Homeschool mom here - I look forward to your videos every Thursday and Sunday to better equip myself for teaching my kiddo. We play your grade 1 math games and phonics poems multiple times weekly. Thank you for all you do Susan!

I did these sound boxes with my kids the other week and boy did they go tot town with them!! It was mind-blowing to see all of them really thinking of how the words fit together. Thank you so much for your AMAZING classes!!

Your videos are amazing. I'm not a teacher but a mom that has no idea how to teach phonics (besides the basics) to my first grader who needs some extra help at home. Your videos are so informative and your materials are immensely helpful. Thank you for what you do.

I'm Mexican and I'm trying to teach children these strategies at a Mexican public school. Thanks to the pandemic, I've learnt a lot of this but it is hard sometimes because when I have a question, I have no body to ask to. Anyway, thanks, it is really good!

Thank you so much for all you do! I am homeschooling & I needed these refresher lessons. They help so much.

I’m a first year teacher, teaching 1st grade. You help me tremendously!

Thank you for making this Susan! We are learning vowel teams now and I plan to use your review activities. 😊

This the exact skill I’m using with one of my reading groups this week. I loved your great ideas and can’t wait to implement them! Thank you!

I'm tutoring a little girl in first grade that's having a tough time reading. Your videos are SO helpful.

Love all your tips! Thank you

Thank you so much! This is definitely going to help 😊

Wow Thanks for your kindness😍😍😍

This is soooo helpful

Thank you very much☺️❤️

i enjoyed it.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! I teach kindergarten and we’ve kind of pieced together a curriculum. I’m curious what you would recommend as far as a process of skills to teach in K after the letters/letter sounds. Do you agree with CVC, digraphs, r controlled, CVCe, blends, vowel teams? I’d love any advice!

Love it! Do you have TPT in c, k ,ck rules? Boom cards ?

What would you do about the kids that are confusing when to use a magic e or vowel team? For example I had a student spell the word late-laite. Thank you!

When having students build sound boxes for vowel team words, can they use one box for digraphs and blends if they’ve already been introduced and explicitly taught those? For example: 3 sound boxes for “strain” = str - ai - n instead of 5 sound boxes for “strain” = s - t - r - ai - n? I love your materials and videos. Thank you!

I continue to teach the Sound Boxes as individual sounds, even blends. Now that you mention combining the blends once they are explicitly taught that could be a new Activity for the Sound Boxes.

Love all your videos and ideas! Do you have any tips for teaching ee/ea and when to use each one? So many of them can be both but with different meanings. Ex: meet meat see sea

One of the rules I teach my kids is "English words don't even in i, u, v, or j." That is why "ai" is never used at the end of English words. That is why silent final "e" is needed in "blue" and "have".

Im tryin to teach my daughter, and I know English but is not my language so i don't know this rules, and that's why im here to learn so I can teach her

Hello, could you please tell me the name of this book in which the exercise is included in your explanation?

Very nice. When do we start teaching long n short vowel. At what stage in Jolly phonics?

👏🏻

Ma'am.. When should the alternative spellings be taught to kids.. Pls guide me on this

👍

I have a question. Now I'm teaching long A sound like 'hat' and 'hate'. I'm confused when it comes to decode 'hate'. So I just decode it like /h/ /ei/ /t/ to them. Wdyt?

😀

I've seen some people using the term "digraph" when referencing the vowel teams because "those two vowels make one sound". What do you think of this terminology?

Hi how are you today whey the ow is the vowles time o vowles but the w not vowles people tell me about

OMG! I am teaching Reading to 3rd graders as a interventions. help.....

I disagree. There is a much better pattern of teaching reading to very small children who do not know how to read and this aint it. She is giving students toooo much information at the same time as if they are expected to read 5th grade books in kindergarten and first grade. No. You only give them books to read with the words in it that they are learning the rules for initially. And when they get it easily they are now ready to add. And what she is calling vowel teams are better taught as special sounds after the students can easily read one vowel and two vowel word books. They pick up all these other vowel teams super easily when they learn this way.
