My experience with dyslexics is that they’re often the most brilliant among our children but we fail to notice because we want them to follow the traditional way of schooling and learning which stresses us. They’re the creative ones it’s a gift from God but we fail to notice and build their confidence. Pay attention to them from now onwards
I suspect my daughter is ADHD with possibly some form of dyslexia. Last week she managed to get out of school grounds and now I homeschool her (School claimed no responsibility and blamed my 4yr old and her home-Ed ASD 6yr old brother who was in entirely the opposite direction). She still struggles with her shapes and written numbers/letters (Can add/subtract/count well and verbally break sounds down okay, but not the written ones). She has such a brilliant mind, but she really struggles with accessing it or showing it to others. Hopefully home Ed will help give her the flexibility to open that up more. Is worth mentioning though that this video is basically just advertising a set to teach phonics which is done as basic standard in my country and has been for at least 10 years. 😅
OK this comment made my day eveb though its 7 months old. I so appreciate it. 😢 ❤ I have been feeling so defeated for my 8 year old daughter not knowing how to read still. Did you find it useful or any advice on what did work?
My son was homeschool for kindergarten and first grade I knew something was wrong. He is so gifted in Lego/ paint /and anything he can use his hands. He amazing to me and yet can not read or remember math and spelling is only@ 12% and now in 3rd grade at the end of the year. I have other men in my family that is the same. Thank you for this information and knowledge that I can help my son...
Your a heaven sent 🙏I've tried everything with my son invested so much of money in him which I dont care about because I want him to start reading seeing he is already 6 and isnt ketching on . I just ordered the book from amazon after watching this and will come back with a review. Does anyone know of a good program for the math please share , thanks🙏
@@fabiolabrown9944 that makes me so happy. I was especially happy to see that it’s finally available on Amazon, but when I looked it up I couldn’t find it. Are you sure it’s the same book? I would hate for you to buy yet another thing that might not work.
This is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this program! I can’t say if he’s dyslexic or not but my 6 year old is struggling with reading and I really believe this will help him. I got the free download of the book from their site and printed it out! I watched the first video yesterday and I’m so amazed and really excited to start this with him!
My 6 year old is doing this. We did journey 1 and half of journey 2 last year and the rest this year. He reads big words for his age, reads books ones his own that some older kids struggle with. This is an AMAZING product
My second child has a form of dyslexia, and it really does throw everything upside-down as you take the time to figure out what to do next. Thank you for sharing this program!
That’s so true! I’ve had a few things that have really derailed us for a minute, but this is one of the bigger ones. Have you found any other resources to help with dyslexia?
@@homeschoolgroundzero8300, not much other than expensive programs that are out of our budget and advice from other homeschool moms online, so I'm looking forward to finding the time to sit down and explore the program you suggested. He can read music notes and numbers incredibly well, so fortunately it's just reading and writing that have slowed him down. I did need to adjust my curriculum from a Classical approach to a relaxed Charlotte Mason approach. This helped immensely for his learning overall. He gave a talk in Primary yesterday and I thought he did really well, even if I did have to be up there with my finger under each word so he could maintain his focus.
@@afaith-filledhome6113 That’s a huge win! I never thought about it, but my daughter can also read music notes without any trouble. She does have a hard time with numbers and I haven’t found any tricks to overcome that, yet. I did hear that putting a transparent colored piece of plastic over the page helps the brain see the letters better. We’ve also done some cross body motions (like reaching the right hand to the left shoulder) which help, but she hates. It’s work, but we are making progress, and I do really love this program. I forgot to mention that she has them read little stories and illustrate them so they not only have to actually read the words, but they feel ownership of the story by the end. It’s pretty cool.
I'm glad i found your channel through your husband's channel. I have a 10 year old with dyslexia amongst other learning disabilities. I just order this book. She is so smart but the public school system is failing her. I wish i could homeschool her but i found a little homeschooling group that i will be sending her to next year.
I wish this had been around when my eldest was learning to read. She was diagnosed with severe dyslexia at the age of 7. She is nearly 17 now. My youngest is also is struggling with reading. He doesn't have the traits of dyslexia but i am going to try this with him as maybe it is the key we are looking for.
This was made for dyslexic learners, but I think it would probably work for any child who is struggling to understand letter sounds and our crazy English language. I wish you the best of luck!
Thank you so much! I am teaching a young 9 year old girl English as a foreign language and almost immediately I knew I would not be able to teach her in the conventional way. I believe she may be dyslexic and perhaps also have ADD. I am excited to check this program out! Thanks again very much, because no one I know can help me!
to be fair waiting until you are ready worked for me. i dropped out of 8th grade and went on a reading binge and went from a beginning reader to the Robert Jordon's "Wheel of Time" in just over a year. My sister is also dyslexic and had a similar but less extreme experience around the same age. Just keep at it and keep the experience positive so that they stay motivated. So glad to see there are more resources.
I printed 3 copies. We are starting as a family and then also on their own. My kids are 6, 9, and 11. My oldest 2 can read but wanted to review and they are excited!! Thank you!!
Wow this is so helpful. Thank you for sharing!!! We are using Barton Reading and Spelling with my dyslexic daughter but I think this would be an amazing supplement for my other 2 kids just learning to read.
Thank you. I have one more who is learning to read and I don’t think we’re going to use this program for him. It’s too repetitious for him, but it worked for exactly that reason for my dyslexic child. Keep up the great work!
Wow. This is the resource I’ve been looking for! My daughter has really struggled with learning to read and I think this could be very helpful. Going to do this with her!
Thank you so much I know God send me to watch your video . my 2 girls are struggling reading 😢and the aways be crying because the don’t know how to read
The struggle is real. I think helping my dyslexic child know she’s really smart was almost as big a part of learning to read as learning her letters and sounds. I hope this works well with you guys.
I'm willing to try anything at this point. I love that this is free online. Gonna download this and print it off tomorrow! My boy is 8 and struggling. Thinks he hates reading!!!! 😭
I hear you, it can be really frustrating trying to find something that works. We just did it about 10 minutes a day so she didn’t get too frustrated and worked our way through. I hope you and your son have a great experience with this! Also, lots and lots of reading stories to my daughter until she gained the skill of reading was super important so she wanted to read.
You are adorable!!! I love your passion for reading but more importantly, caring more about not labeling children and then leaving them to face education and all its nonsense ill-equipped! Hugs 🙃b
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've downloaded the book because I can't buy it on amazon (out of stock) and will start teaching my grandaughter as soon as I get it printed! oh and did I say THANK YOU!
@@homeschoolgroundzero8300 what is the best way to teach her 'S . For some reason her brain explodes when it comes to 'S'...she just can't grasp it and I'm not sure the best way to teach her.
If I’m understanding, you’re saying she can’t remember the sound the “S” makes. Try giving the S a tongue and a tail, turning it into a snake. Then let your granddaughter “hiss” as she traces the snake. Or you can put some salt in a cookie sheet and have her trace the S in the salt with her finger while saying S-S-S-Salt.
Oh, that’s quite normal. Kids often write a lot of letters and numbers backwards for quite a while. The number five and letter S can be quite tricky. I don’t worry about it too much. As they get older, they just naturally flip them around and figure it out on their own with practice.
It’s finally available on Amazon! Here’s the link: www.amazon.com/Treasure-Hunt-Reading-Explorers-Literacy/dp/B0C9GFZ2FR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=GF3QKU5DJ34S&keywords=treasure+hunt+reading+for+dyslexia&qid=1688209950&sprefix=Treasure+hunt+teading%2Caps%2C127&sr=8-1

