“Read alouds are one of the simplest—and most powerful—ways to build a reader.

It’s not just storytime… it’s instruction.

When children listen to books, they’re hearing the sounds of language, which supports phonics.
They’re seeing and hearing words over and over again, which strengthens word recognition.

They’re also listening to fluent, expressive reading—which is something they can’t yet do on their own.

And most importantly, they’re making meaning.
They’re building vocabulary, background knowledge, and comprehension.

But beyond the skills…
they’re building a connection to reading.

And that’s what makes it stick.

Read aloud. Build the reader.”

Comprehension is our end goal. Simply put, comprehension happens all along the reading journey at the intersection of decoding words, recognizing words and what they mean, and reading with a smooth pace….it’s like magic!

Sight Word learning and practice can be stressful for early learners because there’s a level of unnecessary pressure to know so many words in a short period of time. Let’s take the word recognition pressure cooker out of the picture so that learning to know words “on sight” becomes about skill and efficiency so that accurate meaning can be achieved.

Phonics is like a puzzle, like locks and keys, like bricks that make a building. Letter/sound patterns come into view, become more familiar, and expand the reader’s ability to make words. It’s a work of art, it is! It’s both a challenging and awe-inspiring skill. It’s builds reader confidence and reading capacity. I’m looking forward to sharing more on this with you!
