Teach Letter Sounds, then they Read!

I followed your advice when my daughter was about 21-22 months old. I made flash cards per your recommendation and used daily. My hope was that she would learn her sounds by the time she was three. Much to my surprise she had everything down pat by her second birthday (so she had learned them in about 2-3 months). She frequently will see letters in her environment and tell us their sound. She knows them in and out of order and upper and lower case. It really astonished us and other people. My encouragement to any parent reading this is: just try it. See what happens. It’s not a race to get your child to read as quickly as you can, but it is astonishing what children are able to learn at young ages. Just go at your child’s pace and see what they’re capable of.

I thought I was losing myself as a mom. Postpartum depression, anger issues, and too focused on my stress that I didn’t realize the pain and hurt I was causing to my son and to our bond. I asked God for help. While looking for that help your channel came to my sight. There are no such things as coincidences. I will teach my son using everything you’ve advised. You’ve reminded me of how everything should be. I’m inspired to change for my son and myself. Already I’ve become a much more patient person. Thank you for the love you hold in your heart to teach the wandering from going astray. You’ve humbled me. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thank you for your wisdom. 🙏

You’re a treasure and your children are blessed to have you as their mother. We, your viewers, are grateful for your wealth of valuable information. I’ve yet to see anyone who understands how to educate children as well as you. No coincidence that you’re also a woman of faith and a great Patriot. I nominate you as Mother and Patriot of the year. 🌷🇺🇸 Thank you and God bless you.

I taught my daughter the sounds a while back. We've been going over and over. I feel so tired of it. Finally, today, she surprised the heck out of me and read new words and I was so happy. Like yes I'm making a difference.

Wow, I know this video is geared towards learning letters and sounds, however my take away was how to be more patient and more enthusiastic with my little ones. Thank you for another great video. You are amazing

I started watching your videos when I was searching for phonics sounds for my 4 year old daughter. I began to feel discouraged in teaching her the alphabet sounds and I came across your videos, which my children and I cannot get enough of. My children love your videos and want me to try everything you do with them, even the meal plan. But now I find out that you’re Christian and it all makes sense. I signed up for your newsletter. Thank you so much for your videos and God bless you and your family 🙏🏽

I too will add my thank you. I am teaching my now 4yr old using your methods and I see success. Thank you. I always follow your suggestions bc they are ALWAYSSSS on point!!!!! 🤗

My 2 year old stopped in her tracks and was captivated by your video. Thank you for showing me how to teach my child because I was going at it the wrong way!! New subscriber here!

Now I am a young mom of two girls four and two , I was able to read books by age four thanks to my dad, I still remember the letter sound worksheets that he prepared for us when we were kids, I am talking two languages at the same time ,Amharic and English, And thanks to you for showing me the easier way to teach my daughter, you are such a great mom, teacher and inspiration.

Hi Jady. I just wanted to let you know that,you had made me a better mother.i was inexperience mother when i had my son who had speech delay,as i was browsing through you tube I came across your channel 5 years ago,not only did i teach him how to speak but also how to read by age 5 he could read level 17.following your style of teaching and the alphaphonic book you recommend I taught my daughter how to read fluently by age 4 and now teaching my 3yo.he is already blending words. All I wanted to say is thank you so much.

Thank you so much Jady. You’ve always been such an inspiration for our family. My last child is almost three and is ready to blend. Ive been watching you since my first born was small. Now she is in second grade. Crazy how time flies!!

Thank you ! I have a son, he’s 4 and I’m going to put in practice this. He’s very excited, he was singing the song with you guys and clapping his hands.

I previewed this video for less than 3 minutes and was AMAZED at her 3 yr olds grasp of the Alphabet sounds and recognition as well!! I have a 6 yr old that is WAY behind compared to that lil fella! I'm in!!!! Can't wait for the next video! You have the patience and UNERSTANDING of children that together is a rare combination and to see it all play out..just as you say is truly Amazing as are you Madame. Thank you dearly!! Father of a 6 yr old boy.

So many good tips for teaching our children. Beautiful work and family, TY for posting.

Love your videos! Everyone says how smart my kids are because of your videos. I'm so glad you mentioned how it's normal that they mix up the b and d sounds at first!! Love you Jady!

Wow! I'm glad I found your channel. I was actually having a hard time teaching my firstborn to read because we started with the alphabet. And now for my second one, I would definitely do this. Thank you so much!

Awesome! Im gonna be starting to teach my son tomorrow! Pray for my patience, wisdom and gentleness while teaching 🙏

Jady, we learned reading really well because of you, because of your lessons. I am very grateful to you. It was one of your first YouTube videos we watched, and used these methods over and over again, with my next children, and they worked really well each time. They are great readers now.

Thank you a million. You have helped me nurture my girl. Also understand that it is never to early to begin teaching and emphasized that teaching starts at home. Thank you for the video of your daughters singing the "A says a". It was an effective tool that I used everyday twice a day.

Hello Jady! I would like to make a request could you make a video on how to teach long and short vowel sounds. Thank you so much.
