This video was a huge confidence booster for me as a homeschooling mama! The idea that I know the rules and just need to identify them?! Wow! 💥 Thank you!
Hello!!! I am tutor Alexis in the Philippines. Since i follow you i learned several ideas on how to teach toddlers on their reading session. I was enhance by your guidance so very effective in apply them all . I am very thankful for discovering your channel. I gonna share this to my other co handlers.
I think what your saying is a great idea. Teach all the letter sins first then once they know all those then teach the secondary sounds. That makes perfect sense. This will make reading concepts so much easier. I have the reading program for my 2 year old son. He learned the letter names already which I didn’t know he knew all of them until I did the assessment. He didn’t know 1 letter sound even though I thought I was teaching him. He would say the “a” sound is apple. After watching all the videos and teaching him your way he is getting the letter sounds and is putting together that is what you use to read words! I love this program! It works! I know he will get all the letter sounds by the end of the year and start start on blending 2 letter sounds before I know it. Thank you!
I appreciate all the "Toddlers Can Read" fundamental amazing get them started videos, they are AWESOME!!! On the other hand ENGLISH Rules to reading certainly contains plenty diversity; and treasure box detouring from the rules and gives a completely different concept some look alike words & sounds Nonetheless it was a reminder tickle 😁 to see them pointed out in the comments👍🏽 🌞🌳💐
Thank you so much. I really struggle with this exact thing. I never know what sounds to teach. Sorry I've left comments on your other videos about this exact problem.
My daughter is yr 1 and her phonics screening test is coming in a week and I am stressed. She knows all the primary sounds and the soft sounds too but she doesn't know that while reading she also has to use the soft sound too in some words . We both are struggling 😂😢
Hi Spencer! Thanks for this amazing video! I wanted to ask you, how do you teach this for digraphs such as « ea » (dream, head, break) or « ou » that can so many different sounds (house, soup, four, shoulder etc) etc etc There’s no rule it seams and it’s so confusing for my 5 year old!! How do you teach all these alternative sounds 2 letters can make ? 🙏🏻
Same boat. I find taking the sight words /whole words approach works best in these cases. I have taught my child through phonics but we are learning to read some words by sight to erase confusion.
I taught my daughter the hard sounds, and short vowel sounds. The problem is that some educational shows taught her different sounds, and it confused her! With the next child, I'm going to hold off on those educational shows and just use flashcards, to eliminate confusion.
I'm trying to internalize this, and I put the word "give" on the left side and you put the word "magic" on the right side. So if I've taught them that u, a, o makes the hard G sound and e, y, and i makes the soft G sound, how would I explain when if they came across "magic" and "give"? Or should I back track and avoid that because now we're going into the magic E rule? This is my first time teaching 1st grade, second year teaching overall and it's a lot to take in tbh.
What happens when the g is followed by an e but still requires the hard sound as in "Gear"? So hard sound for Gear but soft sound for "Gem"? What would be the rule? Is it that g followed by "e" is the soft sound but when the g is followed by the "ea" sound it makes the hard sound?
Please help me. I have a seven-year-old who is struggling in reading, writing and spelling. He was born with hearing loss. He wear hearing ad his whole life. I’ve expressed to the school but I’m not getting any help from them. He cries every time we try to read. Unfortunately it’s so hard for me to teach him as I never got to learn phonics or how to decode the words.reading correctly as a child when I came to America, we didn’t have ESL program in my school. I’ve struggled my whole life with reading, writing and spelling. I don’t want my children to suffer the same way. If you have any advice, please let me know. I just moved to Houston Texas and really need some guidance. It’s heartbreaking to watch your children suffer, especially when I know what that feels like please help me.
Hey there, I'm sorry he is struggling. Here's a free resource that might help you get started to help at home. (sessions open up end of this week) www.toddlersread.com/pages/free-workshop
That's getting into digraphs (gh, th, sp, kn, wh, etc.). I'm not a professional, but what I've been doing with my son for now (while finding a good way to formally teach him about them) is just pointing out that those are different cases, tell him the sound, but then let him know that I'll teach him about later lol. He's very early in learning to read, so I can get away with this for now. But definitely doing my research for when time runs out!

