How I teach Reading: Real Help to Kids Having Trouble

I was asked to say something about how homeschooling moms can help children who are having trouble reading. This is my method. This is how I taught reading to my grandsons. One of them was being put back in Kindergarten for the 3rd time, during the October of his first grade year. My daughter appealed to me since she was getting nowhere with the school system. He learned in 4 hours! We worked with him in other ways and he excelled. Then, I used the same method on the second grandson who had different problems and then compounded with a serious brain injury from a car accident. He went on to a private Elementary with no one ever knowing he had had a problem. He was on the honor roll for the next two years.

Don’t let bad method be the reason that your child learns that he is stupid or that she is “learning disabled.” Of course, some problems may need some help by skilled professionals, but teaching reading in a sensible, organized, multi-sensory way is a reasonable place to start.

Here is how.

Mindset to Help Your Child Having Trouble Reading, Writing, doing Math, etc.

Today we begin a series on “What to do When the Road to Reading gets Rocky.” The first thing to do is to be sure of your own mindset, Mama. Faith helps in that!

Please! Share with moms who are beginning to encounter difficulties with their children’s academics! Also home educators, especially if they are having trouble teaching their children to read, will benefit. They feel so alone. Here is help! We will lay things out in a fairly orderly way. They want to know… please tell them it is here, now.

Carl Sommer’s Principles of Success

Last week, we talked to Carl Sommer about his books for young children that teach character principles — like the mouse who discovered it was best to pay attention to what his mother said. This time he lost only his tail! And how the bear found his smile.

Mr. Sommer gave us a great discount of 25% this month for typing in the code “great.” This applies even to a subset of his books that have library binding that are already on sale for half price of …. get this… $4.95. We can’t be sure that there will be any of those books left. My librarian and preschool director friends have probably already snapped them up. So go right now.

All of the books are inexpensive for what they are and the 25% discount is great by itself. Be sure to peruse the whole website. You will find some free things. www.advancepublishing.com

In this episode, Mr. Sommer let out that he writes even more than is on www.advancepublishing.com. Advance Publishing specializes in character building books, in a variety of languages, that teach character principles and are acceptable to public schools in the USA. But there is more. He is part of a project that teaches math. He provides the practical lessons, so students understand that math really is needed in the real world. For math resources, all the way up to Trigonometry www.numbersuccess.com. This is suitable for public, private or homeschool educators.

Then, for specifically Christian content, especially success principles for youth, go to www.dovepublishers.com.

Finally, for the the ebook format for the Kindle or iPad, let us help you with direct links. For a fee ebook edition of Education in Crisis go here. And for Teen Success in ebook form, go here. Many of his books are online with various vendors, including his books on Electric Discharge Machining, even a book on sex for young people, and his book

that originally alerted me to his work.

Please let us know which books of his you like most below.
