00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:08.510
Hello parents. You know the
feeling.

00:00:08.680 --> 00:00:10.949
Your child is smart, they love
stories,

00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:14.179
but when they look at a page of
text, they hit a roadblock.

00:00:14.479 --> 00:00:17.790
Reading is slow, sounding out
words is a painful puzzle,

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.099
and you worry they're falling
behind.

00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:24.540
If that sounds familiar, we have
an exciting solution.

00:00:24.840 --> 00:00:26.829
We're talking about phonics for
reading,

00:00:26.959 --> 00:00:30.909
a powerful laser-focused program
designed to move your child off

00:00:30.909 --> 00:00:34.909
that roadblock and onto the
clear highway of reading success.

00:00:35.380 --> 00:00:37.009
This isn't just another class,

00:00:37.180 --> 00:00:40.860
it's a focused acceleration
program to make decoding words

00:00:40.860 --> 00:00:42.860
second nature.

00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.319
Imagine every single word in the
English language is protected

00:00:47.319 --> 00:00:48.659
by a secret code.

00:00:48.959 --> 00:00:52.430
For some children, that code
just doesn't click naturally.

00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:56.240
Phonics for reading is a
dedicated key that explicitly teaches

00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:59.299
them every rule and pattern of
that code.

00:00:59.599 --> 00:01:04.620
This program is built on 3
pillars. One, it's explicit.

00:01:04.870 --> 00:01:08.490
There's no guessing. The teacher
directly announces the rule.

00:01:08.790 --> 00:01:11.819
When you see an a followed by an
I,

00:01:12.029 --> 00:01:16.069
the letters whisper to each
other and say the long a sound.

00:01:16.309 --> 00:01:20.309
We teach the rules simply and
clearly.

00:01:20.620 --> 00:01:22.290
2, it's intensive.

00:01:22.540 --> 00:01:26.209
Students get frequent focused
practice often every day.

00:01:26.419 --> 00:01:29.040
This consistency is how the
brain turns a slow,

00:01:29.139 --> 00:01:34.830
hard skill into a fast automatic
reflex. 3, it's fast paced.

00:01:35.099 --> 00:01:38.370
Lessons are quick, high energy,
and highly interactive.

00:01:38.660 --> 00:01:40.099
Students are always engaged,

00:01:40.180 --> 00:01:42.330
often responding together in a
group,

00:01:42.529 --> 00:01:45.919
ensuring every minute counts
toward building muscle memory for

00:01:45.919 --> 00:01:48.959
reading. The value here is
efficiency.

00:01:49.169 --> 00:01:52.599
We quickly teach the core
decoding rules so your child can stop

00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.769
struggling with words and start
falling in love with reading

00:01:55.769 --> 00:01:57.320
again.

00:01:57.620 --> 00:02:01.120
You know how exhausting it is
when your child struggles to read.

00:02:01.370 --> 00:02:03.080
Every syllable is a mountain.

00:02:03.370 --> 00:02:07.010
This fatigue prevents them from
understanding the story because

00:02:07.010 --> 00:02:09.940
all their brain power is focused
on decoding.

00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:12.039
Phonics for reading builds
fluency,

00:02:12.289 --> 00:02:15.550
which is the ability to read
accurately and with speed.

00:02:15.850 --> 00:02:18.889
Fluency is the essential bridge
that carries a student from

00:02:18.889 --> 00:02:22.889
simply reading words to
understanding and enjoying the story.

00:02:23.309 --> 00:02:24.860
When they can decode quickly,

00:02:25.070 --> 00:02:28.419
their brain is free to think
about the characters, the plot,

00:02:28.500 --> 00:02:31.740
and the ideas. By making
decoding automatic,

00:02:31.949 --> 00:02:34.339
we are giving your child the
gift of confidence,

00:02:34.550 --> 00:02:38.110
the feeling that they can tackle
any word on the page in any

00:02:38.110 --> 00:02:38.619
subject,

00:02:38.869 --> 00:02:42.679
paving the way for success in
all their future schooling.

00:02:42.979 --> 00:02:45.770
You are the most valuable
partner in this process.

00:02:46.059 --> 00:02:47.899
Your job isn't to teach phonics,

00:02:47.910 --> 00:02:49.710
it's to be their supportive
coach,

00:02:49.940 --> 00:02:51.959
keeping the learning light and
fun.

00:02:52.259 --> 00:02:55.550
Here are 3 simple ways to
reinforce their work at home.

00:02:55.850 --> 00:02:58.160
One, the 5 minute speed review.

00:02:58.410 --> 00:03:01.000
If your child brings home word
or sound cards,

00:03:01.250 --> 00:03:04.080
spend just 5 high energy minutes
practicing.

00:03:04.369 --> 00:03:06.919
Focus on speed, challenge them.

00:03:07.169 --> 00:03:10.809
Can you say all 10 of these
sounds faster than mom or dad can

00:03:10.809 --> 00:03:15.800
count to 15? Make it a race. 2,
the power of 3 reads.

00:03:15.970 --> 00:03:18.559
When they read a passage or a
decodable story,

00:03:18.729 --> 00:03:20.990
encourage them to read it 3
times.

00:03:21.210 --> 00:03:23.569
The first time is to get the
words right.

00:03:23.869 --> 00:03:26.489
The second time is to read it
faster.

00:03:26.789 --> 00:03:30.450
The 3rd time is to read it with
great feeling and expression.

00:03:30.750 --> 00:03:33.970
Repeated reading builds fluency
like nothing else.

00:03:34.270 --> 00:03:36.100
3, celebrate the shift.

00:03:36.350 --> 00:03:38.960
Notice and praise when they use
their new skills.

00:03:39.190 --> 00:03:41.800
If they sound out a tough word,
say, wow,

00:03:41.990 --> 00:03:43.979
you used the perfect rule there.

00:03:44.229 --> 00:03:47.059
Your hard work in that group is
really paying off.

00:03:47.350 --> 00:03:50.489
Your encouragement is their
fuel.

00:03:50.789 --> 00:03:54.100
We are so excited for the
progress your child is going to make

00:03:54.100 --> 00:03:55.539
with phonics for reading.

00:03:55.750 --> 00:03:59.270
This intervention is a proven
direct route to giving them the

00:03:59.270 --> 00:04:02.270
decoding power they need to be
strong, confident,

00:04:02.350 --> 00:04:04.050
and joyful readers.

00:04:04.350 --> 00:04:07.139
Please connect with our parent
coordinator, Daisy Garcia,

00:04:11.830 --> 00:04:14.710
They can share the specific
skills your child is focusing on

00:04:14.710 --> 00:04:18.210
this week, so you can target
your home practice perfectly.

00:04:18.510 --> 00:04:20.880
