As a former classroom teacher of a couple of decades and now a homeschool mom and consultant for other families, not being very experienced honestly in dyslexia, I am so glad that I found this video and found you! This is so helpful!
Wow, my granddaughter just told me the b and d look the same, and the p and q look the same to her. This video gives me hope in being able to help her.
My son has trouble with blending. He has adhd and struggles with recall. He knows his sounds but even at age 9 he can't blend well at all. He can "read" because he has memorized words through repeated exposure but he can not blend sounds which is obviously a problem but we've had some improvement using the Handbook for Reading from Abeka and their my blends book. However we do have to drill over and over and over for days before he retains it. I've never thought about having him keep his mouth open after a vowel though. I'll have to try that on Monday.
Hi Katharine! The CV…C strategy that you talk about reminds me a lot of successive blending. Not sure if you’ve heard of it? I suppose so… I like how you make the last letter “sort of” fly on the a paper and the stress you put on leaving the mouth open for the vowel to get you ready to say the last sound. With my youngest daughter we used to make drawings of the letters in context (for instance the letter’m’ is two mountains) - she would draw them , highlight the “m” shape oh the drawing itself and, then, go ahead and decorate the picture. We even had discussions around the letters and why they had the shape they had. She had so much trouble with letter and sound identification! I can’t believe she’s learned them and she’s blending so well right now too!
No I haven’t, thanks for sharing a new terminology!! And you sound like you’ve done an awesome job trying different strategies for your daughter. So great to meet you. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Really nice to meet you too! You’ve got very good content I’ve been enjoying and learning from. My youngest daughter is thankfully now already blending cvc words too. But it was a journey, I tried all types of strategies with her!
Same here it’s up to a point where I’m feeling frustrated my son has been held back because of this I myself have even thought that my son is not trying hard enough but I’m willing to learn more on this topic so i can better help him ❤️
I’m so sorry. For some kids with dyslexia, adhd can impact their long term memory so accessing the sounds may be difficult until the adhd part is treated. See if you can find a dyslexia teacher in your area that will do hands on, explicit lessons either your kiddo.
Yes, I think the biggest takeaway is to be open to strategies outside of curriculums as they are not personalized to kids’ personality, learning style, and interests. For kids with autism, I would make sure the cards/letters are designed around their interests and use similar strategies. Some kids with autism learn to read very quickly and may get bored with phonics, so just monitor their learning speed and be open to adjust accordingly.
Would you like a zoom consultation? If I work with your child for about 30-40 minutes, I can most likely figure out where you should start and what might work for them. Email me at allthewritecolors@gmail.com

I hope it helps. ADHD can impact recall for some kids where the long term memory piece is hard. You sound like a very patient momma.
i think this will work, i'll try it with my son, hope it works. thank you

@@LearningReadingHub are you friends with @allthewritecolors?
Thanks! This is very helpful.
So glad it was helpful!! Which strategy do you think will help your child the most?
You’re welcome. So glad it was helpful.
I am ADHD, my daughter is 9 i think she has it too. 😢 She can't read and its breaking my heart. 💔

Along with such therapy, I have seen homeopathy somewhat helps.
Is this applicable also for kids with Autism?

I feel helpless. I don't know if I'm too impatient or I'm not doing enough. My son is 8. He has ADD, it's a struggle teaching him to read.😢

My nephew is dyslexic and writes some of his numbers backwards and some of his letters.
