I bought the Toddler Can Read program for my 2yr old granddaughter, she is now able to recognize and say her alphabets effortlessly, She is also able to make the sound of each individual alphabet. She goes around singing and sounding out the alphabet as this is her favorite and fun thing to do. People are amazed when they find out she actually recognize each alphabet letter without it being in order. They often ask “how old is she.” This is an awesome program and I highly recommend this program 💯% for anyone wanting to give their children or grandchildren a head start in learning. 🙏🏾
I don’t have Flashcards yet and we started a couple days ago with three sounds using a white board. Today we added his construction cones, I told my two year old a sound and then he had to bring his cone to the sound I told him. Watching your videos really helped me keep my son engaged.
I'm so sad I didn't do this earlier. I was always told, "Don't force it, let them play, let them learn on their own time frame. My daughter is now 8. Struggling at school and behind in her work. She hates reading because she is aware that she struggles with it. We are working on it but I want her to enjoy it too and not find it a chore.
Studies show that children get better at reading when they read out loud to animals. If you have a pet, see if she will read to it. Start with short books that she picks out herself. Even if you think the book is lower than her reading level. Let her read it. She will gain practice and habit. Then she will move on from there. Or read together. You read a page, then let her read a page.
This can be done! I can attest to it. I had two children at the time (I have 4 now) my children were 4 and 2. I taught them both how to read at 4 and 2 and they prolific readers now (9 & 11). They have memorized 7 chapters of the Bible and have read all the adult books on my shelf (missionary stories for adults)
My husband and I just did our first practice session with our son after I watched this video. He was so excited after 3, he kept going back to the bookshelf to get "one more sound" until we had to stop him at 6. We didn't want to overload him on the first day. I kept the 6 cards out on the table, and he keeps bringing one to me asking "what's this sound?" and we do a few seconds of review. I'm so glad he likes this approach! Thank you so much for the encouraging content. It gave me the confidence to help my son
My daughter is a strong willed 3 yr old. I’ve been teaching her the sounds. Didn’t work out because she either got distracted or threw a tantrum and started throwing things or hitting me 😒 gonna keep trying on my baby. These videos really give me hope and help me! So thank you!!! Oh and also with the whiteboard she tries to take it away to draw or tells me nonono whenever i try to teach her.
Try teaching her when she is in a good mood. Watch her moods. Use the play way method, that is you learn and play as well and also reward her whenever she co-operates . It could be a "Wow, clap for yourself". Wish you all the best Ma'am.
Lols i feel you here but not with the hitting… no ma’am, you will not. For my little Missy “I’m going to be prissy today” I do like EZ above says and pay closer attention to her moods. She’s almost four and every month (just like adult women), this little lady goes through her monthly mood. It’s typically around the same week of her birthday day each month. Making sense yet? OK so then on top of that. When she says to me “no no no… listen” I change places with her and become the student. Still play learning in a sense :) Example: •I’m teaching her blending with the -oy sound (though it’s usually math she does this for) •she approaches the whiteboard or chalkboard whichever we are using at that time and grabs her writing apparatus and says “no no no listen…” •I sit and I say “I’m listening. What are you teaching me today?” •she starts to underline letters in the words and says “o y sounds like what?” •I respond “uuuuuh” •she corrects me “no it sounds like oy” Basically reverse engineering/psychology On top of that (because she likes to joke and giggle about everything), I exaggerate the sounds and add a mood to the letters or words, if you will. Example: the FL sound in floor I deliver the “fl” with a little shrug and lazy mood like I’m flopping on a couch (man that’s hard to explain in writing lols) Little tricks like that help me on the exceptionally tough days More power to you all!
Kudos to you!! I adore and appreciate your approach. You've hit the nail on the head by encouraging adults to let children learn however they are comfortable. When children start to jump or run around, most teachers and parents spend more time screaming at the child to sit down, be good, pay attention, act right, be still and focus and the child becomes down and frustrated because they focus on the discipline and discomfort rather than the lesson.
Omg thank you so much for this! I’m not a mom but I do have a 3 year old brother and his personality is kind of different from my now 7 year old brother when he was still 3, where he could focus learning these sounds just by sitting down. These are really good ways to make my youngest brother engaged. THANK YOU!
I started teaching my niece to read when she was 4. We finished the book at 6. She can read at an advanced level for sr K now. It totally paid off! Now I want to introduce sounds to her 2 yr sister. Love the play ideas.
