not only is he teaching us how to teach our kids how to read but also how to deal with our attitude and behavior with the children. man so appreciated!!!!
YES! I am so grateful. I know my attitude has made things worse at times. I want to do this right for my grandson. He is so smart, and capable, he can do this, when he has success he can hardly believe it. If I get my part right, he will soar, beyond me, beyond all expectations. The public school is failing to do their job, demanding he do better, take the responsibility.
I love the fact that you explicitly stated your high expectations for ALL kids. We take away a child’s self-confidence when we don’t give them an opportunity to experience reach goals that they never believed they could do. That’s the natural high of being an educator🤗 Thank you for your ministry👏🏽👏🏽
Mom of 2 here. I moved to away and had no community or family support. So i asked God✝️ to show me. This is what I did for my children with no teaching background. This works! My children are 25 & 29. They soooo thsnked me. Their peers struggle because they missed this. I am now working with disabled children and use this daily with them. Thank you for putting yjis on video. It's so wonderful. This needs to go viral. I would add this only thought: it's OK the parents had help. It takes a community to raise children.
Sped preschool teacher of 20 years here. Thank you for putting words to what I'm doing and why it works! Sharing your content with my families and staff. Thank you so much for the way you model and your passion for supporting kiddos and families. You're an excellent teacher.
I work with three children about 5 times a week, and it’s not a full classroom of kiddos but they each have different personalities and so I really stress out about how to approach our sessions together. Some days are stellar and some days feel like a step backwards. We usually have an hour, hour and a half long sessions but I have one student that has a shorter attention span and this video just calmed me down and gave me the reset I need.
I teach The Big 6 to small groups (Oral language, phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension). I have been using these techniques you describe for 15 years, with great success. I love watching the students' literacy learning journeys. Sometimes, I see' light bulb' moments. At other times it's a slow dimmer switch turning on. For some students, I need to provide them with an extension cord for the plug to stay in the socket! My dad was a sparky, can you tell?😂 EVERY child, even those with learning disorders, has the capacity to learn. That capacity is dependant upon my teaching and realistic expectations. However, parent involvement in a child's learning journey is absolutely the most critical aspect of success. It breaks my heart, as well as makes me angry, how many people have such negative perceptions of teachers, externalising the job and forgetting the important role as teacher in the home.
My wife talked to our daughter like an adult and now at 4 years of age. Can clearly communicate with you, clearly communicate her feelings without screaming or without fuss
This was so helpful to see some of the ways you've adjusted to help him focus, reward in the process, and keep him engaged. I am looking forward to trying this out
Thanks for sharing your teaching methods. I am going to try this with my 3 year old granddaughter. You are so patient and very effective. God bless you😊
Thanks for showing a real lesson with the child, it was very helpful to see you in action. And thanks for all the tips. I have a master's in Music Education, but learned so much from you regarding engaging little ones.
Thank you so much for this, how i wish i knew sooner. I have a terrible parenting experience with my 9 year old. Now my 3year old is experiencing this bad time as well. I always struggle to get them to do what i want them to do i get mad and end up hitting and yelling and i swear it breaks my hearts to see them so scared of me.. when i come close to them they run for their lives and hide. I really feel bad. I've always wanted to get help with this, I've been praying asking God to help but it just never stops, im so afraid that my kids will believe that i never loved them or cared about their feelings. I really wish to change my behavior and raise them with the warmest love they deserve 😢💔
I get you, I've been there lots of times, and unfortunately it's almost always external factors that make me believe I have no patience to deal with these stressful situations. I have notice that the times I have less external affections, I feel more patient and I myself have already practice this tips without noticing I was doing it right, and it worked at the moment I did. Sometimes we just forget that they are little children having their own minds and their own stages. Whenever their struggling with a tantrum or you know, dealing with their own feelings outlaid, forget about the rest of the world and focus on caring only for that one kid who's suffering uncontrollably, getting to their level and offer them a hug will make a difference, a hug one! You sometimes don't even have to say anything, just get on your knees and offer them your physical support. They very much appreciate it and they open up to you by themselves, then we have the chance to start with validating: ''I know this is frustrating/I know you feel sad/or whatever he feels', but...'' move to offer options to solve the situation they're going through. It's always more about ourselves and our opportunity to calm and deal with situations that aren't really that difficult to solve.
