I’m am about to try your program with my 8y/o 2nd grader son. I get so sad listening to him read because it’s all my fault he is struggling. Thank you for helping parents like me.
Reading challenges are so common - please don't feel guilty! You're on the right path to get your son reading on grade level. So excited to have you in the program. :)
Thanks a lot. I'm a Basic three teacher in Nigeria and sadly I have 2 kids in my class who can't read this is really helpful
I'm so glad this was helpful to you! @@ezechidinmafaith9440
Me too
HI DO YOU WANT TO BE MY BEST FRIEND PLEASE
My 8 year old kid just doesn't want to learn. Just has a melt down when anyone tries to tell him to do anything he doesn't want to do. Yes I've tried to make it fun. No dice. He just cries and wants to play fortnight. He doesn't even know his middle name. Kids only care about video games and fun now. They hate hard work
I'm so sorry you're going through that! I do have something I can send you that can help with that motivation piece. Email me at alison@learningattheprimarypond.com with the subject "Motivation" - I'll send it over! :)
My 8yo grandson is same way. Also 8 year old granddaughter. Ugh SO frustrating 😮
Same I feel overwhelmed
@@danielleM3052 I'm so sorry you're going through that, Danielle! Please feel free to email me at alison@learningattheprimarypond.com if you'd like to chat about your situation. ❤
My 8 eight year old as well and wants people to give her the answer in stead of her reviewing it trying to figure it out and then me working with her she just wants to say I don't know this and doesn't attempt to try
I knew someone who at eight years old could only read word-sounds mechanically, never hearing them as actual words. I had the privilege of buying him the book he was reading, and actually being there as well, when it finally started to click!
It was probably two or three years later when I was at that family's house and saw he was reading a book from the high school library as his homework, because his school didn't have a reading group for him.
Sometimes it's just a simple matter, like having the right synapses finally connect, or finding a teacher or a book that explains things in just the right way, or maybe of learning just enough to get unfrustrated enough to learn more.
That's true! Thank you so much for sharing. 🙂
My 7 yr old is struggling with reading and teacher already told me he might fail 2nd grade. I've tried tutoring, study with him daily and nothing is helping. I feel so overwhelmed and stressed 😪 but I will definitely take this video in consideration. Thank you ❤
I hope this helps! You can email me at any time to chat about your situation! :) alison@learningattheprimarypond.com
@@readingsoswithalison Will do. Thanks 😊
Please I need your help.
I learned to read in forth grade probably i was ten but maths has shortcuts, english is easy, french is just verbs you need to know well , science also easy and his and geo was also easy
Thank you. I'm going to try this with my special child
You're so welcome! Please reach out if you have any questions. :)
Thank you
Very good strategy for readers. Must appreciate
Use a long e when the definite article precedes a vowel sound.
I have a 10 year old step son he doesn’t know how to read and is not that confident in doing so. Summer has started and I hope i able to get him there 🥹
Same with my soon to be 10 year old son
Vowels are a problem 9 yrs yet can read close passages and has great understanding and knowledge base!
Hi, Robyn! Having good comprehension is a great start! If you'd like an assessment to identify any phonics gaps, please check out this page: www.risingreadersparentacademy.com/help-your-struggling-reader ☺
This video is such good quality and should have more views!
Thank you so much, Sofia! ☺
im so stressed and panicked ans sad my child is 9 and she cant read 😢 please please help us
Oh no!! I am so sorry to hear that - that is super stressful. Email support@learningattheprimarypond.com with the subject line "Responding to Alison's comment" and it will get to me so we can talk about what you can do. Talk to you soon!
Came here to comment same thing. Did you try it and did it work?
Excellent explanation
Glad it was helpful!
I love learning
Thank God i came by this. Please i really appreciate. He knows most of the alphabet sounds but serious difficulty in blending them together. Its really frustrating and shameful especially because I m a teacher, though maths but then . His siblings didn't give me this problem. Pls i need your help...i Will create all the time necessary.
Hi, Irene! I'd be so happy to help with your situation. I know it can be so difficult when our children have reading difficulties. Please feel free to email me at alison@learningattheprimarypond.com.
My son is in IEP 8 yrs can’t read he doesn’t listen to me so I recently offer someone to pay them hourly for 2 hours a day, with teaching skills to hopefully this helps him, hoping he can learn in 3 months, he spells everything I feel he just needs a little help.
I hope that helps! :) That's great!
Going through this now 😢 my 7 yr old comprehends well but she’s failing her test because she’s struggling to read. Her school wants to evaluate her to she if there’s a reason why she can’t read fluently yet. She’s in tutoring now and I also try to make reading fun but all she wants to do is play.
That must be so difficult for you both, Kay! That's great that the school is being proactive. If you'd ever like to chat more about your situation, please feel free to email me! alison@learningattheprimarypond.com ❤
This video is greatly appreciated....I will certainly try it
I'm so glad this helps, Tanisha!
You’re amazing thank you so much!
You're so welcome!
Well done.
He's 5 and I knew he was behind but I'd like to act now. Especially while he's in kindergarten
That's great that you're being so proactive! :)
Hi Alison! I am so glad i came across your video and its heartening to see you do reply to the questions and queries put forth to you, unlike many other youtubers. I have subscribed to you.
My son was a premie and has had significant speech delay. He is on speech therapy and only started saying half sentences at 5 years old. He still struggles with sounds like he cannot sound out "g" and says "j" . There are several other sound substitutions in his speech.
So teaching him reading has been a challenge. He will turn 6 next month and start 1st grade soon. I don't want him to struggle in reading or get left behind.
I have started sitting with him to teach him blending as he is struggling with it. He gets confused with the vowel sounds that come in CVC words. Now he is beginning to get frustrated and not want to try.
I also have to practice speech sounds with him which his speech therapist gives.
Its becoming overwhelming for both of us. 😞
Please share some tips for reading for kids with speech delay.
Thank you.
Hi! So sorry to hear you're having trouble - it totally makes sense that it's difficult for him, though, with the speech delay. Definitely keep reading to him and modeling how to read CVC words. I think this other video (from my teacher channel) may be helpful to watch, too: ruclips.net/video/yTCxzvprqDY/видео.html&ab_channel=LearningAtThePrimaryPond
My boy can’t read , am I a bad father ? He’s in kindergarten and is falling behind big time .
His teacher gets angry with me I am doing my best to study with him the kid just doesn’t get it . Very frustrating
It's normal to feel guilty when our children struggle with reading, but this issue is so, so common, so try not to feel this way. If you'd like some help as you move forward with your child, please feel to email me at alison@learningattheprimarypond.com.
It's THEIR job to teach your child to read but somehow it's your fault? This is on them. Teaching to read is not your job. It's theirs!!!
Excellent video
Thanks for watching!
I am not a full time teacher. But have taught classes before I have begun a reading class at our public library. And am looking into other methods of teaching. Thank you so much for your program. Bill Owens
I need help with my soon to be 10 yr old. He’s even struggling with writing. I feel like a failure