Thank you for this video. I have a 10 year old that I just pulled out of school and am starting homeschooling. I want to work in remedial but I’m hoping that this feels age appropriate for them.
The best thing I can suggest is to let your child watch a few videos. If they don’t feel talked down to, this program will work perfectly for them. Even if they do feel like it’s too young for them, I think it would be worth the effort to help them laugh that off and still learn from the lessons because I just haven’t found anything else that works this well to teach the basics of reading. Best of luck!
Wow! This is so helpful!!!! I’m pulling my son out of a public school and homeschooling him. He suffers from dyslexia and is on the spectrum for autism. He’s very smart and is so far behind on reading. He’s currently in 4th grade but reads at a level 2. While I’m pulling him out for different reasons (more than 3!)…one is those is I feel he’s falling thru the cracks. I’m terrified but I feel I can help guide him further. I’m soaking up as much info so please keep posting! Thank you so so much!!!!
You are a very good parent because you’re aware of his needs and taking steps to meet them. I’m so sorry he is falling through the cracks, that’s very disheartening. Special needs take a lot of effort and constant learning, but parents are so dedicated to finding a solution, it will definitely work out. You’ve got this.
Please don’t be stressed I’ve noticed the dyslexic children are the most brilliant it’s a gift from God but we fail to notice because traditional education wants them to be so. They delay in reading because they’re taking time to develop other creative parts of the brain. Pay attention to them and you would testify to that. Forget about the traditional schooling
@DVC050311 I am also home schooling and I want to encourage you because although it may be difficult it is the right decision. I actually went with the All About Reading and All About Spelling curriculum. I downloaded this as extra information and it has a couple of things I can incorporate but don't be afraid to invest in curriculum too. And while it's good it still isn't as good as the one I bought and it wouldn't be enough for my little learner
I'm 17 and interested in education, found out a year ago I was possibly dislexic but it was told to me slightly vividly. But, all my life I did feel slightly out of place despite always trying my best, and I wish my mom was more opened to do something less traditional, but with my family's background and morals its hard to do that. And basically, I look forward to improve the education system, so that students don't struggle much as some do now with this old system.
That is a very worthy goal. I’m sure that even though you didn’t have exactly the education you wanted, your experience will prepare you to help others in a similar situation. Being dyslexic can be challenging, but it also means you are good at a lot of things others find difficult. You probably understand how things fit together and how to make things beautiful. You may be able to hear nuances in music or pick up on people’s moods based on audio cues. Many things that may seem normal to you probably come as a result of having dyslexia. I hope you are able to achieve your dreams and improve the education system.
Vmuz3516 I’m so sorry, I know how overwhelming and even life changing that news is. Crying is the perfect way to process your new reality. But here’s the truth: this program took my child and many other children from a frustrating place of hopelessness to a powerful ability to decode words. If this program doesn’t work for you, there are others out there. Many many people have dyslexia and are working to provide tools to teach in a way that makes sense to the dyslexic brain. There is a solution and both you and your child are going to feel so much better when things start making sense. You’re doing an important job, even when it’s hard. Keep it up, you’re awesome!
Love your enthusiasm ❤ Be careful when making the sound of (y) and other sounds not to add the extra (uh) sound to end- it can cause a lot of confusion when first decoding words and pronouncing the letters with the extra (uh) sound
I am fairly confident my son is dyslexic and would love this resource! Is this something that would be available in Australia? Thank you for sharing. God bless you.
I’m pretty sure my son is dyslexic. He’s super creative but I’ve never paid attention to the spacing part of it. I don’t know if he is. Some things that kind of have me thinking he is are: He confused letters b and d He flips words around so was and saw When reading he’ll make a “st” sound for ts in the end of a word The most interesting thing today was he “wrote” on a wall today with a Mr clean magic eraser his name like you would see it in a mirror. He wrote it so fast and when I asked if he meant to do that he said no. So it was like he was trying to write his name but accidentally wrote the letters backwards and flipped.
This is how I taught my non-dyslexic kids. I talk about where to jump in if you use this program. ruclips.net/video/CqelxBCTBWM/видео.htmlsi=AsHJNDow0S5I2vlU

