General Training–SOUND-SYMBOL RELATIONSHIPS

General Training–BLENDING SOUNDS

Dr. Phyllis Haddox demonstrates and teaches YOU an important skill you need to master BEFORE you teach a child. That skill is BLENDING – SAYING THE SOUNDS WITHOUT STOPPING or NOT TAKING A BREATH BETWEEN SOUNDS. You want to be a good model when you to teach this reading pre-skill, because when you teach BLENDING well, you make it easier for children to hear a whole word when they actually see the symbols and sound out a word.

Specific Training-LESSON 20 RHYMING

In this video Dr. Phyllis Haddox, co-author of “Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons,” works with a workshop participant to train him to teach an important blending skill, rhyming. Since this particular rhyming exercise has many steps it should be practiced to proficiency in order to skillfully use the techniques that result in a child successfully blending a list of several sound-symbols (including the quick sound, “c”) that the child sees on the page with the end of a word that the instructor (parent) says.

Demonstration-LESSON 53 ADVANCED STORY READING

In the beginning lessons of Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons, a child learns to sound out and say words aloud, then the book has exercises to gradually transition into internally sounding out, and finally reading words “the fast way.” In this brief video, you’ll see a mom (halfway through the book) directing her son to read the title, then to find the period or question mark of a sentence and next read that whole sentence “the fast way” (by whole words). Finally, mom does the picture-comprehension exercise with her son. Notice their positive interactions and how much the son enjoys the story.

Demonstration-LESSON 74 ADVANCED WORD READING

In this video, a mother demonstrates teaching an advanced word-reading exercise to her son. By Lesson 72 of Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons, a child will have learned how to rapidly sound out a word silently, then say the word aloud (“the fast way”).  This mom is following the scripted steps of the exercise and makes it seem quite natural.  She has her son first read the word (covering the ending), then uncovers the ending and has him read the whole word.  Notice her quick pacing and reinforcing interactions with her son.  He is confident and fluent in his responses.