@anabarajas3984 Thank you so much for your reply. I need to start practicing these tips. Sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough to raise them but then again I love them so much I don't want anyone doing anything bad to them or not taking care of them the best way they deserve. I even thought of taking the older one to the place where they raise children and thought maybe I could claim him back when he's a bit older.. at least in that way he won't be having the only harsh memories of the upbringing and stuff. I swear to God i need help with myself, I need to learn better parenting skills and reduce on frustrations🥺
@@thobekaradebe1705 hi. It is ok. Dont worry! The best thing we can do as a parents is to try to improve our behavior and tray to be better every day, just looking for this video means you care a lot for your kids, so from now and on remember why you started this journey. 😊
I'm glad to find your video on TH-cam. I followed you on Fb and thought my years old using your video. Thank you so much, and I needed this.God bless you
Thank you Thank you Thank you This is so helpful. That leap from knowing the sounds and blending them into words can be so challenging. I'm going to share this with all our pre-k parents.
I don't know why this showed up in my feed as I'm a grandma but it is fascinating. When I went to school, this was accepted method of teaching. Teachers were in charge and therefore made the decisions, students were expected to learn and progress because of the unspoken belief that we were capable. Parents,please learn from this channel. Children feel safe when they know an adult is in charge, even while learning
Such good info. I've learned I need to have my lessons prepped to work right through without me getting distracted by other things or flipping through my lesson books
Your approach to teaching is beautiful! I wish all teachers would watch your approach! It’s so impressive how you build the student’s confidence to try. You’re creating a safe place to make errors and guide them to the correct response without tearing down their self esteem! ❤❤❤
I don't have kids , but i love this channel. Taking notes for the future. Honestly, I really really wanna buy your course but I have no idea what I'd do with it. Maybe volunteer?
Wow i was meMerized... I do do some of this....but just was puzzled as ti why it worked sometimes and sometimes not . This definately improves my game. So my body language touch making it a game fun calm positive energy great so it was my staements questiins and directions i git to work on i didnt think its as much dicipline as others think... Thanks for sharing this
This is great!! My daughter is 6 in the first grade. She is struggling so very much! Your approach is great. Should I master how to teach her before I introduce her to this? I pray and strongly feel this will work for her.
My free training is a great place to start to help you learn so you can teach her. I also have 3 online courses. Link for free training if you're interested-- www.toddlersread.com/free-workshop
Just came across your channel. This is awesome! Could you share how this works with a classroom? What are the other students doing and how long would you work with them one on one? Thank you for your response.
I'm a high school graduate and I have a bro who's not 4 yet. Our mom told me it's my job to educate him now- so for someone as clueless as me, this is beautiful.
It's not your "job". It's something really nice and appreciated for you to help your sibling, but it's not something that you should feel pressured into doing.
Is it essential to be so enthousiastic? Because most of the time I'm so tired and i cant pull up the happy high energetic tone as you did here with the boy after every sound ..
Thank you for the great info in this video. One small thing..."me" is an objective, not subjective, pronoun. I understand that, "me and you," is ubiquitous these days, even among people who have too much education to justify it. Kids should be exposed to the correct "you and I." They already hear the incorrect, "me and you," all around them. Other than that, I appreciate the new info you provided. I look forward to using it.
I wish i had this years ago for my oldest daughter. Because i think i traumatized her. I had to learn this just last year she is ,8 mow. I had alot of unlearning to do with my daughter. But im glad i did because now i have 2 young ones
So my kids are listening to their older brother's answer when I ask a question they hear him say the correct answer and instant of trying to answer the question on their own they just copy his answer so can you help !e with that
not only is he teaching us how to teach our kids how to read but also how to deal with our attitude and behavior with the children. man so appreciated!!!!

Thank you very much, now i have idea how to teach my princess
Thank you. My son is 4 and I want to teach him to read even if he doesnt go to first grade until he is 6. :)
Hello, where can i get those phonic cards from. I really feel like those ones you use will help my child. Thank you
Do you have a strategy or advice on teaching children who confuse letters like d&b m&w p&q s&z etc.?
Thanks 🙏 ❤😊
My son started reading at the age of 3 without being taught. He still goes about his normal life like any other kid.
How old was he when he began taking and was he engaged in lots of conversation perhaps even before this time?
Do you give online support as well? Or online teaching?
I have 3 online courses!
Wow he did amazingly 👏🏾👏🏾I don't kids but I am terrified I
Don't well
omg yes this is needed indeed. I got a 4.5 yr old singing I'm gonna break your heart
I'm learning this for my next life!! No kidding
Is it essential to be so enthousiastic? Because most of the time I'm so tired and i cant pull up the happy high energetic tone as you did here with the boy after every sound ..
The key to this is having a plan and being prepared.
Awsome
!
Thank you very much
You're welcome!
Excellent👌👌
You should be a Teacher 😊
does this strategy work for older children 8 years old who is easily distracted in all his activities.
This is great