Thank you so much for making these videos! My 3 year old has comes leaps and bounds following your methods. Your video about how to teach an overly hyper child was literally heaven sent for me. Thank you so much. God bless you🙏🏻❤️
You have got the male preschool teacher voice down so good 😂 But in all seriousness, just want to say thank you! Love that almost half of this video is just a pep talk for parents who aren't sure where to get started lol.
I am very very glad because my 2 years son doing really nice work.. reading the alphabet and sound. I started to show various flash card when he was 6 months old. And now he is showing very interest in learning new thing. He is sleeping almost 10 to 12 hours a day rest of the time he is playing and 2 hour per day he is doing study... Interactive study is more effective. Don't be late to show and teach various learning thing to your kids. ❤
Wow, you are wonderful! 😮😍 I'm so grateful for your guidance in helping me guide my children! Thank you for being such an awesome teacher and coach! Many children will benefit from your teaching, patience, kindness, and generosity
Thanks a lot for your videos! I’m trying to support my daughter. She is 5 but we aren’t English speakers & it’s been really hard also I feel so bad because I can’t support her better but this channel is helping us a lot.
I can’t afford your courses. But I’m so grateful for these videos they are so helpful. I’ve been teaching my son with autism/adhd how to read. I’m catching a lot of mistakes I’ve been making and it’s helping me to just fix them and move forward. Great tips!
You're great. Thanks for the wonderful ideas. I need to start my toddler learning the sounds and I felt so inadequate with how to go about it. This is a great idea ❤
Could u plz make a folder of your videos from day one to onwards for our convinience so that we could follow all the videos step by step I have started to teach my Son following your directions thankyou so much for such guidance
I am speechless sincerely, maybe because I can imagine how you felt at first. Thank God for going ahead of you! Congratulations Sisi Yemmie Welcome Babies❤🎉
Love it! I am a grandmother and retired teacher, I have share your channel with my son and daughter in love. I am excited and hopeful that they use these techniques with their 3 year old. How do these tips translate to older struggling readers?
Nice! Thanks for sharing. The same steps work for struggling readers as well. Here are some tips for building struggling reader's confidence: www.toddlersread.com/blog/how-can-parents-build-their-struggling-readers-confidence
My son was reading when he turned 2, paragraphs by 2.5. You can do a lot of pre-reading skills like, first, reading to them all the time. Giving them hard words to say to repeat after you, play rhyming games and really emphasize compound words. Make up songs with the letter sounds. We also used the book learn to read in 100 easy lessons and he picked it up quick. Its only 20 bucks. I have seen other young kids pick it up to. We did anywhere from 5-45 minutes depending on his interest and we did the pre reading skills driving and I read to him lots and lots. Young kids are way smarter then they get credit for.
I wish I could give this more than one like. It’s sooo creative and engaging. Absolutely love this, thank you so much! I know what I’m up to tomorrow ☺️
Thanks so much for sharing your expertise!! Our almost 3 year old would have us sit and read her books ALL day if we let her. I’m so happy I found you!
I know my grandson is too young right now (he's only 5 months old), but I want to start doing something to either get me ready to help him to read or start doing things with him that will help him to read. I only have him two days a week right now, and that may change as he gets older, but I want to help him without it "feeling" like work. I love your ideas about letting them fidget if necessary. I'm an ADD Mom who gave birth to an ADD boy. It was VERY difficult for him in school. I knew exactly what how he felt as I went through the same things. I don't know that my grandson will be ADD, but I want to get out in front of this just in case. I have subscribed to your channel and I look forward to learning more about how I can help him learn.
I start with sounds since that’s what they need to read. Some families opt to teach them both at the same time, and some teach letter names later, closer to school.
I have watched loads of your videos. Can you tell me or can someone who has started teaching their children, do you teach them to see and know what the letters are in the alphabet or is it better for them to associate these letters as the sound they make? I hope this question makes sense.
I wasn't born speaking English... my mother tongue is Spanish and now I have the chance of teaching an American girl how to read❤ this is gonna be so fun omg 😂
This is a great video with tips, thanks! My daughter turned 3 end of June; she seems pretty confident with all the letter sounds now, so I've been trying to get her to blend the sounds past couple days, using mostly the whiteboard and marker to write out letters from simple words from a "Bob" book. I feel like I have her attention fairly well when I have her moving around the room just saying the sounds, but getting her to focus for any length of time on the whiteboard as we blend sounds seems more challenging. Would you say the same tips you've suggested here in teaching a toddler their sounds can also apply with teaching how to blend the sounds? Do I take the whiteboard around the room with us just so she can move to keep her energy and momentum. I've been having her run around the table in spurts in between practicing the blending and reading words together, but as soon as she climbs up onto the chair and I try to get her to focus on the whiteboard feel like I'm losing her. I definitely think I'll try bringing in some of her favorite toys to our teaching times.