I contacted them by email and you are right, they are not currently offering to print it. However, they are working on making it available on Amazon and they hope to have that option soon. Until then, they are still offering it as a free PDF that can be printed locally. I hope that helps!
Ashley I think it would not be ideal for that because the videos are all directed to young kids and a young adult might find that condescending. However, I haven’t found anything that works for older kids, so if your daughter is willing to roll her eyes a bit and just learn from it maybe it would help. I would love to hear if it does because this question comes up quite often. Good luck!
I just found out my son might have yslexia because he cannot decode? Im surprised he really likes to read. But its his writting and reading where sometimes he has trouble. And my son also has trouble listen to himself with sounding out words. And its his bday today and his 9 and thankful his gping to four and not doing summer school. Because his really good at math.
This program is excellent at teaching how to decode words. My dyslexic child is much better at decoding than any of my other kids, because I never took the time to teach them that skill. That is awesome that he’s good at math. I don’t know if it’s typical for dyslexic kids to love math, but my dyslexic child really enjoys it as well.
Thank you for this video! I too have homeschooled 4 and my 5th is struggling. Has anyone found a place to get this printed reasonably? One place told me 194.00 😮
Its disconcerting when things that worked before don’t work anymore. I hope you find a cheaper option because that’s crazy expensive! I’m still waiting for them to offer it on Amazon, hopefully soon.

Hello, I’m teaching a slower learner took year and half to learn letters and sounds. I was not taught in public school phonics so not sure all the rules, how to teach blending etc. would this be a good program to use with my son? I need videos that explain how to blend letters together and all the other different rules etc. I’ve been looking at some online programs that do the teaching but also came across this. :)

Once your daughter finished this book, what did you do next? Was she able to start a different curriculum successfully? I’m right at the beginning of this journey, as we are two weeks into kindergarten and I’m realizing my daughter is probably dyslexic. I already knew she was a completely different learner than my other daughter with ADHD, but I was at a complete loss on what to do until I saw this video, so thank you!
That’s a great question. So, what I did was basically pick up with what I did for the other kids after they mastered their letters and sounds. Short books on their own, then we took turns reading sentences, then paragraphs and then pages from little kid books like Arthur and Curious George. If you want the details, I actually made a video on it here: ruclips.net/video/CqelxBCTBWM/видео.htmlsi=2e1Ip8_q15pZTuaA
sumSum5853 it is targeted to a younger audience, maybe 5-8 years old. But the only part that would be too “young” for him is the videos. So have him watch a few and if it’s not a problem I’d say you’re good to go.
Hi this programme sounds great, but can you recommend any programmes for other subjects please? I've finally got my daughter reading (she's 10 now, not diagnosed but pretty sure she is dyslexic) however any other subjects like writing and maths are pretty much impossible!! Any suggestions would be amazing. Thanks so much 🙏 💓!!
Writing is hard for several of my kids. The best thing I’ve found so far is using The Good and The Beautiful writing books (or any other writing book) and reading a story to them while they write. This takes the misery out of working at writing. They just plug along while listening to a story. Or maybe put on one of the Standin Tall stories while they write; they are all on RUclips. As far as math goes, each kid is really different. I find that Math U See is really effective for most kids through multiplication. I’m hoping to make a video talking about all the math programs we have used and the pros and cons of each, but Math U See is a pretty good bet. I wish you the very best!
I don’t know. He thinks reading must be hard because he’s watching his sister work so hard at it, but I think he’ll fly through it once he decides he wants to.
@@homeschoolgroundzero8300 I printed the first section and it’s great! Thank you so much for sharing. I can see a difference already and it’s also helping me a lot to know how to help! 💜
Oh, I know that feeling. It’s terrible. But I promise you haven’t failed him. It’s crazy how much pressure we feel to accomplish things by a certain age. Nobody asks how old you were when you first walked, or swam, or started eating solids. Once we learn things we just zip forward and everything is great. Same thing with reading. The age is not really important. Once he has it, the world is his oyster, whatever age that happens at. You’re doing great, seriously.
I have a son of almost 6 he has adhd and asd and spd. The school have said they are sure he is dyslexic and will screen him in summer term 2025. We have done a screening and he flags up as highly. He gets so so angry if i try and get him to spund at words at home.he finds it difficult to sound out 3 letter words and put them back together. He just blurts out any words rather than trying. He says i hate learning.i get his frustration as he cant concerntrate for long. Any ideas ?
I’m sorry, that must be so frustrating. If it were me, I’d pull back on reading entirely for a while. If he hates learning, no super duper program will fix that. But if he can succeed in other areas, like sports, math, music, art, being cheerful, being obedient, etc., then he will learn that he is smart. Give it some time to sink in so he can learn to love learning. THEN, I would implement a simple program like this that gives him some easy wins right off the bat. You have to fight the discouragement battle before you can fight the reading battle. You’ve got this.

