Learning to read is NOT memorizing sight words. ⁣⁣Teaching reading must be a multi-faceted approach. What do I mean by this? ⁣⁣Our brains don’t memorize things in whole chunks. They break up the information, learn about the pieces and then they put them back together. ⁣⁣For example, when we learn the word “an”, this is the beginning of learning that a-n sounds, make up a word. “An” can then go into other 3 letter words (cvc words) like: ⁣Can⁣Fan⁣Ban⁣Ran⁣⁣NONE of these words should be memorized. Reading should be taught (and learned) as a natural progression from learning the sounds and putting those sounds together to make words. ⁣⁣⭐️ My point, slow and steady wins the race. ⁣⭐️ Some kids take more time to gain concepts. ⁣⭐️ Some kids need a bit more practice and review. ⁣⭐️ Some kids need more time to get over their hump of being nervous to make a mistake. ⁣⁣🖍 Phonics and phonological awareness + time/patience will give them the space to learn, grow and change HOW they need to!⁣⁣Comment below with how you feel about sight words!⁣⁣What are your kids struggling with? ⁣⁣Teachers - Can I help you build your phonics lesson plans?? ⁣ ...

Now that summer is here, I’m getting lots of questions about what you can do to help your child with their reading without too much pressure! ⁣⁣Hey, I’m Kaley or @leapingintolearning. Follow along for more great reading tips that work! ⁣⁣Here are 3 things that are fun AND help build literacy skills. ⁣⁣🌟 Play board games! There are so many great attributes of board games including: building literacy skills through reading cards; math skills through counting; social skills through talking and working together; and the list goes on! ⁣⁣⭐️ Let them choose their books!

I just need to tell you- I’m not perfect. ⁣⁣My kids aren’t perfect.⁣I yell sometimes. ⁣I get frustrated. ⁣I get tired. ⁣I need alone time sometimes. ⁣⁣What we see on social media is often the snippets of greatness. The moments when no one is yelling. ⁣⁣And to be honest- These are the moments I like to remember at the end of the day when my kids are asleep and I’m to totally exhausted. When we miss them?! ⁣⁣Forgiving ourselves when we yell, or get frustrated, or hide in the bathroom, or just need alone time or when our kids yell at us- is imperative. ⁣⁣Let’s remember that social media offers an outlet for some us to follow other people’s lives. But please remember these are the best moments. These are our highlights. ⁣⁣📞 Speak up and ask for help when you need it 💓. ⁣⁣🤗 Forgive yourselves for not being perfect. ⁣⁣💕 Be kind to yourself - tag your besties below 🙌🏼⁣⁣⁣⁣ ... See MoreSee Less

How do you feel today? ⁣⁣No but seriously?! We hanging in there??⁣⁣Hey I’m Kaley or @leapingintolearning and I share Literacy tips that really work! Make sure to follow along for reading strategies that you don’t want to miss. ⁣⁣Now more than ever, it’s so important to ask our kids (and ourselves) how they feel. We’re STILL in lockdown in Ontario, Canada (yep. It’s true) and I’m noticing that my kids are having lots and lots of big feels (more than usual). ⁣⁣We need to recognize that talking about our feelings doesn’t make us any less. It doesn’t make us weak. It doesn’t mean that if we ignore our feelings they’re not there. ⁣⁣When we ask our kids how they feel, they may or may not want to share and that’s okay. But just knowing someone cares is so important! ⁣⁣This chart REALLY helps! Do you use a chart like this? How are your kids doing? How are YOU doing? ... See MoreSee Less