Hey Sarah- really good question! You can definitely to blending outside of the chair if she's standing up and looking at it, or if you do "out loud" blending when she's not looking at any letters at all. You can also use a toy or doll or car or something to move underneath each of the letters as you blend and see how that goes!
For flashcards or wherever you write the letters, should you do both capital and lowercase letters together? Or first only lowercase and then introduce capital case? What do you think would be the least confusing for my 2 year old?
@@toddlerscanread thanks! I eventually found your video on it. Been binging your content and have been applying your methods to my toddler. It’s making me feel more capable in teaching him for sure.
Mom of 6 here…My sons have done great with learning to read. However my only daughter is 4yo and hasn’t been retaining her alphabet recognition. I’ve tried so many things that she enjoys and even repeats the letter names even sounds but she shortly after forgets. My 2yo son watches and joins in our learning from time to time and her remembers his letters. My daughter is unbothered she encouraged him and cheers him on. Then just chuckles when she can’t remember a letter. She will try to guess or recall it but it’s literally gone out of her mind! Any advice to her her remember? I have done letters of the day now I am at a letter of the week. I have done hide and seek letters and I spy letters around the room. I have scatters letters and played go find me the letters you know. She practices writing her letters . She loves to write, draw and paint by the way. She will even make letters on her own weather she recalls their names or not. She doesn’t have speech or memory issues. She can do sign language and actually preferred that form of communication before she would speak. Before she could talk well around 1yo she would watch the dance routine to “Every move I make” a Christian music video over and over until she learned the dance moves perfectly on her own. So I am just not understanding why she isn’t retaining her alphabet recognition. Please help!
My 4 yo old son is facing the exact same issue. He forgot the alphabets which he is practising from last six months. I had also used the same method of hiding alphabets and let him find and also did the matching and circling worksheets with him. He did all but at the time of asking about alphabets, he forgot half of the recognition of alphabets. Question for you:: How is your daughter with numbers practice ? Actually, I have observed that my son is good with numbers as compared to alphabets. He is able to reco all the numbers and can write with ease. This is my observation that mainly numbers are last 0 to 9 and further is just adding the same. For example 1 and 1 become 11. However alphabets are 26 in numbers. When I count that how many alphabets my child can recognise then I found that these are also 10 to 12 in numbers as he is aware of A,B,C, H,I, L, O, P, T, X,Z . Then I get to know that he will take his time to learn all together. Now I am going to follow @toddlerscanread methodology to let him aware of phonics as well as reco of alphabets.
@@ramandhindsa826 Thanks for sharing. I haven’t checked my daughters numbers for recognition yet. I have only been focusing on her alphabets and cutting in this season as to not overwhelm her since she was struggling to remember them and showed very little interest. I was just thinking yesterday maybe I will switch to shapes or colors that she is a bit better at to encourage her. Then come back to her letters. My daughter is so different from my sons who love all things learning early on. My daughter truly isn’t interested. She’s just tolerating my efforts with her. I’m not terribly concerned as I am dyslexic and didn’t read my first book until the 5th grade but I soared academically after that all way to my Masters and did great career wise as well. For some things just click later and differently. My sons show signs of dyslexia and my daughter doesn’t but there could something else that is different in how she processes information. I follow each of my children’s lead and interest being sure to observe their strength and weaknesses. My girl is truly challenging me by being different but I accept the challenge and am sure we’ll figure it out.
It's now a week with my 3 year old son he already knows 12 sounds abd he enjoys it,the most we say ssss he goes like for snake hahaha I'm enjoying teaching him and I always tell him I'm proud of him so before we start I tell him focus then he ask are you proud of me❤😅😊
I am going to start literally right now thank you for the encouragement and tips!
Yes of course! You're very welcome!
Go by example and work on yourself. That teaches your kid heaps.
As a single father that only wants my son to be better than I ever could hope to be, thank you.
You’re enough.

She hates reading because she is aware that she struggles with it. We are working on it but I want her to enjoy it too and not find it a chore.
Don't give up. Educate yourself on how to help your daughter overcome that struggle. It is possible

I have a 10 year old that was reading at 3. Brushing up to teach my daughter and this is incredible. What an instructor you are.
Stuffed animal friends and incorporating movement have been game changers in our household. Love your videos, they have helped me so much
Grandmother of 2 Toddlers. This is great info. Thank you.