Im a new mom and I just got rid of my tv. Im telling my dad and my in laws that my kid isnt allowed any screen time, video games, etc.
I need to work on my own screen time though. It is so addictive, and as a recovered drug addict, I know my brain is already wired for addiction. Im already so afraid I'm going to fail my child 😔
Congratulations on your new addition! You've got this. You know what's best for your child. ❤

Hi.thank.you.xxxx

Hi, Jocelyn! You can apply here: www.risingreadersparentacademy.com/applytoRR I hope that helps! 😊
what if you can't get them to sit longer than 20 minutes?
15-20 minutes is a great amount of time to start. Your child should build stamina over time, but it's normal for attention span to be short when they're young. 😊
My son is leader becuaose she has good reading im so prowd to my son she 8 y.o.

My district uses fundations for phonics and for my intervention tier 2 group I use UFLI, but am curious about assessing for that 80-90% proficiency part. How should I be assessing since fundations has an end of unit test and ufli doesn’t include that
You could just have kids read / spell a list of 10 words and look for proficiency that way!
@@readingsoswithalison thank you! I was overthinking it and wondered if it needed to be something more “legit”
You're so welcome! @@LiT01985 Not at all. 😊

In our part of the world if your child is a slow learner, that child becomes the mockery of the class. Most teachers don't care
I'm so sorry to hear that! I sincerely hope things can change wherever you are.

The problem I have with my son is he says everything is made for babies. The pictures and premade curriculum is a no go for him. He refuses so I have to remake everything so he doesn’t think it’s made for babies.
That is tough and sounds like a lot of work! I would check out ReadWorks.org for some passages that definitely don't look babyish. Feel free to email me at Alison@learningattheprimarypond.com if I can be of more help.
I watched your video and it's great. However, I clicked the link and am wondering why I need to 'apply to join' Rising Readers. Can't I purchase a program?!
Hi, Samantha! You need to apply so we can make sure your child is in the right age range and sounds like a good candidate. :-) If you have any other questions, email support@learningattheprimarypond.com!
My 8 year old son is struggling to read and sometimes he doesn’t see properly at words and just try to guess it even cvc words I tried everything bt nothing worked.His teacher told me he might fail in 2nd grade. Please help me 😢

How about for 9th graders
Hi, Jephte! While I don't have a program specifically for 9th graders, I think a lot of the tips on this RUclips channel could still apply and be helpful to you. :)
Thank you so very much!
No problem at all!
Too late for us
It's never too late to learn to read! ❤️