I adore you as a teacher, you really help me to improve my teaching skills.

Hi
Thanks so much for sharing.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thanks so much for this, love your teaching method!!! I’ve been using your app and my daughter picked up so fast!!!
Thank u teacher ❤❤🎉🎉
Thank you!!!
Making "rules" for the English language reminds me of herding cats. This is very helpful as always.
Hi can we be friends
Thank you. You’re making our journey a little easier. 💪🏽
Agreed
You're welcome, I'm so glad!
Thank you!!
Thankyou very much
Thank you so much. I really struggle with this exact thing. I never know what sounds to teach. Sorry I've left comments on your other videos about this exact problem.
This is why I have courses for parents to help teach their children- you can check them out here! toddlersread.myshopify.com/
My daughter is yr 1 and her phonics screening test is coming in a week and I am stressed. She knows all the primary sounds and the soft sounds too but she doesn't know that while reading she also has to use the soft sound too in some words . We both are struggling 😂😢
This helps a lot. Would I introduce both sounds in the same setting or go over the hard sounds first for a while, then introduce the soft sound?
I’m glad it helps! I like to make sure they’re solid on the hard sounds before introducing the soft sounds.

Superb listening u ,I got for example cook,took, look,hook all have K in end read similar
Love it!
What I haven't figured out yet are -oo- words that end in 'd'. Like food vs good.
how can i purchase your online materials? i need to teach my students who cant read at all..
Is there a video showing which sounds are the hard sounds to teach first for all the letters ?
I taught my daughter the hard sounds, and short vowel sounds. The problem is that some educational shows taught her different sounds, and it confused her! With the next child, I'm going to hold off on those educational shows and just use flashcards, to eliminate confusion.

Hi , teacher how I can get a copy from your booklet..?!
Brilliant
My son Just asked me this yesterday, “mommy, how does g say g?” And I was like ummmmm 🤷♀️😂 thank you so much
What happens when the g is followed by an e but still requires the hard sound as in "Gear"? So hard sound for Gear but soft sound for "Gem"? What would be the rule? Is it that g followed by "e" is the soft sound but when the g is followed by the "ea" sound it makes the hard sound?

Do you have online classes I'm interested please
I have 3! Toddlersread.com/courses
Thank you it's really helpful. But i have one question for hard and soft words 'girl' is hard but 'magic' is soft could u tell me how we identify
There are several exceptions with the soft g... begin to get a girl a gift of a girdle. The Gg is a rascal!
What about the word GET? It's the hard g but E follows
Do you have applications for your phonics methodology
The word thought 💭what’s the best way to teach
That's getting into digraphs (gh, th, sp, kn, wh, etc.).
I'm not a professional, but what I've been doing with my son for now (while finding a good way to formally teach him about them) is just pointing out that those are different cases, tell him the sound, but then let him know that I'll teach him about later lol.

Hi
I don’t love that the first words that came to my mind were exceptions, gild and git, but I still agree with the video
I wonder what their etymological history is?
Hi
What about gift
Akhirnya aku paham
Gem and get….gotta figure out what their rules are lol
There's a lot of exceptions, but generally if g or c comes before e or I they say their soft sound.
I wondered the same thing with “give” and “magic”
Gem gom
So should we have already covered that ‘a’ sounds different in ‘game’ before we cover g sounding different?
Do you mean the /g/ in game or when g makes the /j/ sound?
Don’t even get me started with garage and gigabyte 😂
This is exactly how we train ai.
Show them all the context and let the content creat its own weights and bias
Get figure out
what about..... girl....g followed by i
There are several exceptions with the soft g... begin to get a girl a gift of a girdle. The Gg is a rascal!
eycounvioce sound letter b p😅
get
There are several exceptions with the soft g... begin to get a girl a gift of a girdle. The Gg is a rascal!
Ican, t write how to write
"More of the time"??? 😂
