Welcome: Materials List

In the welcome video, I 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, this 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, 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 fluidly, 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. (Doubtless, you have experienced this.) This drill will help stop hesitantly reading one word at a time, aka robot reading.

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.
