    112. SMART Kids Get Reading Tutors! Really?

    Did you know that SMART kids get reading tutors? You've typed 'reading tutor near me' in search, but actually booking the call leaves you feeling stuck. You know you and your child would benefit from a home reading coach [a.k.a. reading tutor], but the narrative in your mind is leaning towards all the negatives: Your child isn’t supposed to need a reading tutor, so you immediately shut down the idea of reaching out to a phonics-trained reading tutor with early reading intervention teaching experience, who you know could help our child.  People will think you haven’t tried hard enough to help your child read. You think that signing on with a reading tutor always requires a long-term investment of time and money.  I’m here to challenge these beliefs you have about hiring a reading tutor. What if getting a reading could help you: Get reassurance that you and your child are on the right track for phonics instruction at home? Choose a dedicated time to increase your child's reading focus with a reading tutor online? Increase your child's confidence and resilience as a reader with a fresh face, while you take a temporary break from wearing both 'mom hat' and teacher hat'?

    111. Reluctant Reader Rescue: 3 FUN Partner Reading Activities!

    Is your child struggling as a reader? It's time to learn the 6 syllable types for 1st grade reading: Open Syllables A syllable that ends in a consonant and has a short vowel sound (examples: cat, dog, sit).  Word with 2 closed syllables, each having a short vowel: rab-bit, sun-set, in-sect Closed Syllables A syllable that ends with a single vowel and makes a long vowel sound (examples: he, go, me).  Words can be made of open and closed syllables: ba-con, mi-nus ‘Silent E’ Syllable  A vowel followed by a consonant and a silent “e” makes the first vowel long (examples: bike, cake, note) Pan-cake (closed syllable + ‘silent e’ syllable) Be-side: open syllable plus ‘silent-e’ syllable Vowel Team Syllable  Two or three letters work together to create a single new vowel sound (examples: rain, boat, meat). Words with 2 vowel-team syllables: meat-loaf, oat-meal, light-bulb R-Controlled (Bossy-R) Syllable Words with 2 r-controlled vowel syllables: hay-fork, or-chard  A vowel followed by the letter “r” changes or controls the vowel’s sound (examples: car, bird, corn)  Consonant + ‘-le’ Syllable  A final stable syllable contains a consonant followed by “-le” at the end of a multi-syllable word (examples: table, bugle, little, cattle). Only appears at the end of multi-syllable words, or multisyllabic words, never single syllable words   Now that you know the 6 syllable types for 1st grade reading lessons at home, it’s time to figure out which syllables your child already knows, and the next of the 6 syllable types to teach.     Did you know I help homeschool families as a Home Reading Coach [a.k.a. reading tutor]?

    110. 6 Syllable Types to Teach Your 1st Grade Reader NOW (Homeschool MOM Edition)

    How many syllable types are there? There are six syllable types! WHY does this matter? When your child knows the six different syllable types, spelling multisyllabic words (words with more than one syllable) becomes simpler.  In today's episode, you'll learn the six syllable types your child needs to know, so that he/she can become an accurate speller. Syllables are named according to six different vowel types. Because each syllable has either a short or long vowel sound, spelling by syllable type makes spelling simple! Six Syllable Types: Closed Syllable Open Syllable 'Silent e' Syllable Long Vowel Teams Syllable R-Controlled (Bossy R) Syllable Final Stable '-le- Syllable   Did you know I help homeschool families as a Home Reading Coach [a.k.a. reading tutor]?
