I never leave comments but I have a severely dyslexic child, he is in second grade and we are just now doing CVC words. I tried this method with him and he read the words the first try!!! I'm in shock right now!!! Thank you for sharing this video!!!
Poor kids; English has such a messed up spelling structure. In Spanish, we also have dyslexic kids, but they have a much easier time learning phonics, since we there is basically a one to one relationship between letters and sounds, with only a few exceptions. Spanish has 24 phonemes, while English has 44.
It so the kid can learn and remember it. Its easier to remember how to sound out the word and wright if you had a sigh to remind you how to pronouns it.
Did you see the child's head go down as soon as she made a mistake? When you're working with kids who have brain-based learning disabilities your tone of voice and demeanor should be soft, slow and encouraging! These kids are *extremely* sensitive about their disabilities. No need for the session to be like military training! The poor girl in this video is tense and miserable and obviously can't wait to get it over with. She's also intelligent because she was able to copy the teacher's hand movement after the first try. This video title should be changed to, "What it's *really* like in the classroom for kids with Dyslexia."
The tutor's tone was flat but not disapproving. We don't need to coddle, but I agree with you that we should be aware of how a child feels which is where building rapport with your student first is very important. Just like any relationship, once the child knows you, you can take a flat tone with little or no issue. I worked with children with behavior issues for years in a special education setting. You'd be amazed how quickly they learn you and adapt to your voice and cues. It's the teachers and assistants that took that high-hat tone all the time that the kids learned quickly how to play like a fiddle.
I thought the teacher was fine! She twice asked student to sit up straight. I think the table was too high or the chair too low. Wondered if her feet were dangling. It will make a student tired. Also the repetition is hard work. Also wondered if student was self conscious about being filmed
Good points. I remember being tutored for math and hated it as a kid. Most kids are not excited about spending extra hours learning something they feel they aren't good at. Would you agree? :) I'd be that kid flat out laying her head on the table and moaning for the misery to end. She did a good job. haha
I'm sure this has been done with the best intentions in mind, but just some feedback for the teacher /helper : I perceive boredom and a lack of authenticity in the way you express yourself. Kids can totally feel this and be discouraged by it. They need to feel you genuinely want to do what you're doing. If this is not it, I suggest you find what really lights you up, because I'm sure you're gifted and passionate about something. Perhaps you were just having a bad day... I also feel that this girl would be happier if she was being spoken to at an equal level. I feel there's a subtle but clear attitude of superiority over her, and again, kids can sense this and feel inadequate, which is the opposite of what we want. I feel sorry to see this video, but if course perhaps it's better than no help at all...
Good Lord. Come off it. She did a perfectly fine job even if she wasn't chipper and saccharine. I'm sure we have better things to do than psychoanalyze someone based on a single video, right?
If only the kid would've used her left hand for the /oi/ hand signal she wouldn't have had to put down her pen each and every time!! XD Great job, kid! Generally, this exercise video has SO much repetition (which I'm sure is necessary and beneficial, just noticing my personal threshold as the viewer). I do realize this video is over seven years old.
Not super impressed with this teacher. She seems short an not very personable. It is so important to be the type of person that gets kids to feel at ease during the sessions.
Kari Hofmann maybe not personable - but wow, very effective... ill be the support for my daughter, if I could get a vrilliant and openminded-experienced teacher who can handle her phonics learning for me
Great Video! Apologies for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you tried - Millawdon Future Ticket Trick (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for teaching children to read without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my mate at very last got astronomical success with it.
I normally avoid RUclips comments, but glad I'm not the only one who picked up on the brusqueness of the teacher - I felt like I was watching dog training, and will be sure to not repeat this with my darling learner
100% agree - she's a drill sergeant. I hate this method! Kids need to be engaged, need to find that solution to that first. This kid wants to escape this torture situation and she will probably remember this as torture for the rest of her life.
First, watching the girl read the words at the end was so awesome. Second, good job with consistency. Third, your haters need to stop worrying about your unenthusiastic tone and rightful need for an attentive student and be more worried at the crap job the public education system is doing for kids with dyslexia on the public dime. Thank you for learning how to teach these kiddos. But I guess the lesson learned posting this video is that unless you fart glitter, people think you're an Orwellian troglodyte.
Its making sure they recognize the letter. If a kid recognizes all their letters, move on. Some OG teachers keep doing stuff kids have already mastered and it simply slows the whole thing down. But some need it. Most dyslexics can recognize letters, so its really for edge cases.
hello I am new to teaching dyslexia kids, what if the kid just cant be bother to do anything and just running around the classroom no matter what games and activities we do he just ignored it and say, I want to play with cars? he is 12 years old
Try to include the cars in the game. Copy the letter shapes on large paper and get them to drive his car round the letter/word. Has he been assessed for ASD/AHDH? Add pictures of cars to word cards for reading. Find reading books about cars. Order the alphabet and allow him to drive his car along the alphabet arc and say the letter names.
It's not phonics, it's phonological awareness. And teaching SIGHT words alone doesn't teach phonemic awareness. Children who strictly learn the sight word method fail at decoding words.
Teacher for dyslexic children here. Sight words are what kids get in school anyway. So if a kid is getting identified, they are going to need something else or we wouldn't id them. And, most importantly, phonics is an evidence based teaching method. You are describing whole language, which fails and frustrates children with these issues.
I never leave comments but I have a severely dyslexic child, he is in second grade and we are just now doing CVC words. I tried this method with him and he read the words the first try!!! I'm in shock right now!!! Thank you for sharing this video!!!
I needed to see your comment. This gives me hope for my 2nd grade son!
bear in mind the first person calling, it shold not be "dyslexic child" but it should be ä child with dyslexia"
BTW thanks for the video
Very APA response. ;)
This helped a lot I will use this technique

