my daughter is 3 now. I know it’s never too late to start learning how to read but did feel you like your daughter was behind when she started at 3 instead of starting at 1 like Jady’s son did?
I know I feel pressured like my daughter is behind due to other 1 and 2 year olds reading, pouring their own drinks, and getting dressed (using the toilet, even), but I know that's not the point behind most of the videos these mothers make. I think we just put so much pressure on ourselves and others. Wherever you are at with your child/ren, I'm sure you're doing awesome wherever you're at.
Oh it’s never too late to start, and there couldn’t be any disadvantage for starting at 3! ❤️ Almost all kids will read when they’re ready, whether you start teaching them at 1, 3, or 6 years old. It’s definitely not a race, and there’s no rush. The most important thing is fostering a love of literacy and reading, and learning in general. Don’t compare your little one to where someone else’s child is at, or what age they started reading, their learning journey is their own. By the time children are in high school, it doesn’t matter if they started reading at 3 or 6, if they were pouring their own drinks or getting themselves dressed by 18 months. It makes no difference by the time they’re teenagers, let alone adults. We love our academics in our family, our boys were reading by 4, and our three year old started reading when she was 2.5 years old (she’s now three years old), but we focus just as much on a growth mindset, persistence and kindness.
Such a awesome story. I'm just starting off with my 4 yr old, now that he knows letter sounds. Your story gives me hope that 1. I can teach him, and 2 he too will be able to read in no time.
He's SO adorable 😍
And yes, I can attest to "Jady's method". My now 6 year old learned to read in just a few weeks and now my 3 year old is starting to read!
Thank YOU so much for sharing your ways with us Jady!!! God bless you and your family ❤️
Just order your book for my 6-year-old son. My son has struggled academically for so long now. Unfortunately, the school system where I live isn't so great, so I am genuinely trying to work with him at home, and I am so excited to get started on this book with him; thank you so much for everything you do!

Did this help your 6vyr old?? My 8yr old is struggling so I'm curious
I’ve been following you for a while, I was able to teach my daughter to read by 3 thanks to your useful tips!! Now that my son is almost 2 I’m circling back to remember all the tips on reading 📖
Yay! Thanks, Judy! Taught my daughter using your word family flashcards and my youngest has also used a lot of your resources. They love your videos too. Can’t wait to give this new one a go! Blessings to you and your family.
Seriously thank you for this. I started a curriculum with my daughter and it was trying to teach her ALL the vowel sounds at once. Like long A, short A and it was just so confusing to her. This is so much more simple
I have always loved your step by step, incremental, common sense approach to teaching. Thank you and book ordered!
Thank you Jady! I got your binder and my child learned how to read before the age of 3! Now we are waiting for our Bob books! Your method really worked, along with parental guidance and patience! Thank you Jady! I got your binder and my child learned how to read before the age of 3! Now we are waiting for our Bob books! Your method really worked, along with parental guidance and patience!
I just bumped into your videos and I will pass this on to my clients. I used this reading method for my daughter when she was 2 and she learned to read by 2.5 I now have an 18 month old that knows her sounds 🙏 I don’t do this for them to learn I’m a child developer so I examen them all the time basically use them as experiments 😆
I'm happy to find this video. My kids are 9 and 7 and still cant read. They are being checked for dyslexia due to flipping a lot of letters around and mixing up the sounds. They also have IEPs for being behind. Im trying to catch them up. Im going to binge watch your videos!!
Try her way I bet you they will read and let the world know.Maybe it will take longer if they really have dyslexia but if not they will learn fast.Goodluck really I would love to know the result.
I taught my 2 little ones to read following your advice. This is a great resource. Thank you for sharing. I will share this.
Thank you Jady! I got your binder and my child learned how to read before the age of 3! Now we are waiting for our Bob books! Your method really worked, along with parental guidance and patience! 🙏 (Which I didn't have ☹️). Lol
Teaching to my two kids is a headache to me since I am a solo parent and at the same time I am currently finishing my college degree . sometimes i feel guilty for not being a fulltime mom to them. I couldn't teach them bymyself. But watching this video gave me strenght to do what i cannot do in a simpliest way. Thank you for sharing us your guidance in teaching your children how to read in as early of their age. Thank you so much this is a blessing for me since im struggling how manage it. More power to you for your shared experience..😇😍
Love it. Thank you for always making it easy to teach 🙏🏾
I just saw your lessons recently n my 4 year grandson loves them n is even motivated by son to read. Thank you so much
thank you Jady... I was getting frustrated and rather impatient however stumbling across your video has changed my frame of mind and added value to my daughter and my life. you deserve nothing but greatness.
Hint for anyone with dyslexic kiddos
I know everyone is different, but my experience is they did better with each blend and word on individual colored flash cards instead of several on black and white paper
More than one on a page was distracting and the color seemed to help
Love your system and it’s so helpful!
