You got the top of the line stroller. The organic crib sheets. The toxin-free bottom butter.

If you’re anything like me, you spare no expense to provide your babies with the very best.

But guess what?

We don’t need expensive curriculums and academic-based preschools to prepare our kids for future learning success.

 Sadly, there is so much information floating around the internet that is not serving our children. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why

40% of students are entering kindergarten without the skills to succeed

or why

65% of students in the US are not reading proficiently.

 

When it comes to our kids’ development and learning, let’s look at the research to make respectful, informed decisions that honor their development and one precious childhood.

 
 

Phonological awareness is one of the six critical components of reading instruction, which actually begins to develop in the early childhood years. These skills create strong readers and spellers and are major predictors of success in school.

 

The best part?

They can be taught with fun sound games that take one minute a day.

 

So, what happens if we don’t address letters and sounds in early childhood?

Well, for starters, our kids can begin the most defining years of their academic life already feeling that they’re behind. The social-academic struggle of being compared to other children or being pulled out of the classroom for remedial instruction is damaging to a child’s confidence. If the building blocks of these skills aren’t in place by kindergarten, children are playing catch up from the very beginning.

90% of children with reading struggles have problems with phonemic awareness. Children cannot understand phonics if this critical foundation isn’t in place.

My goal is to equip parents to properly and effectively weave this into everyday childhood (when these skills are supposed to be taught!) that feels both easy to you as the parent and fun to your child. We are not disrupting the magic of childhood.
