I have a learning disability which, my grandmother caught on early. So she got a kit of some sort that was hooked on phonics. With her patience, she taught me how to read and write.
I learned to read before kindergarten by reading with my parents, so no phonics there. The first I remember being taught phonics was 2nd grade and by then it seemed pointless and I hated the subject because it didn't make sense to me. Now I'm getting ready to teach a K-1 blended class and am panicking because I realize I don't know the phonics of the sounds the letters make so I'm cramming before the start of school.
Anyone else here bc they have a baby and are terrified by all the 8-12 year olds that can’t read so are now cramming phonics to teach them as early as possible?
Trying to help my 2 kids. Neither can read or write bc they don’t teach phonics. One kids teacher has a masters in the field and has decided to teach it anyways. The leaps my child has come in just one school year is crazy. She told me to teach phonics at home
I’m teaching gr 4/5/6 and have about 6 who are reading at grade 1 level. I’m overwhelmed how to teach them and the rest of my class. Thanks for sharing!
When I was a child, I learned how to read when a lady using a book taught me how to sound out each word. But no one does this on TH-cam, I'm hoping someday someone will.
Am totally new to the teaching feild and i watched videos for teachers using a seem like signs or something like this to introduce the sound of a letter, if you teacher please got my point please help me to know the name of the method so i can use it for the kids And thanks in advance ❤
I mean as a mom of a four-year old who wanted to read, and took off like crazy, I feel like we defaulted to incidental. But she can read so well (hundreds of books). We have done a mix (word family books, sound books, decodables).
@@learningattheprimarypond how do you know whether to teach them sound by sound or by blending them? Can you point me to any resources for teaching phonics? Thanks again!
May I ask what your thoughts are on me using dash into reading? Would you recommend to teach reading? If not which curriculum would you recommend other than all about reading and logic of English?
Hey! I personally do not have experience using either of those programs. I did recommend a few pillars for phonics programs in this blog if you want to read through it: learningattheprimarypond.com/blog/5-things-to-look-for-when-choosing-a-phonics-program/
I was taught phonics, systematic, explicit & synthetic - however, I do also remember lessons in the other styles. We had books at home, books on cassette (my cassette reader was mother-goose shaped, I loved it) and I was reading at "an 8th/9th grade level" in 5th. I am utterly shocked at what has happened in schools over the last few years with regard to literacy.😟 Shout out from 2024.
I was taught the Dick and Jane...see Spot run in first grade. Then in 2nd grade, I was taught by the Spaulding method. I will say, I was an early reader before this instruction because my mom read with me at home before kindergarten. But? Phonics in 2nd grade made me a better reader and speller. Phonics definitely needs to come back into the curriculum. Dedicated phonics instruction definitely needs to make a come back. The problem is? Many teachers don't have that background due to all the years of whole language.
This is OK but you are just spouting off theory. You don't talk about the most important part of phonics instruction: the delivery to a large group. Phonics is 90% oral instruction. There are thousands of teachers who have no idea how to teach this information to a group of 6 year olds and that is the audience you need to address. It's fine to talk about research but what does phonics instruction look like on a daily basis? I have yet to see any of you scientific converts to phonics give good instruction. Oral instruction. To a large group.
Hey there! Thanks for the feedback :) This particular video was meant to cover many different methods overall, but I encourage you to watch other videos of mine as well as read my blog (learningattheprimarypond.com/) for specifics on what to include in a whole group/small group phonics lesson!

My nephew is 6 and cannot read or write. He has such a short attention span and a speech problem, but I am determined to teach him over the summer.
May be that could be autism

For sure everyone learns differently!! It's great to reflect on how you learned as a child. Best of luck as you enter this school year!

Yup except I’m trying to help my brother 😭
Trying to help my sister since my mom won’t do it.
Trying to help my son, I am so frustrated right
Yeah, I’m a reading tutor and have witnessed that Covid time off from school really messed kids reading progress up across the whole country.

Very simply explained. Thank you!

You're so welcome! I hope you're feeling less overwhelmed now!
I remember the “plaid” phonics books! I liked them as a first grader.
Clear and practical.
When I was a child, I learned how to read when a lady using a book taught me how to sound out each word.
But no one does this on TH-cam, I'm hoping someday someone will.
That was superb! Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Thank you!
You're so welcome! :)

Are you looking for a resource or a video?
Thanks a lot, colleague!

Different kids definitely need different methods! That's great that your four year old had so much success!
Something I'm confused with on phonics is how to sound them out.
Thake the word lemon.
Is it LE-M-O-N
L-E-M-O-N
L-E-M-ON
Or something else?
Technically it would be "l-e-m-o-n," sound by sound. But eventually you can learn to divide words like this into syllables and blend that way!
@@learningattheprimarypond how do you know whether to teach them sound by sound or by blending them?
Can you point me to any resources for teaching phonics?
Thanks again!
Public NYC School in the 70's, they put Sesame Street on to teach us phonics.
Quite interesting information.
I only remember Dick and Jane (1st?) and SRA (4th maybe?).
Good video. I'm a primary teacher but rarely teach phonics because I teach higher years
Great!

When I was in Kindergarten the school system in FL used Letter People
I was in k-2 in the early 90s, (public school) so I remember having hooked on phonics books... and instruction
Curious if you remember being taught phonics as a student yourself, and if so, what method was used? Let me know in the comments.
I wasn't taught phonics.
1960s In Kansas, there was no phonics taught. We had programmed reading. Read at your own pace.
Dick and Jane!

I learned by sight many years agp
Thanks
great job
I Was never taught any phonics really… actually back in the ‘80s phonics lessons was only for slow readers
Hi Nice to see another Trinidadian on this channel.
has anyone ever said that you sound exactly like judy greer

I don't understand how if people are taught to read using phonics why do we call a bottle of water to sound like Boddle of wader. Or Fiddy Cent.
Flash card and memorize
Too much to take bcoz of continuos explanation
Dick and Jane books
No phonics trying at all.
You talk a lot without saying anything....
I thought that too.
Rodger rabit computer game!
Give us examples not statistics methods !! 🤮
