Bonus Videos
Full Sounds Lesson
In this video, I model a letter sounds lesson from beginning to end. If you're not sure what a lesspn with your little one looks like, this is a great place to start.
Day 1 Lesson
This video is for parents who are about to teach their first lesson. I'll explain what things to consider as you get started, and show you what your first lesson might look like.
Full Blending Lesson
Blending lessons can feel intimidating when you're first starting out. In this video, I'll walk you through each part of a blending lesson so you can feel more confident with your own little one.
Quick & Active Sounds Lesson
Incorporating movement and play makes letter sounds lessons engaging and effective. In this video, you'll see what this looks like in action to give you some ideas about what might work for your little one!
First Time Blending
Blending lessons can seem much more intimidating than letter sound lessons when you're getting started. In this video, I'll explain how to introduce blending for the first time and how to use your Blending Words Course cheat sheets.
More Kindergarten Spelling
One of the most common questions I get asked is how a parent can help improve their little one's spelling. In this video, I'll model a kindergarten spelling lesson with Aria, using the phonics and blending skills she's been working on.
Kindergarten Spelling
In this video, you'll see a full kindergarten spelling lesson with Nixon. We work on where to start writing on the page, how to put spaces between words, and how to segment words into sounds.
4 Sound Blending Lesson
4-sound blending can be a little more challenging to explain than 2 and 3-sound blending, since you'll be working on consonant blends. In this video, Nixon is working on 4-sound blending. I'll model how to plan a lesson, complete a warm-up, practice blending, and read a decodable book.
Teaching the Sounds
Learning the letter sounds can be one of the most fun parts of learning to read! In this video, I'll model how to determine which sounds to focus on during your lesson. Then, I'll show you how to practice new sounds in a fun and engaging way.
How to Explain Tricky Sounds
Once your little one has mastered 3 and 4-sound blending, it's time to introduce more advanced phonics sounds. In this video, I explain how to teach these advanced sounds (and it's not as difficult as you might think!)
How To Assess a Child For The First Time
Assessing your little one's letter sounds is the first step in teaching them how to read. In this video, I'll model how to do exactly that with a family in our TCR Community!
