Teaching Kids to Read Ages 0-5 Video Course Review

0
0

It is not uncommon to hear parents complain about how their children don’t like to read. L2 was one of those kids, or so I thought. It took me awhile to discover that it wasn’t reading she disliked; she just didn’t like the books L1 insisted on reading. It was only when I started reading books that involved singing, role-playing or where the characters also made certain sounds that L2 started paying more attention.

Teaching Kids to Read 0-5 Introduction

And this is why Teaching Kids to Read Ages 0-5 can be very beneficial for many parents-to-be, parents of very young children and Early Childhood Education (ECE) teachers. The course was created by Bethany Edwards, an international educator with an M.A. in Reading and Literacy, and is based on her twelve years of experience teaching children and her experience as a mother of a young multiracial child. Her course gives students the tools to understand HOW our children’s minds work based on science and different studies she mentions throughout her course, WHY they are or are not interested in reading and again HOW to help them be more passionate about reading. The course helps us save so much time so that we can go straight to simply enjoying reading with our kids. And not only does this course aim to raise little readers, it also invites its students to become global citizens from birth!

A few things though that I would suggest keeping in mind for those who are interested in this course. First of all, it’s not your typical videos which you can listen to while washing the dishes or while doing another activity. Bethany Edwards gives a lot of valuable information and it might be best if you are completely focused on what she is sharing. Second, the whole course can be done at your own pace, and so you don’t have to worry about deadlines or a time limit. Third, there are action plans at the end of each course that I would suggest taking time to implement. Don’t try to rush through all the videos otherwise you might feel overwhelmed!

Teaching Kids to Read 0-5 Lesson 9

Most importantly, have fun. Bethany Edwards mentions several times about how being able to read early will help a child be academically ahead, which many parents like myself love to hear. But we should also remember that she mentions that reading has to be fun and a positive bonding activity. Teaching Kids to Read Ages 0-5 is a great course to maximize your child’s potential, not only as a young reader but also as a citizen of the world.
