@@angierobinson4899 Sorry it was hard with your daughter. I think with kids that struggle the most important part is to show them how enjoyable reading can be and then give them time. I was awful at reading when I was young and now as an adult I read more than most people I know.
First kid was sooooo fun! I read aloud to him and his brothers all the time (still do). Kid #2…. Just didn’t click! Dyslexia- we went through 5 curriculums before the Gather Round Ready to read worked with him. I think he gained things from each before it clicked . He didn’t start reading chapter books until 13!!! Lots of tears but he’s read 27 chapter books this school year so far!!! 3rd kid has reading struggles, ready to read didn’t make sense at all. His younger sister picked up reading before him. And she has been reading our old Bob books. Still have a struggler. I guess I’ve learned, they are all sooo different in how their brains work. I love the idea about the All about Reading Readers even without the curriculum. I’m going to browse ThriftBooks for those. Thanks love your videos! Thanks for the ideas.
I am one of those moms very nervous about teaching them how to read. Mine will be a kindergardener in a couple weeks. I do like this video and ordered bob books thank you!
Logic of English foundations teaching sounds like this! It’s my favorite! It has a whole curriculum- open and go with letter tiles and songs and books. Just what you are talking about!!! I had no idea all about spelling had the same philosophy. Thank you for showing me that!
This is great advice! I think teaching little ones to read can be needlessly intimidating. As you say it is a natural process for children. They absorb so much language especially when they're so little! 🙌☺️
I think teaching kids to read becomes stressful when we are pushing them at a rate faster than they are ready for. Thank you for your encouraging words.
Kindergarten teacher here:) My philosophy when it comes to teaching young learners to read has evolved over the last 24 years. I’ve learned through the latest research that reading is NOT a natural process for us. The human brain is hard-wired for spoken language - making learning to speak natural. But children must be taught how to read and that is through us, the teachers and parents. We have to rewire the brain connections through systematic explicit instruction . It’s so fascinating!
This is really good. You packed a LOT of practical, actionable advice in. I think it will be really helpful for people! I loved the part about teaching ALL the letter sounds.
Thank you! I hoped it came across clearly. I've had negative feedback on this approach before so I tried to explain it as well as I could. I appreciate your encouragement.
@@FamilyStyleLearning I think it's great. And I think we're probably pretty close to your target audience. Someone who doesn't know exactly how they'd want to do it and is open to whatever right be the best approach. Really good. I wouldn't have commented if I didn't think it was worthy of praise 😁
Love this video and how to highlighted learning all the various sounds from the beginning. This approach is similar to the "Better Alphabet Song" and the secret stories approach build on top of that.
@@leticiabailey2107 Have you seen this video? These are my top kindergarten recommendations ruclips.net/video/zdhQKQd3ggw/видео.htmlsi=BBykVG3BtHSZrUbx
I really like this approach to teach reading. Do you follow the AAS teachers guide or do u make sure they get all the phonic sounds down first then start the curriculum. I've never seen the curriculum in person. We just finished AAR Pre-reading.
I make sure they have all the sounds down before progressing in AAS. We do start on Bob books as soon as they show interest in starting to read. For your first child follow the AAS teachers guide at your own pace. Some times a lesson is done in a day sometimes we get stuck on a lesson for a while. After you know the rules well you might only refer to the teachers guide once in a while for future children. I find that I use it less and less with each child. Glad this was helpful. I have a spelling video coming out soon, so stay on the look out if your interested in that.
Great concept and totally logical to me! Do you just begin to teach letter names in the early years or do you also teach the sounds? For example, so many of the preschool-type workbooks and pages have pictures such as an apple or alligator for letter “A”. Would you give them all of the “A” sounds at this time or how do you navigate that? I also watched your preschool resources video, good stuff. Thanks!
All About Spelling flash cards are really nice for this. We use them for as long at we need. I think this is step one in All About Spelling and sometimes it takes us weeks or months to get them all down, but that fine, we aren't in any hurry. I do still use other workbooks or coloring pages to but I have my kids say all the sounds. We do it with diamond dots too. Like if my son has to put all the green dots on the "a" space he will say all three sounds while he does it. Hope that helps.
See my biggest problem is I don't consider myself very smart. I mean I'm not dumb I'm just not very educated when it comes to teaching and this is my 1st year homeschooling and I worry if I can properly teach my kids.

Are you referring to the all about spelling workbooks? Those are new and I have the first edition of the spelling books. I am contemplating getting them during this 10% off sale. www.allaboutlearningpress.net/go.php?id=2243
Do you enjoy teaching your kids to read?
Nope. It is my least favorite subject.
@@christinaalbee6874 aww, I'm sorry. Keep in mind that just because it's been hard with one kid doesn't mean it will be the same with all of them.
With my daughter it has been awful😢😂 my son is just starting and he is enjoying it

I am going to do all about spelling level 1 for 1st grade next year and not all about reading. Thanks!!
Go at your students pace. Some lessons will go fast and some could take weeks. That's ok.

If you can potty train you can teach them how to read 😆 If you ever want to connect let me know. I'd love to encourage you as you're getting started!

Thanks for affirming that about Logic of English. That was my understanding but I've never used it.

I’m using the Spalding method. The book The Reading Road to Writing is great.
I'm very interested and will look into it. Thanks.

Wow! Good info!
Thank you! I hope it is able to help families who are nervous about teaching their kids how to read.
Where can I get those cards? Can I get them separately from AAS?
I don't think they sell them separately but if you are part of any homeschool swap shops you might find the curriculum fairly inexpensively.
