My nephew is 6 and cannot read or write. He has such a short attention span and a speech problem, but I am determined to teach him over the summer.

I learned to read before kindergarten by reading with my parents, so no phonics there. The first I remember being taught phonics was 2nd grade and by then it seemed pointless and I hated the subject because it didn't make sense to me. Now I'm getting ready to teach a K-1 blended class and am panicking because I realize I don't know the phonics of the sounds the letters make so I'm cramming before the start of school.

For sure everyone learns differently!! It's great to reflect on how you learned as a child. Best of luck as you enter this school year!

Anyone else here bc they have a baby and are terrified by all the 8-12 year olds that can’t read so are now cramming phonics to teach them as early as possible?

Yeah, I’m a reading tutor and have witnessed that Covid time off from school really messed kids reading progress up across the whole country.

Clear and practical.

I remember the “plaid” phonics books! I liked them as a first grader.

That was superb! Thank you.

Quite interesting information.

great job

Thanks

I learned by sight many years agp

When I was in Kindergarten the school system in FL used Letter People

I was in k-2 in the early 90s, (public school) so I remember having hooked on phonics books... and instruction

I mean as a mom of a four-year old who wanted to read, and took off like crazy, I feel like we defaulted to incidental. But she can read so well (hundreds of books). We have done a mix (word family books, sound books, decodables).

Different kids definitely need different methods! That's great that your four year old had so much success!

Good video. I'm a primary teacher but rarely teach phonics because I teach higher years

Great!

Curious if you remember being taught phonics as a student yourself, and if so, what method was used? Let me know in the comments.

1960s In Kansas, there was no phonics taught. We had programmed reading. Read at your own pace.

I was taught phonics, systematic, explicit & synthetic - however, I do also remember lessons in the other styles. We had books at home, books on cassette (my cassette reader was mother-goose shaped, I loved it) and I was reading at "an 8th/9th grade level" in 5th. I am utterly shocked at what has happened in schools over the last few years with regard to literacy.😟 Shout out from 2024.

I Was never taught any phonics really… actually back in the ‘80s phonics lessons was only for slow readers

Are you looking for a resource or a video?

I only remember Dick and Jane (1st?) and SRA (4th maybe?).

Something I'm confused with on phonics is how to sound them out. Thake the word lemon. Is it LE-M-O-N L-E-M-O-N L-E-M-ON Or something else?

Technically it would be "l-e-m-o-n," sound by sound. But eventually you can learn to divide words like this into syllables and blend that way!

@@learningattheprimarypond how do you know whether to teach them sound by sound or by blending them? Can you point me to any resources for teaching phonics? Thanks again!

May I ask what your thoughts are on me using dash into reading? Would you recommend to teach reading? If not which curriculum would you recommend other than all about reading and logic of English?

Hey! I personally do not have experience using either of those programs. I did recommend a few pillars for phonics programs in this blog if you want to read through it: learningattheprimarypond.com/blog/5-things-to-look-for-when-choosing-a-phonics-program/

I don't understand how if people are taught to read using phonics why do we call a bottle of water to sound like Boddle of wader. Or Fiddy Cent.

Too much to take bcoz of continuos explanation

No phonics trying at all.