Just a little tip for any child still struggling
Once they got those 3 letter CVC words down we moved to sentences on a page…but the beginning was easier with flash cards
I do love the idea of a binder Jady, brilliant for many many kids!

I just bought this on tpt! I cannot wait till monday!!! Thank you!!! I run a small learning pod, and I am looking forward to implementing this binder! You rock!!
Jady you are amazing. I thankyou so much for my homeschool journey!
Bless you and your wonderful family!!.
I love your alphabet sound video. Would be SO awesome if you had a phonetics for each 2 letter sounds too. I like how calm and peaceful your tone is vs the obnoxious videos on youtube.
I’m really glad I found your videos. I just started teaching my almost three year old the letter sounds and he’s picked it up really fast. I am so surprised. Thanks for all the tips!
Thank you soooo much for sharing. My daughter is now one of the best readers in her class. A very proud mom here.
I'm in Sénégal West Africa and I've volunteered to teach my neighbor's 14 year-old son to at least speak, read and write in English. He's never been to school because he has no teeth and he says that the children tease him. I'm not educated to be a teacher but I figure I should be able to help him but I feel quite clueless. It looks like you'll be a huge resource for me. Will buy the books tomorrow. Thanks so much for sharing your gift.
This was very helpful! Thank you so much making all these videos! I can’t wait to do this with my kids!
I really admire the work of educators, it's a bit tiring task, but it pays off in the end to see the affection and the result of the child's learning. I loved the video, so cute 😍
Absolutely genius. Way to go mama! I’m going to start with my 4 year old this weekend!!
This has me feeling like I’m learning how to read for the first time lol welp, looks like I’m on my way to print the lessons to teach my 4 year old. This is giving me the confidence I need to teach my own child. Thank you!
Just placed my order Jady.
I have been following your journey for a long time now and I incorporate some, if not most of your styles of teaching in our homeschool. Because of your videos and gentle approach to teaching, my 1 year old is learning his letter sounds and he quite enjoys it! I want our journey to be student led for the most part and he is just chugging along 😊
God bless you mama!
My first child starting reading with your method and now I am starting to teach my other two. Just bought the book on Amazon. I’m sure it will be easier for me now. 😅
Awsome book I used it to teach my 2yrs grandson to read. He's doing excellent he's 3yrs now. Thank you I taught my children to read when they were 2yrs also. I used a different method 33yrs ago.
Jade you give me so much hope. And I cling to that hope that I will be able to teach my daughter the same. You really inspire me 😀
I have been trying to teach my granddaughter since she was 7 months , she’s almost 2 & I’m ordering this book today!
Thank you so much. I’ve used this method for kids over the years and it wonderful. So easy. God bless you!!!
I follow your channel since I have come accross your methods it has made my life so easy. All i have to do is just follow yout instructions. Mumy child started reading at 3 using your method. I wmfeel so good now look at her reading skills. Thank you so much for your channel. Now I am focusing on maths for her.
What a great mom teaching your children from home.something i need to work on for myself and my child. Thanks for sharing this video
Jody you have done it again! I have taught my older two children how to read with your method and will be purchasing the notebook on Amazon for my three year old. We have already started your flashcards matter with him… such as simple and joyful way to teach your kids how to read. 💐 thank you!!!
I'm ordering now! My 14 year old has been reading since he was 3 and i taught him even while doctors wanted to say he was autistic and wasnt going to be able to read. But now 2 more little ones and so this should be helpful for them❤
Such a great technique! Reading is so important for our little ones mental and emotional development.
This is wonderful advice! My daughter recently turned 5 years old it took a while for blending to click. We finally got there, but it probably would have been easier with your method. I bought elemental phonics level 1 for when my son is ready to read.
Btw i taught letter sounds with dollar tree flash cards, and the letter sounds video you did 7 years ago! I did a voice over because kids tend to like their mom's voice more but it was definitely effective. She had letter sounds mastered in 8 weeks!
Thanks again. You are such an immense help to families.❤
I purchase this yesterday! Im so eager to get started with my 3 yr old. Thanks so much for this download.
Thanks for sharing. My two older boys who are special needs have learned to read using this same method.
Hey, that's awesome! My youngest was reading books on his own at 2 years old. My baby girl was reading at 3years old and my eldest was reading on her at 31/2 years old. I taught all 3 of my kids. My children could identify their alphabets , number and colors at 3 and 4 months old.!!!! At 6 months old they mastered all, including shapes. By the time they were 1 years old they knew over 100's of sight words.
How?
Please do share your method
Looks so simple! Cant wait to print off and begin with my 3 year old. Thanks Jady!
Thank you for sharing Jady. This is so helpful to teach the very young learners to read.
Omg this is so simple and so helpful! Thank you so much. You are a Super Teacher Mom. I have search for a system a way that Emilie my six year old would actually get excited and engaged. We love it. She was really surprised to see your 3 year old in the video she got all fired up. Again, congratulations and keep sharing all your wonderful knowledge. Blessings for you and your family.
