The No Fear Reading Program
I teach you how to teach your dyslexic, ADHD, or neurodiverse child how to read. All you have to do is watch the videos, then run the reading exercises with your child for 15 minutes a day, 7 days a week, and you'll have a grade level reader before you know it!
Video Modules & Printables Delivered Once a Week
Each lesson features me working with a parent and student, teaching reading exercises and concepts. You will see me working with actual parents of struggling readers and their children. This is not a talking head format with a power point or an app - the students this course is designed for do not learn sitting stationary in front of a screen.
Welcome: Materials List
In the welcome video, IÂ explain why and how to order materials that are custom for your child's reading level and interest.
You will also receive a materials list with links to items you need to implement the lessons. This list includes construction paper, markers, reading level appropriate books, boxing gloves (you read that right), and more. Everything is available from Amazon or the local WalMart.
Module 1: Fight for the Word
6 Video Lessons
You will learn how to teach your child a word decoding strategy that actually works. No more yelling, "Sound it out!" No Fear Reading teaches children to "Fight for the Word!" They will learn a word attack strategy they can embrace.
Module 2: Speed Cards
3 Video Lessons
Using the 300 flash cards included in this program, these modules will show you how to increase your child's sight word bank rapidly so they can read fluently. This method is based on phonics and decoding techniques, not memorization.
Module 3: Fixing the Phonics
11 Video Lessons
Your child's phonics foundation has some holes. They may be struggling with long and short vowels (pal and pail / hop and hope) as well as blends (br, pl, cr, str) and other important sounds (ph, kn, igh, tion, ci, cy). You will learn to find and fix what is missing.
Module 4: Choral Reading
6 Video Lessons
If your child can't read fluently, they can't comprehend what they are reading: it's that simple. They will read the same sentence or paragraph dozens of times and be unable to comprehend it. This drill will help stop "robot reading" (reading one word at a time).
Module 5: Fluency through Poetry
2 Video Lessons
You will use the immortal poetry in "Where the Sidewalk Ends" by Shel Silverstein to increase fluency. The rhythm of poetry can be tapped into to carry your reader along. This system works because it is not boring. What could be better than a poem about a crocodile that eats a dentist?
Module 6: Reading Comp I
5 Video Lessons
This is why you are here. We had to improve decoding skills and fluidity to get here. You will be able to teach a step-by-step process that will allow your child to pick the right bubble (A, B, C, or D) on the EOGs or other in-school tests. They will learn how to read a passage and answer the questions correctly.
Module 7: Three Word Definition
4 Video Lessons
Children that are below grade level in reading often have a below grade level working vocabulary. Teach your child to use three words, a self-created sentence, and a mind picture to lock in definitions. You will learn how to teach them to "squish" complex concepts into short phrases that are easily memorized.
Module 8: Cooking to Read
2 Video Lessons
Elementary and middle school students rarely make anything except in art class. One of the greatest joys of reading is the power it gives you to create. Your child will be cooking up a treat with this fun activity!
Module 9: Reading Comp II - EOGs
3 Video Lessons
Taking comprehension a step further: how to get it right even if you don't understand a word or even a portion of the content. Don't panic - you can figure it out, I will show you how. Your child will move from printed tests to computer-based comprehension tests and be successful.
Included with No Fear Reading
300 Flash Cards
Grades K-2 are one-sided cards, grades 3-5 flash cards have a word on the front and the definition on the back. Color and picture-free cards are perfect for kids that are easily distracted.
Zoom Check-ins
This is an opportunity for parents to ask questions and get help. During these calls, you become part of a community that celebrates reading victories with other parents, on the same journey.
Guided Support for Parents
Learning "why" reduces frustration.Â
Throughout each module, you will learn the "why" behind your child's reading struggles. You'll learn how dyslexics see words and how ADHD kids process information.
I'll show you how to stop fidgeting and excessive movement when reading, and explain why brain neuroplasticity is a secret weapon. As the parent, this information will help reduce your frustration and increase your patience and understanding.
