Carissa Kano, a Maemae Elementary School teacher and UH Manoa Education major created a parody version of the hit song “Ice Ice Baby” to talk about the importance of reading every day and share reading strategies.

Does your child read phonetically or does your child “read” using memorized sight words?
Teaching only sight words to children could lead to reading problems. This may not be apparent early on, but as children grow older with an ever expanding vocabulary, it becomes increasingly difficult to memorize hundreds or even thousands of sight words.
Did you know that…
In the USA, only 37% of all grade 4 students could read at a proficient level... That means 63% of all grade 4 students could NOT read proficiently!
Worse yet, 33% of these students could not even read at a basic level…
Yes, in English there are words that can’t be decoded easily and need to be taught as sight words, but when we only teach sight words to children without learning phonics and developing phonemic awareness, children can struggle with reading difficulties.
Did you know that scientific studies have proven that teaching synthetic phonics and phonemic awareness significantly improves reading and spelling skills in children?
I’d like to share with you a proven effective reading program that combines the teaching of synthetic phonics with phonemic awareness development.
This teaching method is so simple to follow that any parent can teach their child to read phonetically. It does not require the parent to have any teaching experience or any knowledge of phonics or sight words.
The 50 step by step phonics lessons in this program will guide parents every step of the way – taking their child from learning just letters and sounds, to reading words, reading sentences, and eventually reading short stories.
This is the Children Learning Reading Phonics Program. With it…
● You get 2 stages of phonics learning along with 50 step by step phonics lessons to help your child develop superb reading skills.
● You’ll learn techniques and unique strategies to encourage your child to really get into reading.
● You get incredibly fun and effective phonics games and activities to make learning fun and engaging.
● You also get prepared lesson flashcards and printouts. Hit the print button, and you’re ready to teach!
● Not sure how to pronounce all the proper phonics sounds? No problem! There’s a whole set of mp3 audios included that demonstrates the proper pronunciation of all the phonics sounds taught.
Don’t miss this opportunity to enable your child to become a fast and fluent reader.

Did you know that reading can boost a child’s IQ by 6 points? Studies have found that children with good reading skills perform better on IQ tests.

In fact, one study looked at the reading skills and intelligence levels of 1,890 sets of identical twins, and the researchers found that "twins with better earlier reading ability compared to their identical, tended not only to have better reading at subsequent measurements but also higher scores on general intelligence tests."

[Ritchie, Bates, Plomin] Isn’t that amazing? Studying twins allowed the researchers to factor out environmental and genetic factors!

The unfortunate reality today is that many children struggle daily with reading, and this could be due to a variety of reasons. However, one primary reason why many children struggle with reading is due to the teaching of sight words. It can lead to reading struggles when children are taught using only sight words…

Has this happened to you? My child was struggling to learn and reading was a daunting task.

I was almost going to give up. I'm sure you can relate. But then I found READING course and amazingly, my child is enjoying reading and learning.

So true...

The untold story of a mother who raised the inventor of the light-bulb.....and how you can raise a genius yourself.

One day, as a small child, Thomas Edison came home from school and gave a paper to his mother.

He said to her, “Mom, my teacher gave this paper to me and told me only you are to read it. What does it say?”
Her eyes welled with tears as she read the letter out loud to her child…

“Your son is a genius. This school is too small for him and doesn't have good enough teachers to train him. Please teach him yourself.”
Many years after Edison’s mother had died, he became one of the greatest inventors of the century
Now for the mind blowing part...

One day he was going through a closet and he found the folded letter that his old teacher wrote his mother that day.
He opened it…

The actual message written on the letter was:
“Your son is Mentally Deficient. We cannot let him attend our school anymore. He is Expelled.”

Waves of emotion washed over him and tears rolled down his cheek as he read the letter to himself. That very day, he wrote down in his diary...

"Thomas A. Edison was a mentally deficient child whose mother turned him into the genius of the century.”

Listen, this true story is a perfect example that very few teachers will ever care more about your child's education than you as a mother.

The most crucial thing we can do for our child is teach them the joy of reading, at the earliest age possible.

This is an easy reading program designed specifically for parents like you, to quickly have your child reading better than you could ever though possible.

Even if they’re as young as 2, don't know their alphabet at all and currently show zero interest in reading whatsoever.
