[HelloEnglishus]

Excellent!! If you are ever looking to freelance a little, I am definitely hiring you :) I give English conversation lessons to people in Japan on Skype. I would like to pass your video to my students.  Thank you for a wonderful job!! Scarlett Hello English

very good demonstration

[maryhoy84]

I should share this video with my childrens school district since they believe sight words are the only way a child could learn to read. this is the proper teaching method in my opinion. thank you for this!

[abcwritestartread]

@maryhoy84 Most school districts are using Teacher's College Reading and Writing Workshop or some facsimile thereof, this is a repackaging of whole language. Many other school districts use a Basal Series which uses sight words with a sprinkling of phonics. Rare are the school districts which use direct, systematic, explicit language arts programs which use phonics as their base. Parents MUST take back their school districts and demand research based reading instruction.

I love phonically teaching as opposed to the coding system. I could never understand when my child came home coding words and all the rules.

Interesting video to share with my spanish speaker students in Costa Rica

[MrGlennatat]

Nice video. i'm a linguist from the UK. Interesting to hear different sonic/phonetic values being applied to the same letters. My 'a' sounds like the ;u; in the viea, the 'a' in the video like my capital 'A' sound ... and the 'r', well, I think we growl a little more than you do ;> ... Great work!

[SunnyBunnyABC2010]

This is a great video. I especially liked the explanation of R sound. Thank you!

[DJDZL2011]

I like this too much, thanks for it.

[Fancytuna1]

[abcwritestartread]

@Fancytuna1 Please give examples of the words which have this sound, I'm sure I will be able to help.  Christine Calabrese, Reading Specialist

[jonathansimpson2]

Thanks, its a very clever idea, I teach english in asia and this will help a lot

[amynellful]

HOW AWESOME IT THIS!!!!! my boys will love it!!! A THOUSAND THANKS TO YOU!!!!

[abcwritestartread]

Did you know that the ancient Greeks and old French "Readers" and Spanish "Readers" I have teach a blending exercise like this : Ba,be,bi,bo,bu....ca,ke,ki,co,­cu....da,de,di,do, du.... Etc.... The sounds must however be learned FIRST, and the short vowels MUST be learned in isolation, then blend everything. This is all done in song with Sing, Spell, Read & Write, which is why the program is so powerful. Have a great day!

[kclassic2]

Very nice video. Thank you for demonstrating. My favorite book for teaching young children about sounding out words is "An Ant - Learn to Read."

[sliziolincks]

EXCELLENT! first year teacher and this is so helpful!

[fito3611]

I like this , thank for you help

[jingjoekungatla]

Thank You ^______^

This is the most understandable video .

[allahumubarak]

great idea thanks

[havefunteaching]

Great video...thanks for teaching this activity!!! I have those same magnetic letters...great way to use them as a resource.

[abcwritestartread]

Good for you with the teaching of letter "r" sound- so many teachers get this wrong. There are three combinations of letters that say "er" they are "er,ir,ur" - Glad you're teaching this to teachers!

Actually, of course, if you used the Sing, Spell, Read & Write program you'd know how to blend the first two letters and then add the last using the Ferris Wheel, a very, very efficient technique to teach kids to decode.

[nohdz1]

Thank you - I can now help my grandson:)

[dutcher60]

good jod

[MsSturch]

Thank you so much for this video, it has really helped me with my group of children.

[jet0l19]

Thank you so much for this vid! It showed me an interactive way to teach ESL. I would just take the same two letters and slide them down all the vowels.

[mari3la]

how about HAT, HET, HIT, HOT, HUT=PAN,PEN,PIN,PON,PUN=

DAN,DEN,DIN,DON,DUN..some words are nonsense but kids love the drill. they can also learn both soft C and hard C this way: CAN,CEN(sen),CIN(sin) CON, CUN. they momorize by rhyming. when they see CENTS they knew it is "SENTS".kids who first learn C as /K/ and later C as /S/ sound have somehow fixed K sound in all C words.at first glance, they will read CENTS as KENTS and then correct themselves to SENTS

[Superfreyk]

Obviously this is meant for (very) young kids, so why not use words that appeal to them, things that they have strong visual associations with, e.g. using 'cat' or 'rat' instead of 'pad', 'hen' instead of 'men', 'lip' instead of 'rip', and 'dog' instead of 'hot'. 'Sun' is fine of course.

[ayota1991]

sooo thanx .....

[fkeyman]

Thanks for the video. It really helped my boy to read.

[natharee]

Love your video. very helpful. I try to teach my 2 year old phonic. She knows all letters but I am unable to continue on. This helps a lot. Thanks.

[delightfuldaisy1]

Nice video! I teach kindergarten and this skill is what we are working on now!

[ellejawn]

This was so helpful for a project I was doing. Thank you so much!!

[yahoo12316]

Fantastic!! very helpful.

[expatleanie]

this works well for the first 5mins. u need to make it more fun for kids I teach the same way using songs . 2 as a rule I dont teach phonics using pictures and words. I use words and explain to them the main concern is pronounciation and recognition of blends and letter sounds. I do away with A a-I teach them Letter A says 'a'..3 u 4got to mention certain consonants sound different as endind sounds e.g m, p, r, f etc etc.

[peekatee]

I'm from Singapore. And, I find this very helpful! ;)

[Ashwa2aboelmagdk]

great

[homeschoolmommaof3]

Fantastic. One suggestion. You should sit on the left side of the board and move your letters closer starting with the first letter and then the last letter. This helps students with the direction they should be reading the words.

[alternativecancertre]

Bonnie, put this an another of your videos, as Video Response, on high traffic related videos.

Your videos are really helpful!!!

[mikegnik]

Thank you for sharing. The names of the English letters, say 'H', often do not sound as they are pronounced, which makes me realize how phonics can help bridge that gap.

[softypapa]

This was certainly very helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. Now, I'm heading over to your blog! :-)

[wildmant1]

Very good. I hope I will get to try this next year in China.
