I did this with my son, and he taught himself how to read.

Fantastic ❤
Funny story,but when I took my daughter for an eye exam when she was little, the doctor was sooooo confused and then laughed hysterically. The eye chart with the letters on it? My daughter was saying the SOUNDS instead of the names of the letters. Apparently she'd never seen that happen before.

This is hilarious
You are such a gifted teacher.
Thanks for this. My daughter is almost two and I am already trying to do this with her. Thank you for letting me know I’m on the right path.
I love these. It would be great if you could make a short going over all of the letter sounds, like in a previous video you did, that is only letter sounds and goes a little slower so the kids can repeat after you. Love your content, thanks for sharing!
Homeschooling Mother of 6 here. My oldest is 24, he was reading college level by the age of 4; because of this method. just teach them what sounds say and what letters do, sit back and watch them develop a love of learning Love it!
You are truly amazing. I wish you would have been the one who taught me how to read. I love the way you teach.
Seriously, you are teaching kids in your community to read the same way i was taught to read, and now I get to tell my mom she's not weird. Phonic alphabet ONLY at home from the age I could pronounce the sounds - I didn't learn the actual alphabet until I got to preschool. By the time I was in kindergarten I was the most fluent reader in my class.
Taught him both and even the Spanish alphabet to make it easier to read Spanish and English. Follow this if the goal is just to read English for sure.

I taught both as well at it works just the same. The A says...
Thank you, Sir.
The phones program Alphaphonics is free to download online and is exactly what you're describing! It also discourages the alphabet song and encourages lettwr sounds only. Live this! ❤
Yep! Works for us!!
I am not a native English speaker, however my son is… he is on the British curriculum here in the middle east and they use this technique 1st they focus on the phonics and not much about abc’s Funny story when mi 21 yo niece moved with me to study English what helped her a lot improving her accent was seating with us during homework time 😂 and learning the phonics and sounds of the letters, she graduated with honors on her school 😊
Phonics is how I learned how to read. I was taught phonics in the 1st grade and I also watched a lot of PBS and there was a show called The Letter People whose emphasis was on letter sounds.
Absolutely! I learned to read by sounding out exactly this way.
Very good tip❤ thank you
This is so good. I want my 3 year old in your class tomorrow. Lol. For now I'll get started as your TA.
Great tip!
Honestly never really comment or subscribe but bro you're just that good and different and well needed. Knowledge is so priceless so thank you for sharing it for free. God bless you! ❤ I'm definitely going to do these with my toddler who has CP , these tips and methods are perfect for both me and him. His understanding and me not becoming frustrated or struggling to teach in the best way. Abc song had us stuck NGL.
Thanks you. 🎉
This is the most profound concept on the internet today. Start correctly and simply. Most teachers and parents encourage memorization with the ABCs. The students can memorize hundreds of words and it looks like they're reading. But they don't understand the concept of reading. When they can really read, they can read tens of thousands of words. Start simply and don't move forward until it's crystal clear that your child is saying the letter sound and blending letters together and thus reading.😅
Wowww awesome👍 your teaching skills
I have commented to others that the letter names don't match the sounds that they make & then I've 'sung' the alphabet that way. The letter 'H' is a fun one...lol
Excellent 🎉
Thank you, Sir. I need this.
I'm learning arabic. I so related to kids learning how to read and write ;-) I did just like you do ;-)

I've used this concept with Arabic and other languages as well really good technique.
Do we wait til the child has learned ALL the sounds prior to starting to blend...like the example you shared above "at"? Or can we teach some of the easy sounds then start blending to read? Wanting to make it easy for all, so wondering your recommendation . Thanks for these videos!!

While teaching the letter sounds you can also teach to blend words. Do it as a game before you do it physically. Make the sounds out loud and see if they can figure out what word you are saying. Say make a noise like a c- a- t. Practice like that orally then when they have mastered those letter sounds and mastered hearing the blends orally tou can introduce the sounds written out. Word mastery, a reading program published in the early 1900s goes into the details explaining how to do this step by step. It's free to access online, and pretty much goes through the same things he is here.