I agree with you a 100%. Its the same with hindi language in India
Same with Arabic - it's all phonetic
@@haven_from_me english has 75 sounds and not 44.
It so the kid can learn and remember it. Its easier to remember how to sound out the word and wright if you had a sigh to remind you how to pronouns it.
The method might be good, but the teacher was frosty. She was too fast, unfortunately there was not enough warm encouragement.
She kept saying "good job".. And you say she was frosty? I swear you people are so soft
the hand movement makes no sense.
then, watch the video.
terrible voice and attitude -- too cold, too "irritated" of a tone; the child is clearly not liking the teacher's persona.
I like you?
How do you clad a shed wall?

I think it makes sense. I'm going to try this for sure. Kids just get bored easily. It had nothing to do with the teacher. Be nice please.

ikr shiiit. Cuz I dyslexic to and I'm 23. In my head I'm like "bitch". I'm not stupid I get it.

I think the student is bored with the monotony and the "tude" of the teacher.
Mel Vern your really rite😂
100% agree - she's a drill sergeant. I hate this method! Kids need to be engaged, need to find that solution to that first. This kid wants to escape this torture situation and she will probably remember this as torture for the rest of her life.
thank for up video. I have child with posiblily dislexia. He is seven years old. He have problem in the school. Your videos very interesting.Thanks
I see this video very interesting.l have 8 years old and I do not know my child I have dislexia.
This teacher is so incredibly rude and disrespectful to this child.
First, watching the girl read the words at the end was so awesome. Second, good job with consistency.

Thank you for this video. I will most certainly be trying this during the coming week.
Horrible-
What program are working with?
Neuroplasticity asks repetition.
Inspiring!
I love this!
I'm wondering why it's important to say the letter names as well as the sounds??
Its making sure they recognize the letter. If a kid recognizes all their letters, move on. Some OG teachers keep doing stuff kids have already mastered and it simply slows the whole thing down. But some need it. Most dyslexics can recognize letters, so its really for edge cases.

Order the alphabet and allow him to drive his car along the alphabet arc and say the letter names.
Great thanks. Did you teach Don Trump how to say 0I
Mothra Kaiju ew trump supporter
@@mothrakaiju7344I'm sorry Mothra that is a rather unkind thing to say.
Can dyslexic children and adults learn braille?

Teach your kids site words not phonics! As a dyslexic myself I can tell you phonics is bullshit.
It's not phonics, it's phonological awareness. And teaching SIGHT words alone doesn't teach phonemic awareness. Children who strictly learn the sight word method fail at decoding words.
