Easy Kindergarten Reading Lesson

I’m crying because I have been dealing with constant reports that my child is performing below their k5 grade level. This is so helpful as a parent with no level of experience as an educator. Thank you!

This is amazing content, thank you so much!

I would do anything to see a video of this wonderful teaching similar skills to children with autism/adhd/ODD…. Or any other combination of disabilities . I work in public school as a para and I have a lot of the harder cases that can become violent with me and I’m trying soooooo hard to make this work and to make real connections while trying to sneak some learning in there , but it end ups so often with complete refusal to do anything or worse with some sort act of violence against me . Public schools don’t provide teaching at all for us , and I can’t even find anything on YouTube to help paras teach special ed kids that can be violent towards you … we need help .. anyone that can direct me towards somewhere to get the knowledge I need to be able to do this ? I want to be that soft safe space for these kids .. but I refuse to be anyone’s punching bag …. I’m afraid I’m gonna burn out and leave …. But I think I’m such a positive spot in these kids days … but I come home n all the frustration pours out of me to the point it feels like poison .. I hate it 😖.. somebody help a sista out , lol, please !

Dear Mr. Spencer, With much respect and affection, I want to thank you for your videos and also for your email responses. Firstly, from an academic point of view, your videos are excellent. Your methodology is very clear and pedagogically perfect. But, secondly, also your conduct as an instructor. For me, it's very impressive to see you teaching those children with those skills. To put it simply, I wish I could be like you. For me, that is a great job. Truly, thank you, Mr. Spencer. Your YouTube videos are very motivating. Simply excellent. Congratulations and thank you again.

So glad I just found you!! We’re homeschooling this year in kindergarten and my daughter has a hard time staying focused long. Teaching her to read has been a very big struggle so far this year.. Going to be taking your steps! Thank you!!

I LOVE the toy implementation! Keeps them engaged and makes it fun. Thanks man! I teach middle school but my kid is 5 years old 😬 so it’s a switch for her, but she’s mine, so I gotta figure it out.

Love, love, love itttt! Thank you! Was wondering if you could make a video on how to teach different ways of reading of the letter Aa. Thanks again!

Love it, I will try it.

I'm so thankful to have come across your videos. Today after a long day of work, I attempted to work on 5 sounds with my kindergartener. I tried to make it a game and even got big sisters to play along and support. She was having so much fun sounding the letters and "beating" her big sisters and she wanted to keep on going. Wish me luck. I'm working on assessing her sounds knowledge that I can move on to blending. You've given me the confidence! Thank you!

Thank you so much ☺️