What do you mean by easy sounds?
I learned to read in french at 1st grade (french speaking country). I was really confused hearing adult and other children from other school doing ABC while I knew they sounded different. Turned out my teachers were using this method. At 6 almost 7 I was reading paragraphs and paragraphs thought not good with why the adult where calling C (see) while I knew it was "kuh"
Phonics is how we should learn to read., if you teach them to sound it out. Ut works, I was reading at 3. My mom did similar things with me.
I just bought your letter cards and can’t wait to start with my almost 1.5 year old.
Thank you so much.
That’s the best tip yet
I'm Russian and that's how we teach the children to read, although our spelling system is more consistent
❤ awesome teacher❤
I learned this with my daughter because I noticed she was so confused by the letters B,C,D,G etc.... Because saying the names she was confused because they all sounded like 2 sounds, BE, CE, DE, GE
My baby is reading at 2 as well, & how did I find out, well it’s a funny story. We had flash cards that she was gifted for her 2nd birthday that had (2,3,4, & 5 letter words) & she went into her toy box & pulled out the box so we could play with them. As she attempted to hand them to me, the box opened & flash cards went everywhere. Trying not to scold her, I said UH OH, come on, let’s help mommy clean up, & she started handing me cards. ALL OF A SUDDEN, she starts sounding out words & SHE SAYS, mama, CAT C-A-T, BOX B-O-X, MAD M-A-D, I was shocked. I wasn’t trying to teach her to read, at all at this point, BUT, I did make it a point to go over the sounds of all the letters, everyday, as I saw many videos that said, it would help develop their reading skills. I was like LOOK AT YOU, smart girl. GOOD JOB! Her smile was everything 🥰❤️😍. Let me tell you, we are now at 4 & 5 letter words at this point & she’s not even 2.5 yet. LEARNING THE SOUNDS WORKS! This man is speaking truth!
I always take heat for not prioritizing the abcs. I honestly don’t prioritize it until I teach my kids to use the dictionary in first/second grade. My kids were pretty proficient from listening to the song on children’s cds.
You should start your own reading teacher school; wait... you have!
Your amazing 🎉😊
You are the best 😊
I taught my first baby. I possibly taught my 3rd. I didn't teach my 4th and 5th. They are being taught with sounds. I went back and taught my older ones with sounds also. I like it better with phonics than the letter names
But vowels sounds change often. Take for example: live (concert) and live (your life). How do you explain that?
School will teach them the ABCs when they start spelling/writing anyway, right? Learning to read at such a young age is much more valuable.
Well done sir!
Well said
Thank you so much makes me feel like it's doable to teach my 3 year old to read
U r definitely right👌
They need to know both, but I get you. ❤
Can't wait to try this with my son
Where can I buy those flashcards? The only ones I can find have pictures on them.
How did you teach your kid to read the word island? We don’t teach the alphabet to teach reading, we teach it because music is (probably) the oldest way humans have to memorize lists of things. It connects the concept to the shape. The sounds come later, after identifying the letter isn’t a difficult task. You did the same thing, just differently. Which, cool, it’s your kid and you do you, but I don’t think getting rid of the alphabet song is the only way.
Makes perfect sense. Great tip but what does the child say when asked to spell a word out loud?
If we dont teach the word but just sound...woud be better indeed ...but what about school which teach words also...so thats way child would be confused ...any suggestion..
I can’t believe this isn’t the standard way to educate 🤦♀️
My daughters school stopped teaching phonics and went to sight words. The dumbest thing ever.
My mother did something similar and I taught myself to read at 3 years old ,
Focus on the sound! 100%
Oh man, I totally don't plan to teach my boy the ABCs either. I taught ELL for adults and my biggest pet peve was reteaching the sounds after they learned the alphabet. Also I speak and read several languages and can only do the ABCs in one
Amen sir amen

Subtítulos en español porfavor 😅
How do you teach how to read effectively when English a secondary language
My son is almost 2 and seems to have some trouble making the sounds to say the words he wants to say. I want to implement these strategies when it’s appropriate but should I wait a little longer to make this a regular thing to teach? I think 22 months is a bit too young but I also know some people have already been doing this by now. Idk
I wish I knew this when my son was born
Wow
I taught my kids to read using phonics.. it even works for most “sight” words I can’t fathom making kids learn how to read any other way
Where can we get the cards from?

Do kids get confused once they go to school and are taught the alphabet? Just curious to understand how they react to the different approach after having learned this (which is a genius approach btw).
@Sarah-psalm127

It is important to know the letters, so if they have a foundation built on knowing the sounds first then it shouldn't be a problem if they learn them at school. Continued practice and exposure to the sounds is a good idea though.

Yeah, that's a problem I thought with this approach. Society is built on the letter names. "Ey, bee, see, dee, ee, eff". If you go to an optician, for example, they are going to ask you by letter name. Though you might be slow to and the letter names may come harder to mind, you can teach the letter names to yourself as an adult. But if a young child goes to school and everything will be asked by letter names, and suddenly will have to recite the alphabet, because alas that is the approach schools go by, the child would be shocked if taught differently.

@cerebrummaximus3762 this teaches letter sounds first, it doesn't mean you never teach the letter names. Because the letter names are so prevelant in the world they almost get picked up naturally.

And how to teach them that these sounds will change in other words???
We learned phonetics too.
I call this the READING alphabet!
literally no better way to learn(.)
Idk i was reading sentences by 2 and i just learned the alphabet
Question from you because i'm learning to read another language. It seems you are teaching phonetics. How to pronounce words. But what about the brain getting used to the natural process of reading? What i mean is, in russian, it is one thing for me to get good at reading how to pronounce each word. But the MEANING of the word is also reading comprehension. Am I missing something?