My son being 11 and. The First grade reading level is so hard. I'm wondering if this is too young for my kids. No Dr's or anyone brought this up until I started really thinking why he's not catching up.
I’m sorry, that’s so hard. I don’t know if your 11 year old would think it’s too young for them, but just let him watch a few videos. They’re online and free. If he’s good with them, the program should work fine.
I wish I had better news, but I don’t think this would be good for her. It teaches letter’s sounds and letter combinations, but it’s super basic. I think she might feel like it’s talking down to her.
I suspect that my oldest may be dyslexic but my youngest is kind of following along and learning as we go as well. Would you say that this curriculum will work for non dyslexic children as well?
My child who is just younger than my dyslexic child found it way too repetitive and boring. But other than that, the skills and knowledge it teaches apply to all readers.
What do you use after you complete this program? Thats the part that is holding me off…. I dont want my child to have gaps by switching to another program
Stay tuned, I’m about to make a video on how I teach my kids to read and it’s the next step after this program. In a nutshell, no specific program is needed. I used the same, simple tools with my dyslexic child after this program that I did with my kids without a reading challenge and it worked beautifully.
What do you mean your daughter knew where she belongs spaciously? Could you explain on that further? I’ve never addressed this with my children (homeschooler who was homeschooled) and maybe I need to address it
Emiline, it’s common for dyslexic kids to have strengths in other areas such as artistic skills and spatial awareness. It usually displays by them having good balance or being good in the water. With other kids they are good at taking things apart and knowing how to put them back together, or being able to make 3d puzzles. If you want to know more about different strengths your kids might have, check out ruclips.net/video/Vn4czhmKD9o/видео.html

This is the link for the videos treasurehunt.prenda.co Click on the button “For Helpful Adults” and it will send you to a page where you can print the workbook. I hope you have a great experience with it. My daughter has now finished the program and can open any book and read it. I have loved how this has opened the world for her.
How old was your daughter when you noticed she was having hard time with memorizing letters? I have a brilliant 5 year old who is very intelligent, but can’t memorize symbols. So I was wondering if he has learning disabilities or just still were young?
I think she was 5 when she first started showing interest in reading. By six I knew we had something different than her brothers experienced. Every child is different; there’s no magic age to learn reading. But usually their curiosity is the marker that they are ready to begin learning. It was the disconnect between her desire and ability that raised red flags for me.
The best information I have on that is listed in the description. When I contacted them they said they’re trying to make it available on Amazon, but I don’t know if they have, yet.
I’m not an expert on all of the different types of dyslexia, but I think this book probably works for all of them. I have also found that doing crossover exercises (where we reach the right hand over to the left shoulder or down to the left foot and vice versa) are really effective in helping my dyslexic child be able to read. I’m not sure if that is specific to auditory dyslexia or not, but it is a cool little trick to have in your pocket.
Maaaaybe. The ideas apply to all ages, but the videos are geared to younger kids. Still, 10 year olds might be okay with it. I would suggest looking at the videos first. If they’ll work for your child I’d say you’re good to go.
It takes a lot of strength to hold onto pencils at that age. I would advise making sure your child has plenty of time to play outside, climb, bounce balls etc.
My experience with dyslexics is that they’re often the most brilliant among our children but we fail to notice because we want them to follow the traditional way of schooling and learning which stresses us. They’re the creative ones it’s a gift from God but we fail to notice and build their confidence. Pay attention to them from now onwards
Agreed. There’s a lot of untapped potential there.
I suspect my daughter is ADHD with possibly some form of dyslexia. Last week she managed to get out of school grounds and now I homeschool her (School claimed no responsibility and blamed my 4yr old and her home-Ed ASD 6yr old brother who was in entirely the opposite direction). She still struggles with her shapes and written numbers/letters (Can add/subtract/count well and verbally break sounds down okay, but not the written ones). She has such a brilliant mind, but she really struggles with accessing it or showing it to others. Hopefully home Ed will help give her the flexibility to open that up more.
Is worth mentioning though that this video is basically just advertising a set to teach phonics which is done as basic standard in my country and has been for at least 10 years. 😅
Right , same with my sister
Whats the paper quality like? Is it thin typical paper? Or a bit more sturdy etc. Thanks@homeschoolgroundzero8300