My story is I didn't have any problems with reading but once while visiting my grandma when I was like 7 I asked one of my aunt's to teach me so I could be a good writer and write letters to my friend who lived in their town.She taught me this method I swear it was like 10-29 min one sitting and from that day I had no problems in English reading ,spellings or writing.
This is brilliant! Will be buying today. Can’t wait to add this to our homeschool toolbox. Thank you so much for sharing with us all 💗
I love you so much for this tbh, I'm an older brother trying to teach my little sister how to read and it's working!
Your method works. And its not complicated. I’ve taught a group of kids from age 2-6 (still teaching them in private homeschool) and they all read 2-3 grade levels above level for their age group.
I salute you you are such an amazing mom for your kids they are blessed like you agreed mom very inspiring very inspiring every day
Thank you very much for this beautiful method. I was struggling with my child in learning and reading, and he was going away from me, but this is an interesting method that made him love it.
You saved me
This is perfect! Thank you! Can I ask after you finish the binder do you move straight to books or is there another step?
Thank you so much for sharing I have been following for a while. I bought your preschool curriculum and going to buy this one too. I will keep you updated on how it goes! God Bless!
I just received this book for our 2 year old. I can't wait to begin teaching her since she already know her abc and all the sounds..
So grateful, you give me a hope to teach my son using your simple method ❤️❤️ I will do my best and tell you the results 🙋❤️
i just got the printables for my toddlers all the way from Nigeria . thank you!!!!
Just ordered thank you! I'm going to visit the grandkids for a few weeks and my goal is to teach my 4yr old to read while I'm there!
You are truly a wonderful soul. Thank you!! Purchasing the book on Amazon now
I was taught this way as a three year old in 1956.
When I was training to be a teacher, I did a six week teaching practice on a US airbase, here in the UK. I couldn't believe how hard the system used in kindergarten was there! The kids were taught letter names, not phonetically. They also wrote everything in capital letters because, the class teacher told me, they are easier to form. That meant they had to relearn both sounds and letter formation later in the school year. and several children were totally confused and struggling. I'm surprised to hear that that still goes on in US schools.
My grandson is in school. Now nearly six, he's close to the end of his second year and reads, writes and spells easily in two languages taught there, each with different sounds to letters. If he wasn't doing so well and enjoying school, we would home school. As a teacher, I encourage parents living in areas where the schools do not suit their children or live up to their own expectations to do so. Schools are necessary for those who can't, or don't wish to teach at home but parents are, after all, the primary teacher on so many yhings. Great to see this in action. Your kids clearly love it😊.

Thanks for ur explanation
I so appreciate your comment and perspective. Thank you!
I just got all 4 of your books Jady thank you! I got the alphaphonics too 🙆🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️ thank you thank you Jady!! ♥️ I start using tomorrow
This was so great! Thank you so much for sharing. Excited to start on this with my 2 year old :)
This is brillloant. I’m going to use this for my kids as I’ve been struggling to teach them to read, thanks!
This is phenomenal!! Thank you so much for sharing- I will be compiling this style for my 4yr old. You are inspiring. Your little dude is adorable, by the way!
I haven’t finished watching this video yet but I have always loved the sing spell read and written phonics song for my kids!
Thank you so much my child was struggling read and spelling words after this video he learn so much and now is reading thank you for this
I believe and can relate to your method the best out there but still some people want everything the hard way.Love you.
My 3 year old reads books newspapers...n this started from 2 years n it's getting better n better
I love your videos. the one about mean voice while I'm teaching saved us. I'm using sweet voice. thank you . you are such a great teacher and mom. ❤️
Hi Jady, I have taught my child to read using your method and also purchased your course. How do we move beyond 3 letter words? How do we teach them to read more complex words. Thank you.
God Bless this lady!!!👏🏽
I love it, step by step is very clear and beautiful Thank you so much by teaching children the gentle and best way will help children develop properly.
We have loved your elemental phonics program my oldest has taken off with his reading after trying many others that did not work. My next oldest is just starting level 1 Now I am wondering what do you start them with after they complete all 3 levels. I worry about them having gaps. I'm their learning moving onward. Right now, we use explode the code, handwriting without tears, the bob books and other readers, and phoncis games/printable to help reinforce. Thank you!
Wow that is so great. My son is just over one, he's said about 4 words so far but this is very inspiring! I'm definitely going to try working on the abc sounds with him rather than the abc song that I've been doing all the time.
So excited!!!! Just purchased my copy on Amazon for my 4year old and eventually my 2 1/2 year old (he’s currently mastering letter sounds lol)🤩🤩🤩🤩

Hello, Jady A
I am SO glad you shared this learning method, thank you. Very cool way of thinking & teaching. It makes a lot more sense to approach reading this way.
I have a 2 year old & this is a game changer for sure. Bravo!
