One (of many) things that sets this apart from other videos like this is actually seeing HOW he interacts with the student in real time. I appreciate it so much because I think successfully engaging the kiddo is the hardest part!
Thank you! I really appreciated this real life lesson. My girl is four-years old, and is easy for her to blend two sounds, but gets overwhelmed when I try with more sounds. I'll definetly try this tools with her.
I am so glad you created these live lesson videos! I am in a similar situation with my 3yo so these are some great tools. It's great to see you address some of the challenges in real time
Hello! Thank you a lot for your videos. I have not any children but I watch your videos because I'm not native speaker of English and I think it can helps to improve my pronunciation and reading skills and listening skills too (it's complex). I think your method could be very helpful for foreigner (adult) students too. BTW: Have you ever thought about videos for foreigner students?
Let him know/ST/ is a consonant cluster. Teach him what clusters are. When he understands it, it will help his BLENDING pronunciation of words with CLUSTERS. E.g. BL, blow, blood, etc. FL, flow, flat, etc. STR, street, stray, etc
Hi, I am currently teaching my child to blend and am looking for some pointers. Is there a specific reason for leaving out the ck for the /k/ sound in the words? Like in the word stuck you spelled it stuk, in the word stick you spelled it stik, and in the word stock you spelled it stok.
Hey there- yes because he's just learning how to blend words and I want to keep it as easy as possible. The skill we're learning here is blending- NOT spelling- so I want him to see 4 things (s-t-i-k) and combine them together. I wouldn't add a fifth thing (c-k) unless he was nailing this.
I’m teaching Asian students that have zero knowledge on English at all. They have now mastered letter sounds. Blending is slightly hard for some kids, especially kids that missed mastering letter sounds. As a teacher I’m pressured to produce results and majority of my kids can do blending, but I’m so worried about those left behind. (I have class of about 25 kids) We use Oxford Phonics level 2 books for the much older kids. I will add that I’m made to focus on ONLY the words in the book but I don’t think that’s how it should be especially for beginners. They know how to blend the words when I say them out loud like how you’re doing, but sometimes when I write the words down, it’s hard for them to identify and read. Do you have any tips on how I can improve their blending skills or even exercises I can do to make it more fun for them?
Love these real life videos. My child can blend really well but when reading a simple book will sound out every word The c-a-t i-s o-n the r-e-d r-u-g. & doesn’t seem to have gotten to the stage of just reading The cat is on the red rug. Will that just come in time? Shall we focus on re-reading the same books until it’s read without sounding every word out?
Not just time but repeated, good practice. Doing the same book over and over will help to get THAT book faster but not the reading overall. But LOTS of blending of 2 sound words, then 3, then 4 over and over with new words where their brain has to keep practicing the skill will have them doing it more effortlessly and their eyes will start to perceive the word really quickly from left to right. But definitely be patient.
@@toddlerscanread That's really helpful thank you. Will keep practicing individual words rather than focusing on reading books (which is what we had been doing).
My 4 year is in reception. Some words he can recognize but he does nt know how to blend them. He gets confused with pictures if i show him same word with diffrent pictures. I dont know what to do. He will go in year one this September. But he cant write even his name and read book

Highschool teacher here with functionally illiterate students in mainstream classes. The struggle is real. Love your energy.

Good day to you. Your teaching lessons are great! I will use your style of teaching for my slow learners.
Thank you! I really appreciated this real life lesson. My girl is four-years old, and is easy for her to blend two sounds, but gets overwhelmed when I try with more sounds. I'll definetly try this tools with her.
You're welcome! So glad it was helpful; definitely planning on filming more videos like these in the future.

Of course- that real time response is the goal and I'm excited to be sharing more of it.

Great video! Thanks so much. ❤
Great video Spencer!!! 👏👏👏
So when we are teaching them to blend do we use actual words or just random letters? Example UP vs ST
Let him know/ST/ is a consonant cluster.
Teach him what clusters are. When he understands it, it will help his BLENDING pronunciation of words with CLUSTERS. E.g. BL, blow, blood, etc.
FL, flow, flat, etc.
STR, street, stray, etc

Why do you spell stuk instead of stuck?