She is so smart but the public school system is failing her. I wish i could homeschool her but i found a little homeschooling group that i will be sending her to next year.
That is so great. I hope you have a good experience with it, like we did. I’m glad you’re here.
I wish this had been around when my eldest was learning to read. She was diagnosed with severe dyslexia at the age of 7. She is nearly 17 now. My youngest is also is struggling with reading. He doesn't have the traits of dyslexia but i am going to try this with him as maybe it is the key we are looking for.
This was made for dyslexic learners, but I think it would probably work for any child who is struggling to understand letter sounds and our crazy English language. I wish you the best of luck!
Thank you so much! I am teaching a young 9 year old girl English as a foreign language and almost immediately I knew I would not be able to teach her in the conventional way. I believe she may be dyslexic and perhaps also have ADD. I am excited to check this program out! Thanks again very much, because no one I know can help me!
thank you for this video this program should be made known
I'm super stoked about finding this resource thank you so much
Of course! It really has worked well for us, I hope it will for you, as well.
So generous and amazing to support 😊
to be fair waiting until you are ready worked for me. i dropped out of 8th grade and went on a reading binge and went from a beginning reader to the Robert Jordon's "Wheel of Time" in just over a year. My sister is also dyslexic and had a similar but less extreme experience around the same age. Just keep at it and keep the experience positive so that they stay motivated. So glad to see there are more resources.
Thank you for sharing this as well
Thank you SO MUCH for posting. We are loving Treasure Hunt so much. An answer to prayer for us too!!
I love the feedback! I feel bad getting kudos when I didn’t make the program, but I agree, it is awesome!
I love your story...I experienced it with my foster kids..heart wrenching..
I’m sorry you faced that. It seems like it would be harder with foster kids because you have less time to figure it out.
I printed 3 copies. We are starting as a family and then also on their own. My kids are 6, 9, and 11. My oldest 2 can read but wanted to review and they are excited!! Thank you!!
Yay! I’m so glad! My youngest is starting to ask if he can have a book for himself. And thus it begins.
Wow this is so helpful. Thank you for sharing!!! We are using Barton Reading and Spelling with my dyslexic daughter but I think this would be an amazing supplement for my other 2 kids just learning to read.
Thank you. I have one more who is learning to read and I don’t think we’re going to use this program for him. It’s too repetitious for him, but it worked for exactly that reason for my dyslexic child. Keep up the great work!
Wow. This is the resource I’ve been looking for! My daughter has really struggled with learning to read and I think this could be very helpful. Going to do this with her!
Yay! I hope it opens doors for your daughter.
how has it helped her?
Thank you so much I know God send me to watch your video . my 2 girls are struggling reading 😢and the aways be crying because the don’t know how to read
The struggle is real. I think helping my dyslexic child know she’s really smart was almost as big a part of learning to read as learning her letters and sounds. I hope this works well with you guys.
Thanks for sharing and giving out a free copy of a book that’s worth the dollars!!!
My pleasure. I didn’t create this program but I’m happy to share it because it helped us so much.
Can I have it?😊
This is amazing! Thank you so much I just bought it! Immediately!
Awesome! I hope it works great for you.
wait whaaaaaa? did I hear you correctly??
5 kiddos
Girllllllllll you look good to have carried those little ones
keep up the good work- in all areas😘
Lol! Six, actually. Thank you for the kind words.
I'm willing to try anything at this point. I love that this is free online. Gonna download this and print it off tomorrow! My boy is 8 and struggling. Thinks he hates reading!!!! 😭
I hear you, it can be really frustrating trying to find something that works. We just did it about 10 minutes a day so she didn’t get too frustrated and worked our way through. I hope you and your son have a great experience with this! Also, lots and lots of reading stories to my daughter until she gained the skill of reading was super important so she wanted to read.
Did you use this? And did it work?
Thanks so much for sharing. I was desperate to find an affordable, effective option.
You are so welcome!
I ordered this. Praying it helps. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful Gem 💎
My pleasure 😊 it’s been a huge blessing in my life.
We’ve thought about using that program before. Thanks for sharing!!
Any time!
I am so excited for this program, to try it out.
You are adorable!!! I love your passion for reading but more importantly, caring more about not labeling children and then leaving them to face education and all its nonsense ill-equipped!
Hugs

Thank you sooo much for sharing this!
I’m glad you liked it. Let me know if there’s any other topic you would like to see.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've downloaded the book because I can't buy it on amazon (out of stock) and will start teaching my grandaughter as soon as I get it printed! oh and did I say THANK YOU!
That is great! I hope it works well for you.
@@homeschoolgroundzero8300 what is the best way to teach her 'S . For some reason her brain explodes when it comes to 'S'...she just can't grasp it and I'm not sure the best way to teach her.
If I’m understanding, you’re saying she can’t remember the sound the “S” makes. Try giving the S a tongue and a tail, turning it into a snake. Then let your granddaughter “hiss” as she traces the snake. Or you can put some salt in a cookie sheet and have her trace the S in the salt with her finger while saying S-S-S-Salt.
No, no she has no problem with the sound, it's writing it she can't grasp.
Oh, that’s quite normal. Kids often write a lot of letters and numbers backwards for quite a while. The number five and letter S can be quite tricky. I don’t worry about it too much. As they get older, they just naturally flip them around and figure it out on their own with practice.
Thank you so much dear for sharing this.. May God bless you! :)
Thank you so much. He absolutely has blessed me through this program and people like you.

