You truly have the heart of a teacher. You explained this so nicely and visually appealing to understand. I checked out this book from a local library and was a little intimidated but you gave such good suggestions! Thank you for this content!
Wow! Thank you so much for this video I found it extremely helpful. I can't wait to start my son's learning program. I feel like with the help of this video we are on the right track.
This is extremely helpful. Thank you! I’m about to start Teach Your Child to Read. Have you found that your twins need a formal LA program after the book?
We are halfway through now with 100EL. Mine is a late kindergartener. I feel there is a similar issue with lessons taking long now so I am splitting them up. However, I was going to go stop now, back in the book to an earlier lesson where the struggle won't be so much as it is now, then add in Explode the code book 1 to hopefully give more practice. Given your experience with your son, would you have done that in retrospect?
Thank you for such a detailed videos and tips. We are also starting TYCtR and this will be so helpful. Could you tell, at what lessons did you introduce BOB books and Miss Rhonda?
I twit loved all the details you put into this video! I was wondering what the average was on the Lexile reading that your kids were at when they finished 100 easy lessons?
Thank you so much!! This is very helpful!! I just purchased Teach your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons and I plan on using it with my soon to be 4yr old...and soon to be 3yr old. I have a question for you..did you teach your twins at the same time..or separately...or what approach would you recommend for me. Thanks again!!
Hi, thanks for watching! I taught my kids each separately, working with them one-on-one. The other kids would be playing or coloring or working on something independently during that time. If your 4 year old seems ready for formal instruction, I would start with with him/her, while your soon to be 3 year old is either playing nearby or even in your lap, so s/he feels part of it - I bet s/he'll pick up a lot just listening! But, my guess is that 2, or even 3, is too early to start formal instruction. When my kids were that age, we were reading aloud a lot and incorporating lots of pre-reading skills into our day. Best of luck to you and your kids!!
Hi Alicia! Yes, I started on the hard copy book 1 of Explode the Code after the 100 Easy Lessons in order to build confidence, and I found that he also needed it. The Explode the Code online adjusted to his level, and was cheaper overall than the hard copy books. Wishing you much success!
@@evanshomeschooladventure2628 thanks for answering! I did the online test and it recommended I start on book 4 but I've been thinking of starting from two or maybe three. Or just say it's good review and starting from the first book. I don't know what to do! Were you able to get through the first book pretty quickly?
@@MrTyrex396 I think if your son placed into the 4th book, I wouldn't go all the way back to book 1. If it were me, I would get book 4 and look thru it to see whether my kid could start it successfully. And, if it seemed a little too close to the upper edge of his range of proximal development, I would opt for book 3, in which case, I might start in the middle of book 3 and not at the beginning. If you've been working closely with your son on the 100 Easy Lessons curriculum, you'll probably be able to tell where to start in book 3 just by looking thru the book. The reason I started with Explode the Code's book 1 after 100 Easy Lessons is because my kid was still REALLY struggling, in ways that didn't make sense to me. After using the hard copy Explode the Code books and then the online version, I ended up having him tested and he's now working with a reading specialist to get the intervention he needs. Best of luck to your and your son!
@@evanshomeschooladventure2628 thanks so much! That was very helpful! I think I will get 3 and 4 and look through them before starting. Do you think having the teachers guide is necessary?
@@MrTyrex396 So happy to help! Us homeschooling mamas gotta stick together! I didn't have the teacher's guide, so I can't speak to it specifically; but, I think it makes sense to order one to see what it's like and then make a decision about whether the benefit of having teacher's guides for the other books is worth the cost. And if you do, please let us know what you think!
I have learned more in your video than my weeks and weeks of researching how to teach my child to read. Wow! Thank you for sharing!
Explode the Code also has Teachers Guides and flashcards called Code Cards.
This was great! Thank you. Wasn’t sure if I need to change to those pricy ones. Gives me hope. Thanks 😊
Please take a look at the Reading Lesson. It is quite an easy to use program similar to the 100 Lessons book but far more child-friendly.

Thank you so much for your kind words! Wishing you much success (and fun!) teaching your little(s) how to read!
Very very helpful.

Did you start on book 1 after completing 100 Easy Lessons?
