Reading To Your Child Does Not Teach Them How to Read

His insight is phenomenal and we need more teachers like him who CLEARLY LOVES WHAT HE DOES!! Also he jumps right into the content and doesn't ever say "like and subscribe". He is focused on reaching people not soliciting them! Great job! New subby here.

I taught my son reading by 3 years of age. I didn’t learn letter sound myself when I learned English so I had no idea how to teach a kid reading through introducing them to the letter sounds. But what I did was I read to him every day for good two to three hours with a lot of demonstration. I acted, sang, dances, wrote, drew while reading. I saw he was enjoying these reading sessions but I didn’t know that he was actually learning how to read and how to write. He not only learned English he also learned how to read and write Bangla and Arabic because I followed the same method for those two languages too. He was reading books in those languages since he was 3. He’s now 6. My little one who is 2 now knows all the letters of those three languages. I’m doing the exact same thing I did with my older one. My plan was to make them love learning or teach them how to have fun while learning but I had no idea that it would help them in reading and writing. Now my older one is very focused in learning anything. He loves to learn anything which is great but I would like to get more information about whether the method I applied would work for different kids or not.

I’m currently studying to teach, my dream is to teach Kindergarten, and your videos help me so much with feeling more capable as my graduation draws closer. As you said, some parents rely on school to do all of this teaching, so it is really good for me to watch these.

Reading to kids teaches them to listen not read which is also important..they practice listening

This makes a LOT of sense. Thanks.

Around what age should we start teaching our kids.

But it does help with reading fluency

I have a question... how many hours is the course if you buy all three? How long would I expect to commit to learning how to teach reading? Thanks!

Thanks a lot for your helpful videos... Would you please write the transcripts for videos too , specially for shorts.

How can I teach my 6 year old to read