Thank you so much ❤😊
Thank you for this video. I have a 10 year old that I just pulled out of school and am starting homeschooling. I want to work in remedial but I’m hoping that this feels age appropriate for them.
The best thing I can suggest is to let your child watch a few videos. If they don’t feel talked down to, this program will work perfectly for them. Even if they do feel like it’s too young for them, I think it would be worth the effort to help them laugh that off and still learn from the lessons because I just haven’t found anything else that works this well to teach the basics of reading. Best of luck!
Wow! This is so helpful!!!! I’m pulling my son out of a public school and homeschooling him. He suffers from dyslexia and is on the spectrum for autism. He’s very smart and is so far behind on reading. He’s currently in 4th grade but reads at a level 2. While I’m pulling him out for different reasons (more than 3!)…one is those is I feel he’s falling thru the cracks. I’m terrified but I feel I can help guide him further. I’m soaking up as much info so please keep posting! Thank you so so much!!!!
You are a very good parent because you’re aware of his needs and taking steps to meet them. I’m so sorry he is falling through the cracks, that’s very disheartening. Special needs take a lot of effort and constant learning, but parents are so dedicated to finding a solution, it will definitely work out. You’ve got this.
My son have dyslexia he in std 1 he can not read good he loves math but the words hard for him to remember . please help me.
He is struggling in school work the teacher is not helping him I think to take him out of school
Please don’t be stressed I’ve noticed the dyslexic children are the most brilliant it’s a gift from God but we fail to notice because traditional education wants them to be so. They delay in reading because they’re taking time to develop other creative parts of the brain. Pay attention to them and you would testify to that. Forget about the traditional schooling
@DVC050311 I am also home schooling and I want to encourage you because although it may be difficult it is the right decision.
I actually went with the All About Reading and All About Spelling curriculum. I downloaded this as extra information and it has a couple of things I can incorporate but don't be afraid to invest in curriculum too.
And while it's good it still isn't as good as the one I bought and it wouldn't be enough for my little learner
Thanks a lot. We will try it.
Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤ God bless you
Thank you. I didn’t create this program but it really helped us so I hope it is helpful to you as well.
I'm 17 and interested in education, found out a year ago I was possibly dislexic but it was told to me slightly vividly. But, all my life I did feel slightly out of place despite always trying my best, and I wish my mom was more opened to do something less traditional, but with my family's background and morals its hard to do that. And basically, I look forward to improve the education system, so that students don't struggle much as some do now with this old system.
That is a very worthy goal. I’m sure that even though you didn’t have exactly the education you wanted, your experience will prepare you to help others in a similar situation. Being dyslexic can be challenging, but it also means you are good at a lot of things others find difficult. You probably understand how things fit together and how to make things beautiful. You may be able to hear nuances in music or pick up on people’s moods based on audio cues. Many things that may seem normal to you probably come as a result of having dyslexia. I hope you are able to achieve your dreams and improve the education system.
I just feel seen, thank you
I hear you. It can feel very lonely trying to solve these unexpected problems.
Thank you SO much! going to try this
That’s awesome, Kerry. I hope it works well for you.
Thank you for sharing this with us ❤
My pleasure 😊
I am in edge of bawling. I been try to teach my son to teach and today I figure out why he can’t he is dyslexic. And I m hoping this video can help…
Vmuz3516 I’m so sorry, I know how overwhelming and even life changing that news is. Crying is the perfect way to process your new reality. But here’s the truth: this program took my child and many other children from a frustrating place of hopelessness to a powerful ability to decode words. If this program doesn’t work for you, there are others out there. Many many people have dyslexia and are working to provide tools to teach in a way that makes sense to the dyslexic brain. There is a solution and both you and your child are going to feel so much better when things start making sense. You’re doing an important job, even when it’s hard. Keep it up, you’re awesome!
Love your enthusiasm ❤
Be careful when making the sound of (y) and other sounds not to add the extra (uh) sound to end- it can cause a lot of confusion when first decoding words and pronouncing the letters with the extra (uh) sound
Thanks for sharing!
I cant find the link to the printable version of the book. Please share!
Thank you! We just printed the workbook and can’t wait to start our son on this journey!
I’m so excited for you. I hope it’s a great experience.
I am fairly confident my son is dyslexic and would love this resource! Is this something that would be available in Australia? Thank you for sharing. God bless you.
I think so. I don’t actually sell these, so contacting prenda is your best bet. Best of luck!
How do you print?
There’s an option to print on their homepage.
I’m pretty sure my son is dyslexic.
He’s super creative but I’ve never paid attention to the spacing part of it. I don’t know if he is. Some things that kind of have me thinking he is are:
He confused letters b and d
He flips words around so was and saw
When reading he’ll make a “st” sound for ts in the end of a word
The most interesting thing today was he “wrote” on a wall today with a Mr clean magic eraser his name like you would see it in a mirror. He wrote it so fast and when I asked if he meant to do that he said no. So it was like he was trying to write his name but accidentally wrote the letters backwards and flipped.
I just recently found this video ruclips.net/video/ilELQlUBWto/видео.htmlsi=SIldRTjnq4B7iPXC it talks a lot about the things you mentioned.
I just bought this. Thanks for sharing about it. What did you use after this?
This is how I taught my non-dyslexic kids. I talk about where to jump in if you use this program. ruclips.net/video/CqelxBCTBWM/видео.htmlsi=AsHJNDow0S5I2vlU