Thank you for teaching us parents with so much kindness and patience. We can see how passionate you are about teaching.
God bless this wonderful man! Thank you so much for helping people 😊❤
This made me so much more confident in actually starting to teach my 3 year old!!!! 💚
I love this, thank you! I feel like I'm being coached too and appreciate all that you're doing for our children and us parents 😊
You’re clearly a fab teacher! Cant wait for my little one to wake up to try this out :) thank you!!!

Focus on the sound! One letter at a time is a huge step ahead towards your toddler’s goal❤ THANK YOU SO MUCH❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome!
This man should be a speech language pathologist. He'd change so many lives.
I started teaching my niece to read when she was 4. We finished the book at 6. She can read at an advanced level for sr K now. It totally paid off! Now I want to introduce sounds to her 2 yr sister. Love the play ideas.
Thank you so much for making these videos! My 3 year old has comes leaps and bounds following your methods. Your video about how to teach an overly hyper child was literally heaven sent for me. Thank you so much. God bless you🙏🏻❤️
This is the greatest channel I just discovered. You’re a gem! Ty
Man this guy is epic!!!!! Lovvvve your vibrancy, your passion your guidance!!!! Thanks dear. You mean more than you think.🇿🇦

Omg thank you this is the way my child learns. I picked up on this and was looking for someone who did the same
This is such a smart approach! Thank you!
I appreciate it!

Thanks a lot for your videos! I’m trying to support my daughter. She is 5 but we aren’t English speakers & it’s been really hard also I feel so bad because I can’t support her better but this channel is helping us a lot.
I’m glad it’s helping! I also have a free workshop too- www.toddlersread.com/free-workshop
Our child just turned 1 (month) and I’m excited to start this!
Love this! We've practiced letter sounds a bit here and there. I appreciate the guidance on how to be more structured!
I can’t afford your courses. But I’m so grateful for these videos they are so helpful. I’ve been teaching my son with autism/adhd how to read. I’m catching a lot of mistakes I’ve been making and it’s helping me to just fix them and move forward. Great tips!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for what you do. I'm excited to get started.
Thank you God for putting Spencer on this path to help the rest of us. Amen!
You are so welcome!
You're great. Thanks for the wonderful ideas. I need to start my toddler learning the sounds and I felt so inadequate with how to go about it. This is a great idea ❤
Could u plz make a folder of your videos from day one to onwards for our convinience so that we could follow all the videos step by step I have started to teach my Son following your directions thankyou so much for such guidance
Great idea.
I am speechless sincerely, maybe because I can imagine how you felt at first. Thank God for going ahead of you!
Congratulations Sisi Yemmie
Welcome Babies❤🎉
Thankyou for showing easy ways for learning. ❤❤❤

I really needed this 🥺 thank you
You’re welcome 😊
If your program was around when my kid 2 or 3...I totally would have started sooner 😀
Thank you soooooooooooo much for this readiness for reading. It is a very important and very useful video
These are very good tips.I am so glad I came across your page!
Glad it was helpful!
I just want to say thank you because your videos are giving me the jobs of my dreams 🥺♥️
you are absolutely a blessing for God thank you so much ❤ God bless i feel so encouraged
Thank you very much for this video. It was very encouraging & insightful.
I wish I could give this more than one like. It’s sooo creative and engaging. Absolutely love this, thank you so much! I know what I’m up to tomorrow ☺️
Thank you very much for this. ❤
Thanks for the suggestions 💫
No problem!!
My son could read most of the cat in the hat book when he was 18 months old. 💛
Bruv your content is amazing. Your approach is fantastic and inspires confidence
This is awesome. Thank you for these great tips for my little ones!
Love how encouraging you are ☺️
Found your videos on Facebook recently, I will practice what I have learnt here from you. My kid is 5.
Thank you this is really encouraging!
Thanks so much for sharing your expertise!! Our almost 3 year old would have us sit and read her books ALL day if we let her. I’m so happy I found you!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much ❤
Man!!! You are awsome!!! So simple and easy!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Thank you so much sir God bless you
Thank you for all your videos 😊
I know my grandson is too young right now (he's only 5 months old), but I want to start doing something to either get me ready to help him to read or start doing things with him that will help him to read. I only have him two days a week right now, and that may change as he gets older, but I want to help him without it "feeling" like work. I love your ideas about letting them fidget if necessary. I'm an ADD Mom who gave birth to an ADD boy. It was VERY difficult for him in school. I knew exactly what how he felt as I went through the same things. I don't know that my grandson will be ADD, but I want to get out in front of this just in case. I have subscribed to your channel and I look forward to learning more about how I can help him learn.
