Okay Akeeba, PLEASE come out with a reading/language curriculum already! This was FANTASTIC! I used your advanced phonics pdf with my son this past school year and it was the TRUTH. We took your advice and made it fun. I would introduced the new phonics sound with read it, find it (with his magnifying glass, he'd find and circle/highlight the sound from a wordlist) and write it. We close the lesson with a search. I'd write the sound on a foam card and stick it somewhere with a clue like "ar, wanted to help with the laundry today, can you find ar?" He'd use his magnifying glass and search with purpose 😂😂😂. He LOVED it. We didn't go through the entire list as we started toward the tail end of the school year, but will definitely continue and add on tips from this video ❤❤❤
@@mylifemyopinion4451 Hi there! Check out Akeeba's "WHY your smart child guess words instead of reading" video. In it, she provides a link for the advanced phonics PDF 😉!
I am a retired educator & administrator and immediately recognized excellence when I see it. You are so humble and an excellent educator. Love your content & enjoy your lovely family. Blessings Abundant & Shalom Shalom.
A very good and shower afternoon to you and your family, good job, amazing teaching, very simple and easy to digest, may the Lord increase your knowledge, continue to give you good health and sound mind, Amen.
I'm in 7th grade and my reading level improved so much during the years, in 3rd grade I wasn't confident in my reading or throughout 4th or 5th during the summer of 5th and throughout 6th I started reading books,manga (Japanese comics) and watching kdramas ( Korean dramas) anime (Japanese cartoons) with subtitles and it really improved my reading a whole lot and I feel more confident in my reading now.
I’ve been struggling with elearning with my kiddos and could see that they’re behind in reading 🥺 this was somehow recommended and I just want to thank you for posting. My kids are 5 and 7 as well. Your daughters are precious and sooo smart. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am an adult and didn't get this thaught at school. I always check for videos on how to improve reading. If only UK state schools tought like you, life would have so much easier for all.. Being able to read is a great gift. May the Almighty giver of knowledge rewards you for all your efforts. Thank you for the clear explanation and no background music, as I can concentrate on what you are saying without distraction.
Not sure how I received this recommendation but THANK YOU! My son has a learning disability and this is the clearest explanation of reading that I have ever come across. I have spent a TON of money on print outs, syllabus', book recommendations and classes. I will definitely give this a try. Thank you so much!
I did homeschool last year I must extend gratitude to Kindergarten teachers. There are some things we did well on while we missed critical helpful tools such as this video. I am understanding the importance of choosing a lane in life, not because we cannot do everything but we must master a skill or strive to in order to properly give back to the community. Thank you!
I just stumbled into your channel yesterday and as a new homeschool mom I really appreciate you sharing your content! You’re an incredible mother and teacher!!!!!❤
Every learning video I have watched by you has worked with my boys 100% to where people are amazed! I'm not a teacher (not certified), but I come from a family of teachers and they are impressed when I post videos of my sons (age 3 & 5) on social media. Thank you for all your help!
Could you please share some of those videos I would love to see them. Oh yes and I’m 12 I started reading mini chapter books like you know Amelia bedelia when I was 4.
Hello fellow homeschooling moms - this is excellent information! This is almost exactly what I have found in my research for teaching struggling learners. Thank you for sharing your wisdom Akeeba!!
Akeeba, you are such an amazingly gifted teacher! I wish I could have had a teacher like you coming up because there was so much I didn’t understand. You are a blessing to many and now with your vlogs children don’t have to be left behind if they use the tools of the lesson you just taught. Thank you so much and God bless. Watching from(your hometown)Maryland, USA 🇺🇸!
Hey, Akeeba! I left my school district in 2012, but I still teach reading; my specialty is reading difficulties/disabilities. I do miss all of my kids, but I won't go back into the system. I just bought some new goodies and I'm always getting ideas from you. Thank you so much for sharing and hurry up and put out an Akeeba Reading Curriculum, Lol!
@@JudahMarley With all that's going on today, homeschooling would be my choice today if I had young children. I'm quite sure that Akeeba has a lot of suggestions for the best homeschooling resources today, that's why I try to stay in touch with what she's doing.
Amazing 👏🏾 tutorial!❤ Thank you, and your little princess 👸🏿 scholars are so beautiful and brilliant! Loved 😍 that you are taking control of ensuring that your children are learning and receiving a quality education!
This channel is coming up in conversations daily. I'm so impressed with every video! Can't wait to try these tactics. I never even thought about these things growing up and I was a good reader, but my kids are struggling. I am very thankful for this channel and homeschool mama!
This is super useful like me a year ago when I would help my baby cousin with his reading would have been crying happy tears because the fluency your children have is amazing
Awesome job girls! I had a huge smile on my face the entire time you two were reading. Way to work with your daughters Akeeba. It’s really refreshing to see videos that educate our children. I enjoy watching you teach and spread knowledge.