Thank you for the video. Is it possible that this could be effective for my 16 year old daughter who is in 11th grade?
Ashley I think it would not be ideal for that because the videos are all directed to young kids and a young adult might find that condescending. However, I haven’t found anything that works for older kids, so if your daughter is willing to roll her eyes a bit and just learn from it maybe it would help. I would love to hear if it does because this question comes up quite often. Good luck!
Yes! I would love to know if you tried it with your 16 yr old?
I just found out my son might have yslexia because he cannot decode? Im surprised he really likes to read. But its his writting and reading where sometimes he has trouble. And my son also has trouble listen to himself with sounding out words. And its his bday today and his 9 and thankful his gping to four and not doing summer school. Because his really good at math.
This program is excellent at teaching how to decode words. My dyslexic child is much better at decoding than any of my other kids, because I never took the time to teach them that skill. That is awesome that he’s good at math. I don’t know if it’s typical for dyslexic kids to love math, but my dyslexic child really enjoys it as well.
Thank you for this video! I too have homeschooled 4 and my 5th is struggling.
Has anyone found a place to get this printed reasonably? One place told me 194.00 😮
Its disconcerting when things that worked before don’t work anymore. I hope you find a cheaper option because that’s crazy expensive! I’m still waiting for them to offer it on Amazon, hopefully soon.

Hello, I’m teaching a slower learner took year and half to learn letters and sounds. I was not taught in public school phonics so not sure all the rules, how to teach blending etc. would this be a good program to use with my son? I need videos that explain how to blend letters together and all the other different rules etc. I’ve been looking at some online programs that do the teaching but also came across this. :)
Yes! This program goes over not only blending, but all the special sounds and funky rules that decide how we pronounce words.
Great post! How do you have this printed and delivered to you?

Once your daughter finished this book, what did you do next? Was she able to start a different curriculum successfully? I’m right at the beginning of this journey, as we are two weeks into kindergarten and I’m realizing my daughter is probably dyslexic. I already knew she was a completely different learner than my other daughter with ADHD, but I was at a complete loss on what to do until I saw this video, so thank you!
That’s a great question. So, what I did was basically pick up with what I did for the other kids after they mastered their letters and sounds. Short books on their own, then we took turns reading sentences, then paragraphs and then pages from little kid books like Arthur and Curious George. If you want the details, I actually made a video on it here: ruclips.net/video/CqelxBCTBWM/видео.htmlsi=2e1Ip8_q15pZTuaA
@@homeschoolgroundzero8300thank you so much for your reply! I’ll check out your other video.😊
what age is this for? my 11yo son is dyslexic and this seems a bit young, even though he is about a 2nd gr reading level
sumSum5853 it is targeted to a younger audience, maybe 5-8 years old. But the only part that would be too “young” for him is the videos. So have him watch a few and if it’s not a problem I’d say you’re good to go.
Same situation. Did you try it out?
Same situation
Hi this programme sounds great, but can you recommend any programmes for other subjects please? I've finally got my daughter reading (she's 10 now, not diagnosed but pretty sure she is dyslexic) however any other subjects like writing and maths are pretty much impossible!! Any suggestions would be amazing. Thanks so much 🙏 💓!!
Writing is hard for several of my kids. The best thing I’ve found so far is using The Good and The Beautiful writing books (or any other writing book) and reading a story to them while they write. This takes the misery out of working at writing. They just plug along while listening to a story. Or maybe put on one of the Standin Tall stories while they write; they are all on RUclips.
As far as math goes, each kid is really different. I find that Math U See is really effective for most kids through multiplication. I’m hoping to make a video talking about all the math programs we have used and the pros and cons of each, but Math U See is a pretty good bet. I wish you the very best!
@@homeschoolgroundzero8300 thanks so much for your help!!!💗
Finally watched this video-the program looks really good! Will you use it with your younger son when he is learning to read?
I don’t know. He thinks reading must be hard because he’s watching his sister work so hard at it, but I think he’ll fly through it once he decides he wants to.
Is it possible to just print the first 89 pages and start or do you need pages in the back in section one as well?
I think so. The back has a lot of games and additional activities to help it all sink in. We didn’t end up using that part very much at all.
@@homeschoolgroundzero8300 I printed the first section and it’s great! Thank you so much for sharing. I can see a difference already and it’s also helping me a lot to know how to help! 💜
@@olivesaviary4757 Yes! Now I can explain why words are pronounced the way they are.
I cried too. I failed to catch it earlier. He's 8. And we have to start over. Feels like I've failed him.
Oh, I know that feeling. It’s terrible. But I promise you haven’t failed him. It’s crazy how much pressure we feel to accomplish things by a certain age. Nobody asks how old you were when you first walked, or swam, or started eating solids. Once we learn things we just zip forward and everything is great. Same thing with reading. The age is not really important. Once he has it, the world is his oyster, whatever age that happens at. You’re doing great, seriously.
Hi my name is Lori I want to know how I can get the book please you send me the link
www.amazon.com/Treasure-Hunt-Reading-Explorers-Literacy/dp/B0C9GFZ2FR
Where do I go get the free booklet
I have a son of almost 6 he has adhd and asd and spd.
The school have said they are sure he is dyslexic and will screen him in summer term 2025.
We have done a screening and he flags up as highly.
He gets so so angry if i try and get him to spund at words at home.he finds it difficult to sound out 3 letter words and put them back together.
He just blurts out any words rather than trying.
He says i hate learning.i get his frustration as he cant concerntrate for long.
Any ideas ?
I’m sorry, that must be so frustrating. If it were me, I’d pull back on reading entirely for a while. If he hates learning, no super duper program will fix that. But if he can succeed in other areas, like sports, math, music, art, being cheerful, being obedient, etc., then he will learn that he is smart. Give it some time to sink in so he can learn to love learning. THEN, I would implement a simple program like this that gives him some easy wins right off the bat. You have to fight the discouragement battle before you can fight the reading battle. You’ve got this.
could someone pls share a writing program like this for dysgraphia? (free)
Are the books still available to order? I’m looking at all the links and all I can find is digital copy.