Damn dude. You are so engaging and motovational. Thanks
Thanks for the videos, at what age do you recommend starting please? Age 2, 3 or older please, just wondering when to start.
Thank you for this video 🥰 you're amazing!!
You're welcome!
Thank you 🤗 soooooo much 💖 sir 👏👏 keep update
great teaching techniques! love your videos. Do you name the letter? Or ONLY focus on sound? When do you begin naming the letter?
I start with sounds since that’s what they need to read. Some families opt to teach them both at the same time, and some teach letter names later, closer to school.
This is great! Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Thanks so much..Sounds interesting and will use it to teach my kids.
This is great! Do you have a guide on blending?
Wow this is really awesome! Thank you for this!
Thank you so much for this video!!!
Much appreciated Spencer! 👏👏👏
Very helpful thank you
Thank you sayar I'm from myanmar .

That's so cool. Thank you. First letter could be the first letter of their name.
For flashcards or wherever you write the letters, should you do both capital and lowercase letters together? Or first only lowercase and then introduce capital case? What do you think would be the least confusing for my 2 year old?
I like to teach both at the same time. More info here! ua-cam.com/video/C7kgmrxGuDk/v-deo.htmlsi=A1s_E-Oz5LqOWlnF
@@toddlerscanread thanks! I eventually found your video on it. Been binging your content and have been applying your methods to my toddler. It’s making me feel more capable in teaching him for sure.
Omg this guy is great!!
Priceless
Wow! Genius
Thank you
Mom of 6 here…My sons have done great with learning to read. However my only daughter is 4yo and hasn’t been retaining her alphabet recognition. I’ve tried so many things that she enjoys and even repeats the letter names even sounds but she shortly after forgets. My 2yo son watches and joins in our learning from time to time and her remembers his letters. My daughter is unbothered she encouraged him and cheers him on. Then just chuckles when she can’t remember a letter. She will try to guess or recall it but it’s literally gone out of her mind! Any advice to her her remember? I have done letters of the day now I am at a letter of the week. I have done hide and seek letters and I spy letters around the room. I have scatters letters and played go find me the letters you know. She practices writing her letters . She loves to write, draw and paint by the way. She will even make letters on her own weather she recalls their names or not. She doesn’t have speech or memory issues. She can do sign language and actually preferred that form of communication before she would speak. Before she could talk well around 1yo she would watch the dance routine to “Every move I make” a Christian music video over and over until she learned the dance moves perfectly on her own. So I am just not understanding why she isn’t retaining her alphabet recognition. Please help!
My 4 yo old son is facing the exact same issue. He forgot the alphabets which he is practising from last six months. I had also used the same method of hiding alphabets and let him find and also did the matching and circling worksheets with him. He did all but at the time of asking about alphabets, he forgot half of the recognition of alphabets.
Question for you:: How is your daughter with numbers practice ?
Actually, I have observed that my son is good with numbers as compared to alphabets. He is able to reco all the numbers and can write with ease.
This is my observation that mainly numbers are last 0 to 9 and further is just adding the same. For example 1 and 1 become 11.
However alphabets are 26 in numbers. When I count that how many alphabets my child can recognise then I found that these are also 10 to 12 in numbers as he is aware of A,B,C, H,I, L, O, P, T, X,Z . Then I get to know that he will take his time to learn all together.
Now I am going to follow @toddlerscanread methodology to let him aware of phonics as well as reco of alphabets.
@@ramandhindsa826 Thanks for sharing. I haven’t checked my daughters numbers for recognition yet. I have only been focusing on her alphabets and cutting in this season as to not overwhelm her since she was struggling to remember them and showed very little interest. I was just thinking yesterday maybe I will switch to shapes or colors that she is a bit better at to encourage her. Then come back to her letters. My daughter is so different from my sons who love all things learning early on. My daughter truly isn’t interested. She’s just tolerating my efforts with her. I’m not terribly concerned as I am dyslexic and didn’t read my first book until the 5th grade but I soared academically after that all way to my Masters and did great career wise as well. For some things just click later and differently. My sons show signs of dyslexia and my daughter doesn’t but there could something else that is different in how she processes information. I follow each of my children’s lead and interest being sure to observe their strength and weaknesses. My girl is truly challenging me by being different but I accept the challenge and am sure we’ll figure it out.
I don’t even have any kids yet but I’m watching this
Any advice on teaching to read in 2-3 languages sinoultabeously?
