Thank you for breaking down the 4 myths. So many children are taught to memorize the sight words beginning at home because the perhaps the parents weren't taught the proper way to decode or sound out the letters for words. You are so helpful!
Exactly!! I was never taught phonemic awareness/phonics as a kid (or learned it in my teacher-prep classes or my master's program.) So I never knew that having kids memorize words was ineffective until I started my science of reading journey a few years ago. I'm hoping the more this message is spread to parents & teachers, the more we can positively impact students!
Awww, thank you! And you're so welcome!! I'm so glad these videos are helpful to you. I love sharing this information and only wish I knew it when I first started teaching!
I have been out of the classroom for seven years. I am excited to be teaching my favorite age, Preschool! Your videos are so informative. I am both excited and a bit overwhelmed, but I am going to begin by learning with my littles. Thank you! I am really enjoying your channel.
What an exciting year for you! I agree, preschool is such a fun age to teach. You're going to have a blast :) There's definitely been a lot of new information published over the last 7 years about how best to teach our little ones, but you have such an open mindset and willingness to learn that I'm sure you'll find your groove in no time! Good luck & let me know if I can do anything to help!
You're welcome! I used to believe some of these myths (and many teachers & parents still do), so hopefully this video helps with the confusion about these terms.
I was just reading more about the schwa (lazy vowel) and how it can only occur in an unstressed syllable in a multisyllabic word. "The" and "A" are just about the only one syllable words with a schwa sound. So interesting!

Thank you for sharing the importance of sounding out high frequency words.
You're welcome! It makes such a huge difference!
It was helpful to be reminded to focus on teaching my kids to blend and segment words orally first before moving on to reading. Thank you!
Yes, that really is the key!! Once they acquire that skill, blending printed words is SO much easier!
Omg!!! Love this information. This makes so much more sense!!! Oral Language is key!
I'm so glad you liked it! And I totally agree!
Awesome vedeo! I've never left any comments on TH-cam videos. But your videos are so helpful!!Thank you!

You are absolutely correct!
We need to help more parents & teachers to understand this information. It will only positively benefit our kids!
Always so helpful!
Thank you so much!
Great information! Thank you

The unexpected vowels are usually just lazy vowels.
