As a single father who is illiterate ( don’t judge school was never for me I’m a work horse) school is very important to my little boy so this helps so much
Oh it really makes so much sense to make them shorter instead of adding the “a” at the end.. I am starting our journey with my little girls. Thank you so much
Jumped over here from instagram so I could fix the addition of “uh” to the end of my letters. Thank you for this simple content!
You're welcome!
@@toddlerscanread I am a little bit confused. I used to learn L as "le"sound, is it wrong?
Your video is amazing! And yes ...I'm a mother who's English is my second language so a lot of these sounds are different for me....Thanks to your video I can do a better job teaching my kid the alfabet and the phonetics ...thanks a lot
Thank you Spencer! I've been using this video with a student who is new to learning English. She is struggling with shaping her mouth and positioning her tongue to make the right sounds, which makes her feel embarrassed when trying to speak. Practicing the sounds in isolation and modeling her mouth after yours has helped her to feel more confident to say words with those sounds. This has been a great help!
Spencer, this is so incredibly helpful! I am originally from Ecuador and moved to the US when I was 17. I learned to write and read in English back in Ecuador but struggled to speak for the first few years. Fast forward, I have very little accent now. I graduated from college with a BA in Journalism and I am now homeschooling my 5-year-old. I have definitely mispronounced some of these and sometimes I struggle myself. But this video gave me huge confidence! THANK YOU!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi! This was super helpful and encouraging. English is not my first language so I struggle with some pronunciations. I have a Master Degree in International Relations and National Security and I'm preparing to homeschool my son. So seeing this is very encouraging!
Great job bro. Keep it up!!
I recently purchased your sound cards! They are a wonderful tool to teach letter sounds to my boys. Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
Where can I get your card to purchase?
How and where to purchase
hello najjae
I purchased your sound cards for Christmas we’ve been wanting them forever. They are worth every penny. Toddler loves them and actually followed along with you in this video. 😊
So glad you like them and thank you for sharing!
Where can we order the flash cards and can they be couriered to south Africa?
Thank you so much Spencer! I’ve definitely mispronounced a few of the letter sounds. This is so helpful.
You're welcome- glad it's helpful!
I have been sharing this video everywhere! Thank you for providing such a great resource.
Thanks for sharing!
I needed this.
You should have more subscribers! I love your videos! I have 3yo daughter, she loves books, and im starting to teacher her now how to read. And you are right, they should know the sounds of the letters first. Thanks!
I agree 100%
tks a lot , this is so helpul.
Great point about prolonging some letters and adding the a... like Ba instead of B. Thanks. I'm teaching my 18 month old letter sounds. Thanks
amazing! thank you for sharing this with us keep it up 👆 👆
Thank u for all of urs videos
I just got your beautiful truck cards. Super nice art and quality. I can’t believe you were actually able to find different truck names starting with each letter. So clever!
Can’t wait to start with my 2y/o on Monday. I’m so excited about this beautiful experience based in play and learning, It will be fun!
I’m glad you like them!
Very helpful! I’m using your videos to teach my bf whos learning to speak english

Hope this helps 😊 youtube.com/@TeacherSAMI_ESLteacher?feature=shared
I found your channel today. Wonderful content!
We speak three different languages at home- my 4 y/o is fluent in all of them. Do you have any recommendations as far as teaching them to read and write in different languages? Should I do one at a time or all together?
This is so simple and helpful. I was unknowingly adding “uh” to a couple of the letters! Also, my kid loves the cards!
came across 1 of your youtube shorts and checked your page got to say i am grateful for your content..
Me class is very saet
Thank you so much
i was confusing my guy by mis-prouncing some sounds, You are a god-sent!

My daughter and I really enjoy your calmness and the lack of background music. Thank you so much! Can you please link your 30 sec quick version here?
Actually, I'm gonna try to use your method to teach my son in español, obviously with the Spanish sounds. I'm excited to try!!! Thank you
Thanks so much
Thank u ❤
Love your channel and learning so much!
Any tips for bilingual families with an heritage language (italian) that has different letter sounds? From my research I know it's usually advised we focus on our heritage language at home as the little one will pick up english from childcare and environment, but I am unsure on what to do as some Italian sounds are different (eg. C like in CIAO isn't C like in CAT, that sound for us would be created by CH) and there's only 21 letters too. But then iialian is way easier to read as 99% of words are read exactly as written, so I wonder if better to focus on english sounds and phonics as reading Italian will come once she can recognise each letter?! Any tips/advice is much appreciated; really thinking to go down the homeschooling route so I want to learn and start in the best way! Planning to start testing your free tips then getting the course :)
For contest, the little one is now 21mo, she started speaking all english words so far and she's been recognising 7-8 letters by herself since around 17-18mo but associating them to words (so she'll point at M and say MAMMA or O and touch her eye, in Italian OCCHIO).
I can only assume this comes from reading books out load while pointing at words and some exposure at the childminder as the other 3 kids are 6mo-1.5y older as I did no letter introduction/teaching so far.
Thanks!
Many families apply the same concepts to multiple languages, however I’m not bilingual myself so I don’t give specific recommendations. I’d recommend starting with my free training and seeing what you think! www.toddlersread.com/free-workshop
@@toddlerscanread Thanks, I've registered for the free workshop earlier and browsing your courses! Do you know of any trustworthy page or resources for bilingual learning?
I'm 17 years old I'm dyslexic and I have a learning problem in this really helps me thank you so Much
Good lcuk my dsyelixc ltilte fiernd

