0:00 this is begin reading lesson number one this video is for you if you struggle with reading I am a professional reading specialist dyslexia specialist and the developer of the learn reading program and I'm going to teach you how to read through 100 videos here's how those lessons will work the first 10 lessons are taken from my begin reading packet at learnreading.com you can find them there or you can find them next to the number one in the description below the next 80 lessons will come from my learn reading program and you can find that next next to the number two below and the last two lessons will come from my adult reading class which you can find next to number three in the description below but if you do not purchase those worksheets to
0:46 follow along with me that is perfectly fine I would love to teach you right here for free but you will still need a piece of paper and a pencil to copy the words down so go ahead and pause the video and go grab that piece of paper and pencil and come right back I have two videos for you each week you are free to follow along with me here for free or you can join me at any time in my adult reading class especially if these lessons are a little easy for you and yes I can help you more personally so again that live link is in the next in the description next to the number three if you want an online tutor I have certified and licensed tutors who use my learn reading lessons
1:31 that I can recommend and you will find those a link to those in the description below as well okay so let's get started in our lessons I will be referring to graph themes and phonemes a graph theme is a letter or set of letters that makes a sound such as C is a grapheme but CH is also a graphing because it is it makes only one sound a phoneme is that sound so a phoneme is a sound that is represented by a letter or letters and that letter or letters is called a graphene for instance the first five graph themes that we will be working with today are rtninl then after that we will be work we will be adding just one at a time
2:18 first thing we need to do is make sure that we understand the correct sound for those letters so the sound for the correct sound for the letter R is made by putting the back of your tongue toward the back of your throat almost touching the top and I'm pushing out that sound it sounds like this it's a pushing sound make sure there's not a r at the end your jaw shouldn't drop it's not ra it's ER the sound for T is a voiceless sound only air no voice it's kind of like a spitting sound it will sound like because for n is made with your tongue touching the roof of your mouth and staying there so the sound for n is be careful that it's not nah again your
3:06 jaw shouldn't drop there's no uh on the end it just simply um the sound for I is made with your mouth long and narrow with your teeth only open wide enough that a piece of paper can come through for the sound for the short eye is don't open your mouth anymore or it will turn into e and that's a short e sound so you have to keep your mouth nice and narrow the sound for the short I is e the sound for L is made by your tongue going up behind the top teeth the sound for L is oh so we are going to use those graph themes now to begin reading so I'm going to share my screen and these are the lessons that you are
3:53 free to download and print on your own or you don't need them you can just look at my screen with me and make sure that you copy these on a piece of paper at home though because I'm going to teach you how to pencil read you need a pencil to be able to make sure that each graphene is red and it doesn't get left out or extra letters don't come in or sounds don't get in the wrong order putting that pencil in your hand makes it a multi-sensory experience you're going to hear what you're going to see what's on the paper you're going to hear what you say and you're also going to feel it so you're going to use a lot of senses and making sure those crackings
4:40 get in the right order this is how we pencil read you're going to put a dot underneath each sound as you say it and then you're going to connect those dots all in one breath to read the word for instance I will do number one for you and then I will guide you through the others so for instance for the E first we're going to mark that vowel I'm going to mark it with what's called a brev that tells me that that is a short vowel sound a breath is just a curved line and it goes over all short vowel sounds and here's how you can know that that is short vowel sound and this is really important a vowel will typically make it short sound if one of the next two letters is not another vowel in other words a vowel will make a short
5:27 sound if the next two letters are consonants or if it's a one consonant and then nothing so we are going to Mark our vowels always before we pencil read so your brain knows what that letter is going to say before you read it we're not ever going to guess we're going to know what the vowels will say based on your R and the word and the letters that surround it so I'm going to mark that I with a breath because I can see by tapping the next two letters I call this the Tab 2 rule coming to a thumb you tuck the next two letters one two both of those are not another vowel or in other words they're consonants or a consonant and a space so we know that that eye is going to make the short I sound e
6:12 and that is marked with that curved line called a brev and then we're going to pencil read so first I'm going to mark it and then this is what I want you to do with your pencil also you're going to put a dot underneath each sound as you say it so it's e hmm and then you're going to connect the dots slowly all in one breath in now I'm going to have you do it on your own while I am quiet so you can work and then I will go over it with you so we're actually going I'm going to mark it with you as you do yours so you can look at mine if you want to but I'm going to let you pronounce it on your own go ahead
7:03 so the sound for I is e because the next two letters aren't neither one of them are vowels so when we pencil rate that word it is e it let's try the next one go ahead and work well I'll be quiet while you work the sound for I is e because neither of the next two letters are vowels when we pencil read that word it sounds like oh and when we connect the dots it's lit
7:51 if you grow up here I just have a couple more [Music] yeah while you work so our vowel says our sounds aren't hmm and when you connect those dots it's in chin be careful that your mouth is nice and narrow so that the I comes out as e because we want tin like a tin can and not e like 10 or the number 10 so that it and E are really similar and they're often
8:37 confused so make sure that when you make the if sound that your mouth is as narrow as possible so the a comes out and not e and the word is tin and not ten and certainly not ten we're going to get to that at in a little bit but for now we're working with a okay let's go ahead and do that last word here oh you see it has two L's when you see two of the same letter it only needs one dot because it only makes one sound we know the I is going to say e because the next two letters are consonants when we pronounce those sounds it sounds like
9:25 when you connect the dots it's chill till now you have done it and I bet you have done it correctly the rest of these words are if you have the printed version of this of these lessons again which you can get next if there's a link next to the number one below but you don't need to buy anything you can just meet me here I will be teaching these lessons on YouTube twice a week for a hundred lessons they're starting easy but they're going to work their way um harder and harder I'm going to go nice and slow we're going to have lots of practice and if you have any questions put them in the comments and we'll do my best to answer them so I will see you next time