My son being 11 and. The First grade reading level is so hard. I'm wondering if this is too young for my kids. No Dr's or anyone brought this up until I started really thinking why he's not catching up.
I’m sorry, that’s so hard. I don’t know if your 11 year old would think it’s too young for them, but just let him watch a few videos. They’re online and free. If he’s good with them, the program should work fine.
So I have a question please! How well would you suggest this as a tool for a late teen seeking to improve on her reading skills?
I wish I had better news, but I don’t think this would be good for her. It teaches letter’s sounds and letter combinations, but it’s super basic. I think she might feel like it’s talking down to her.
Has anyone used this and have reviews on it? Thanks ❤
I suspect that my oldest may be dyslexic but my youngest is kind of following along and learning as we go as well. Would you say that this curriculum will work for non dyslexic children as well?
My child who is just younger than my dyslexic child found it way too repetitive and boring. But other than that, the skills and knowledge it teaches apply to all readers.
I want this book how i get?
Do you offer any free of charge courses for teachers to be certified in Dyslexia?
This isn’t a program that I created. Prenda made it and they may offer something like that. I would just google Prenda to find out.
What do you use after you complete this program? Thats the part that is holding me off…. I dont want my child to have gaps by switching to another program
Stay tuned, I’m about to make a video on how I teach my kids to read and it’s the next step after this program. In a nutshell, no specific program is needed. I used the same, simple tools with my dyslexic child after this program that I did with my kids without a reading challenge and it worked beautifully.

Can you help me please my son have dyslexia he STD One he can read sometime he don't understand what the teacher is saying

What do you mean your daughter knew where she belongs spaciously? Could you explain on that further? I’ve never addressed this with my children (homeschooler who was homeschooled) and maybe I need to address it
Emiline, it’s common for dyslexic kids to have strengths in other areas such as artistic skills and spatial awareness. It usually displays by them having good balance or being good in the water. With other kids they are good at taking things apart and knowing how to put them back together, or being able to make 3d puzzles. If you want to know more about different strengths your kids might have, check out ruclips.net/video/Vn4czhmKD9o/видео.html
May I ask how long you spent on each letter?
Hmmm that’s a good question. It’s been a couple of years. I think we did a letter each day.

This is the link for the videos treasurehunt.prenda.co Click on the button “For Helpful Adults” and it will send you to a page where you can print the workbook.
I hope you have a great experience with it. My daughter has now finished the program and can open any book and read it. I have loved how this has opened the world for her.
How old was your daughter when you noticed she was having hard time with memorizing letters? I have a brilliant 5 year old who is very intelligent, but can’t memorize symbols. So I was wondering if he has learning disabilities or just still were young?
I think she was 5 when she first started showing interest in reading. By six I knew we had something different than her brothers experienced. Every child is different; there’s no magic age to learn reading. But usually their curiosity is the marker that they are ready to begin learning. It was the disconnect between her desire and ability that raised red flags for me.
How do I purchase the book?
The best information I have on that is listed in the description. When I contacted them they said they’re trying to make it available on Amazon, but I don’t know if they have, yet.
Is this book appropriate for children with auditory dyslexia?
I’m not an expert on all of the different types of dyslexia, but I think this book probably works for all of them. I have also found that doing crossover exercises (where we reach the right hand over to the left shoulder or down to the left foot and vice versa) are really effective in helping my dyslexic child be able to read. I’m not sure if that is specific to auditory dyslexia or not, but it is a cool little trick to have in your pocket.
Would this resource work for an older kid like 10-12?
Maaaaybe. The ideas apply to all ages, but the videos are geared to younger kids. Still, 10 year olds might be okay with it. I would suggest looking at the videos first. If they’ll work for your child I’d say you’re good to go.
I will like a copy to print
Here is the link: treasurehunt.prenda.co select the download the workbook button and then hit print.
At 4 yrs my child cannot hold pencil very well to write.
It takes a lot of strength to hold onto pencils at that age. I would advise making sure your child has plenty of time to play outside, climb, bounce balls etc.