Hello my dear. You are an incredibly gifted teacher and communicator! I love the timber of your voice. Thankyou for using and applying your gifts to teach and train your immediate family first and then, your
You are an Amazing Mother who has raised Awesome Children, who have the Spirit Of Excellence! God has moved Wonderfully Through you All, WOW!!! Thank You for the Inspiration, it was Very Informational, as well as Helpful I Am Sure To Many! You Can Tutor Many Children that Need some Help, and have given the Tools to other parents on how to do it themselves! God Bless You And Your Family!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS AND YOU AND THE GIRLS! I have 11 gbabies, I also work at an elementary school as a Coach for Kids and while the social/emotional wellbeing is my focus, many of the children struggle with reading. I truly appreciate your sharing with the world for the betterment of our babies!
Your oldest and my child are the same age. Reading has been a struggle, but I have seen improvements since starting homeschooling last year. I think a lot is just from reading together and speaking in general. This is awesome! I finally came across you just a few days ago and I am blown away and still figuring out where to start since we are already in second grade. I personally feel so many things would be easier if we got her reading level up. She likes to read (most of the times), way more than I did at her age, so I have high hopes for her. I’m glad you are up here helping us and breaking everything down to us with the resources we need. Thank you!
Wow ,these babies are super intelligent, i work as a social worker In a school with similar ages and trust me there are a few that kind read 📚 on that level pronouncing the words like polyps wow👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Akeeba thank you. This is such a useful piece. I have a 9 year old with visual processing disorder and reading has been a little challenging but she's so determined and I am researching for resources to help her progress. This was massive help.
(CONT) your extended family members. It is fortunate for we who partake of your vlogging efforts, to be exposed to your exceptional methods and abilities. My way of teaching my child was different and as effective. He began reading fluently at 3 years (high school level). Admittedly, it was a bit frightening, yet extremely exilerating. Keep on keeping on and I wish you every possible success. You are a Sterling example of living, learning and loving. Thankyou.
I'm trying this with my 7 year old. She's struggling decoding words and phonemic awareness. Her school doesn't know how to help and I'm at my wits end. I'll definitely be trying this
It's funny because we are doing All About Reading Level 3 with my 2nd grader and I was feeling bewildered at the content - starting out with syllables, which is not really how I remember learning how to read. This is definitely reassuring that I should just trust the program and myself - as I'm homeschooling. She is naturally pretty good at just sounding things out. I'm like - WHY ARE WE JUST LEARNING SYLLABLES?! 😂
My son is 6 and is behind in reading. We're working on phonics, syllables and sounding out words. We use k 12s curriculum and we're learning phonics again this year. I'm being patient reading is important. I have a very strong willed child I'm going to try to make it fun! I have been reading to him since he was a baby.
Akeeba you are amazing. Thank you. You are teaching me to teach my son. I absolutely love you and your sister's videos. Please keep it coming. I need a lot of guidance and you are my go to.
I am so appreciative of you help and time thank you. You are making this process with my youngest easier. I wish I had you 14yrs ago with my oldest. Once agian thank you thank you.
Ms. Akeeba I admire and look up to you and ms.Alena so much. I never struggled with reading and reading has always come easy to me. I started reading those my first chapter books when I was 4 but had I learned to read the way you teach reading I would have been declared a reading prodigy. You are amazing I’m going to see if I can use some of your videos to help my nephew because he’s mildly autistic and has a lot of trouble when it comes to reading.
Thank you so much for this! My daughter is 8 and really struggling with basic kindergarten reading and she is a rule follower like me we love having rules to follow, I think she was missing these and I think it will make a huge difference! Thank you for sharing!
I started using Alpha-Phonics and it has been working wonderfully but while I was viewing your video with my son he mentioned how he enjoyed watching your daughters read and once you started explaining the rules of closed and open syllables it clicked for him. He said “oh, I get it”.
Hi. Thank you for sharing your skills. I have been really overwhelmed with trying to help my daughter improve her reading skills. I feel inspired. I took notes but would love to have the link with the cheat sheet. Thanks again. 😊
Akeeba, congratulations! I have been a subscriber since the Baltimore days when you'd blog in your car on the way to work. You're expertise will be missed there! Soooooo impressive with the girls reading abilities! You're brilliant!
The ppl who disliked this video kids can read better then them. Or they mad cause they can’t read… 😅 btw this is how i teach my Kids also. My 12yr old has been reading since 5. My now 5yr old is killin it now! 🥰
Great content, examples and tips. I am an adult educator instructor. I can use your math tips on learning multiplication to help adult master their basic math skills. I really rejoined those lesson. I love to see more tips on fractions, percent and word problems.
I just love these girls their mom doing a great job with them I they set and example for of children I’m glad the world can see what intellligent kidds they are this will help some child to want to do better all across the board