Thank you!!! I'm about to buy your cards for my son!!
You're welcome! That's awesome, let me know how he likes them!
how are you
What you
What your name
Thanks you so much sair
Great job on all those sounds. I do disagree with how the sound to Q is taught though. Most people teach the Q sound as KW. But just something to think about.... words like SUAVE, SUEDE, CUERVO, GUAVA, GUAR, etc etc, the U is making the W sound just as it does with Q, not the S or the C or the G. It's the U making the W sound with all these words. For the sound to Q, it's just K. And sometimes the U is silent and you're just left with only the K sound, as in LIQUOR, MOSQUE, TORQUE, etc etc. Q is just K.
Well those are bigger words for them to learn. This is just a foundation of how they can start pronouncing words.
Thanks for clarifying . This was very helpful
@@hzlkellyexactly, but because of what she said…k is the foundational sound qu (qw) is bigger
English is complicated because there’s a lot of borrowed words from other languages. In English the most common “q” sounding words have kw sound because there’s usually a u following the q; queen, quick, etc. The second sound is the “k” sound, which is used in words borrowed from other languages.
In English “u” has 4 sounds, none being w.
Most of your examples are borrowed words from other languages and/or are not actual English words (Cuervo is a Spanish word and not in the English dictionary, suede stems from French, suave is of Latin origin).
A “u” in Latin origin words had two phonetic sounds: a vowel sound close to our English u, and a semi-consonantal value that sounded more like our w.
I getcha! But English is full of words from other languages. Doesn't change the fact that the U is making the W sound. @@danielle..
Good video bro !
I found your video very helpful. Thank you for sharing it. I'm curious if there's an easy way to pronounce words ending in -ts, like 'knits.
Hello Spencer! I was hoping you could give me some advice on what to teach after I've introduced all 26 letter sounds. (Either I introduce the remaining sounds or I immediately move into simple blending from these letters).
Blending would be a good next step! I have more info here in my free training- www.toddlersread.com/free-workshop?
Hello what up
Where do you recommend getting a set of cards like you used?
Thank you sir
I can read 📖
Hello
Are there any tips for helping your child when they are getting similar sounds mixed up? My son (almost 4 yrs) has trouble remembering D, which is very similar to T
Good jobs
Thank you so much!!! This seems incredibly simple but it's confusing because these letters can have different sounds at times. And I feel like I'm not sure which one to teach.
These are the first sounds we usually want our children to learn for the letters. Yes, they do represent other sounds too, but we need to teach the code of English gradually. These sounds are used to make VC words (am at it in on up etc) and CVC words (run, sat, pin, dog etc) which are ideally the first words our children can read by learning to blend the sounds together.
Hi Spencer. Love your videos. Would you be selling the sound cards outside of USA too. Maybe sell them as digital images?
I do ship outside the US!
Thumps up man your'e good.👏👏👌👍
Will definitely be watching with me little one
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 I love this 😍💞😢😊😮 I'm sorry Spencer you're a great teacher
I need some advice. My daughter is hearing properly at 5 years old. Tube surgery. What can I do at home to help her catch up in her sounds
❤
Do you have a video for pronouncing consonant blends without adding the schwa? Like bl = /b/ /l/ instead of "bluh"?
Hi there, I’m new to your channel. So… my 3yr old loves the alphabet song and we sing it out by pointing at the letters. How do I teach these pronunciations then? Would he be confused?
Thank you so much for this I was working in the dark
New subscriber here Please add more content.
Nice
Bro you're like the only man on the entire internet that encourages reading. It's all women. Congrats to you bro
Can you please also tell us how to pronounce the names of the animals that are at the back of the cards (my husband english native speaker does not know few of them, i am struggling as well). Thank you
Where can I find the 30-second version? I searched for it on Instagram but couldn't find it. Is the 7-minute version of the training course free, and if yes, can you provide the link?😊
I have a few different short versions on IG and Tiktok. My Learning Sounds course can be found here: toddlersread.myshopify.com
This is how South African children are taught to read in daycares and primary(grade)schools..
youre verry handsome bro ❤❤❤❤ happy new year
To learn the actual alphabets or the sounds first for a 2-3 year old toddler?

The problem is, why people say letter A HAVE 2 sounds, but how use this 2 sounds, in which occasion
I always have to confusions with how to teach my child when vowels have different pronunciation. Example umbrella and unicorn.
The letters sound so different than in my language! I can't get over the vowels! How can those be the sounds?!
Some letters have two sounds such as: a, c, e, i, o, u that have a long and short sound. G also has the “j” sound. And c also has the “s” sound. So how do you teach those sounds?
❤🎉😊 hi 😌🤗
CdDt🏜️
My almost 4yr old really struggles with the "J" sound, he keeps sticking his tongue through his teeth creating a more "z" or "th" sound instead. Can I help him better pronounce it or is this something he'll get with time?
I’m really new with this, can someone explain to me is it right that letter c and k have same sound?
In other words, don't tack a schwa in the end.
❤abc Sounds Have you spent?
🎉
can you make short video for alphabet that have similar pronounce like A,E,O,U..i repeat a few times but loss😅
Jaydelyn
🎉
Is it wrong to add Uhh in the end of the sound
Or not
😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤adc
But each vowel sound has many diffrent sounds the (i) letter can be sound as /ai/ too
Yes these are the 26 basic single letter sounds. Things like long vowels or soft consonants or digraphs or blends would be a different video.
What about letter names?
Hi
How is this suppose to help them when you are flying through the letters
Why I'm laugh... Opps
my sons speech therapist told us that the l sound is made with the tongue behind the teeth and now i have to retrain myself to say it that way.
I can not hear a couple of sounds for example the W
This but the southern version pls 😅
Why in the alphabet why the letters pronounce different?
I'm a dad I was recently fired and am trying to help my 4yr old read while I'm home my wife was "doing homeschool" but I found that she wasn't really and I'm so lost if anyone can help me
Sorry to hear about that, I do have a free training that might help! www.toddlersread.com/free-workshop
