Reading Tots

Face-to-face classes may be suspended, but our online tutoring continues. ☺️ One of the things I truly appreciate in teaching children this young is the teamwork between parents and teachers. Learning has become one of their special bonding moments, where mothers and children discover together. Parents get to see their child’s skills more clearly and witness their growth firsthand. Yes, teaching little ones can be quite challenging, but it is always fulfilling to see them learn and progress. ♥️

In just 15 sessions, this student can now read short stories! 😊 We started by reviewing how to read and write simple three-letter CVC words. After Kristen mastered those, we moved on to reading and writing words with long vowel sounds. We completed the entire reading topic in just three weeks. Then, on the last two days of our first cycle, she completely surprised me—she was already able to read a short story just like the one in this video! 😍 But that’s not all—I also checked her reading comprehension by asking questions related to the story, and guess what? She answered them correctly and even wrote her answers down accurately. 🥰 She’s excelling not just in reading, but also in expressing her thoughts both orally and in writing. ⭐️ I’m incredibly proud of her progress!Thank you for trusting me. I truly hope her progress in reading continues! 🫶🏻

Watch how proficient this Kindergarten student of ours has become in reading. We are amazed at how well he understood what he read. You can see in the middle of the video how he correctly answered all the questions about the passage. He also applied what he learned about prepositions from our lessons in the past weeks.

It's satisfying to look back at our past videos; he was just learning the sounds of each letter and trying to combine them to form syllables. But look at him now, he can read a short story.

Great Job, Arkin ❤️
