    Message to the Students:

    Dear Teachers/Parents,

    Please tell your student the following message from me:

    "In this video, we will learn the sounds and names of all the letters in the alphabet.  Practice this lesson until you know the sounds of the letters well.  This step is very important to make reading easier!  You can do it!"

    For Parents/Teachers:

    If you are working with a young person, then use the flash cards.  If working with a teen or young adult, then you may want to use the list instead.  However, older people may enjoy the flash cards too.

    How To Make the Flashcards:

    After printing out the flash card pages, then I suggest you copy them carefully, back-to-back, so that the animal images are on the back of the appropriate letter.  The alligator must be on the back of the Aa card.  Then choose a bright, colorful card stock paper for copying. Then, laminate for longer lasting wear and tear, for working with children. 

  • Vowel Practice1:59

    Message to the Students:

    Dear Teachers/Parents,

    Please tell your student the following message from me:

    "This is a lesson teaching the 5 vowels and their sounds.  It is important to know the difference between these letters and their sounds, so practice these and listen and watch me carefully.  You are learning so much, and your brain is getting smarter!"

  • Let's Test Your ABCs!5:08

    Message to the Students:

    Dear Teachers/Parents,

    Please tell your student the following message from me:

    "Here is a fun little test to see if you know the sounds of these letters!  Good luck!  If you don't know them well, then keep working on letter sounds before you go to reading Lesson 1.  Don't give up!  I believe in you!"

  • Step 2 - Blending Sounds Into Words5:52

    Message to the Students:

    Dear Teachers/Parents,

    Please tell your student the following message from me:

    "In this lesson we will learn how to blend the letter sounds into words. This is an important skill to practice several times before starting Reading Lesson 1.  Good job!  I know you can do it!"

Description

This course is the first of five, and includes Lessons 1-20 of the Ready, Set, Read: Reading Program (100 lessons in all).

Ready, Set, Read, taught on video by teacher and author, Vera Clark, teaches a person how to read fluently, using the phonics-based, Ready, Set, Read: Reading Program. Beginning with learning the sounds of the letters, then learning to blend letters to make words, I then teach 100 reading lessons leading to fluent reading at a 6th grade level approximately. (Each lesson is about 10 min., but Lesson 1 is 17 min.)

Lesson 1 starts out with 3 letter words with 'an' plus four simple sight words in a vocabulary box, then uses them in short sentences. By Lesson 20, the student will be reading fluently sentences containing any of the 5 short vowels, double consonants and "ck." The plan is to slowly build reading skills with each lesson, until complete reading fluency is mastered at approximately a 6th grade level by Lesson 100. Each lesson is two pages long, shown on screen as well as attached as a resource for printing. A student should continue practicing each lesson with me until they can read it well by themselves, then they progress to the next lesson. Students should not progress to next lesson until they have fully mastered the one they are on.

There are five courses, each containing 20 reading lessons on video. This course is appropriate for young children, as young as 3, if they are alert and able to focus attention, as well as for adults. All ages enjoy the adorable dog, Buddy, who points to the words being read, as well as the pleasant music.

I Will Teach You To Read! - Course #1 print the following:

*Success Chart your "log" to chart student's progress. This chart motivates the student. Parents or tutors may offer an incentive to the student for reaching certain goals.

*Flash cards for learning the sounds of the letters.

*Print the List of ABC sounds and pictures (which contains the same info as the flash cards, but in list form).

*Print the Lesson Index, which lists the skills being taught in each lesson.

*Print the Reading Lessons, for student practice and independent reading.

Finally, you have an easy, fun way to learn to read, with short lessons, which motivates your student to learn! Let Vera Clark teach your student to be a confident reader with Ready, Set, Read!

Who this course is for:

  • Appropriate for children and adults.
  • Ideal for beginners, as well as people who want to improve their reading.
  • Lessons are approximately 10 minutes. Short lessons help keep students interested and motivated. If a person can read, but not proficiently, then I recommend they start at the beginning, and lay a solid foundation for future success with confidence. (Lesson 1 is 17 min.)
