Have you looked at your homeschool phonics curriculum and noticed the word 'digraph'? Maybe you've even see the word 'trigraph'? What are these phonics skills, and how can you teach these to your beginning reader?

Digraphs are sounds represented by 2 letters. Common consonant digraphs are 'sh', 'ch', 'th', 'ng', 'ph' and 'wh'. Vowel digraphs (vowel teams) work together to make one long vowel sound. When you teach your Kindergarten homeschooler to read, teach these basic digraphs first: 'sh', 'ch' and 'th'.Ā Ā

What is a word chain? A ā€˜word chainā€™ is a ā€˜chainā€™ of words linked together. In a chain each link is separate, but connected or linked together. A word chain is a chain of words that are similar, but one sound or phoneme in each word has changed from the previous word. For example, in the very short word chain ā€˜rip, sip, sap, sat, your child has substituted the beginning sounds of two rhyming words, ā€˜ripā€™ and ā€˜sipā€™, changed the medial or middle vowel sound, when changing ā€˜sipā€™ to ā€˜sapā€™ and substituted ā€˜pā€™ for ā€˜tā€™ when going from ā€˜sapā€™ to ā€˜satā€™. Tap into the power of word chains to fast-track your child's phonics instruction!

Are you overwhelmed by all the reading homeschool curriculums to choose from and wonder which one is best? Do you wish you had an EXACT routine to follow for your child's daily phonics instruction?

Ā 

I am so excited you're here! This podcast will help you check the boxes for phonics instruction on your daily homeschool reading schedule. I offer you pro tips for teaching phonics skills so that your child can become a confident reader and leave you feeling successful at the end of your homeschool days because you had an EXACT reading routine to follow!

Ā 

Hey, I'm Melanie. I am wife to Bill, mom to three hard-working teenagers, and have been teaching wonderful 4-7 year-old students to read for the last 10 years in a classroom setting.Ā Reading Godā€™s Word, the Bible, keeps me grounded and fills my heart with the peace.

Ā 

As a beginning teacher, I taught kids to read using the wrong approach.Ā Tired of teaching kids to guess what words they were reading by having them look at the beginning letter of a word and the accompanying picture left me feeling defeated as a teacher. My students still struggled to read simple leveled books.Ā 

Ā 

I finally realized that if I was going to teach kids to be confident readers, we had to go back to using a phonics-based approach to reading instruction, which allowed students to build confidence as readers, phonics skill by phonics skill.

Ā 

I discovered a sequential, step-by-step phonics-based approach to teaching kids to read. Phonics skills are modeled, practiced and applied using simple phonics strategies. Kids learn to read simple to more complex texts by applying phonics skills in a progressive, organized manner. An approach to teaching kids to read that I will forever use with beginning readers. And I'm ready to share it with you!

Ā 

Ready to teach your child to read using simple phonics strategies?

  • Works in your homeschool reading schedule (while homeschooling multiple kids with different learning styles)
  • Boosts your confidence because you KNOW exactly where to start
  • Leaves you feeling successful because your child is reading with success!
