    British viewers bear in mind that the American accent modifies some sounds in phonics so best use several sources when teaching phonics to littlies. Love the vid ❤

This makes a lot of sense, so thank you for helping ease the stress of grad school.

    This is so good. I am teaching at an elementary school, English as a foreign language in South Korea. I agree with all of this. I am struggling because the public school system is failing many of my students. We are not teaching any phonics but expect them to read. I try my best to do the official curriculum and include my own elements, but its impossible to teach them to read with understanding. Some can read, and those kids are the fortunate ones. Some kids looking at the words as shapes and associating that with the word they learned. The system is unfair to those kids who dont have private lessons. I wish there was a way to teach the students this way, starting from the basics but with a class of 25-30 kids who are all on different levels and the school curriculum, its really challenging.

    I’ve always taught my kids the sounds of the alphabet like I would teach them animals. I introduce them to the name and then show them the sound that it makes. Before reading at a very young age I begin this practice with animals. This is a cow, cow says moo. They get used to the format. So I show them the alphabet in the same way, this is A, A says ae. Once they’re in more of the level 2 stage of reading you show them how and when vowels say their names.

    How about bilingual reading? since English is such a difficult language and it has all of these rules, would you recommend teaching English first and then the next language, or both can be taught but in different days, or both at the same time? I don't want to confuse my child. I am excited and I am thinking about purchasing your program for English, but I would like to know your recommendation.

    • @toddlerscanread
      @toddlerscanread  Рік тому +7

      Hey there- great question. You can honestly do it whichever way you prefer and it's probably more of a parenting decision than a reading one. And if you do want to teach them to read in BOTH languages at once, then I believe that kids are sponges and will learn whatever we teach them. However, most of the families who take my courses choose to focus on teaching READING in one language first (while still SPEAKING both.) Then, they can always use the reading skills they gained with the first language to help them read the next language after.

    i skimmed the comments and no one put a recipe for quiche ... Ingredients:
    For the crust:
    1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
    For the filling:
    1 cup milk
    1 cup heavy cream
    4 large eggs
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
    1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese (or your favorite cheese)
    1 cup diced cooked ham or bacon
    1/2 cup chopped green onions or leeks
    Instructions:
    Prepare the Crust:
    In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
    Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough comes together.
    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
    Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    Roll out the Crust:
    On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Press the dough into the dish and trim any excess.
    Pre-bake the Crust:
    Line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans.
    Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment paper and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden. Set aside.
    Prepare the Filling:
    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
    Assemble the Quiche:
    Sprinkle half of the cheese over the pre-baked crust. Add the diced ham or bacon and chopped green onions or leeks. Top with the remaining cheese.
    Pour the Egg Mixture:
    Pour the egg mixture over the filling in the pie crust.
    Bake:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the quiche is set in the middle and the top is golden brown.
    Cool and Serve:
    Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

    I was praying you were British. The English accent pronounces things differently. English spoken in England sounds distinctively different than the North American accent. I believe there a difference for those in New York compared to those in Texas.
    You channel is appreciated. Thank you.

    Should I teach my kids the vowel sounds first? Then the rest of the letters sounds?

      My main focus is on helping parents teach their little ones, since I think they make the best teachers for their kids :)
