My #1 Christmas Book Pick for 2011!

Well, with Christmas less than a week away, I need to hurry and tell you about a great last minute Christmas book to go and get. I just found it the other day at "Seagull Book." It's called "MY TREASURY OF CHRISTMAS CAROLS & STORIES." It's a beautifully illustrated, hard back, 192-page book. Every page is illustrated and the colors are brilliant. It has the classic Christmas stories, plus the words to many Christmas carols. I was shocked to see that it was on sale for only $9.99. But, if not on sale, it's only $12.99. So, well worth it!

Your children will love it! You can sing along to the words of the songs. Maybe read the words first as they are written there. Help them to understand the meaning of these wonderful Christmas Carols. For beginning readers, it is great practice for them to use rhythm and rhyme. And, that is, of course, what songs are made of.

Then for the Christmas stories, let them read them with you. For young children, which is what my program mostly addresses, let them read all the short, three-letter words they've learned from ABC's See How to Chop and Blend, and fill in with the 'a's and the 'the's. Or, if you also have older kids, they can read a paragraph and then you; and back and forth this way. Or they can read one side of the page and you the other. Shared reading is a good way to let your kids see and hear that reading is fun. They will hear the expression you put into it and hopefully try to minic that. Also, it helps it to go by faster. They get to help read the story, but then they get to listen to it also.

And, on a personal note, we got our dental student son home from Indiana on Dec. 10th. It's so wonderful now to have all 5 of our kids and their families near us! Our dental son ruptured his Achelis tendon over two months ago, and is not healing up well at all, so we are grateful to have him here with us so we can take care of him. So thankful for modern tecnology and medications. We truly lived in a blessed era.

I hope to write again before Christmas, but if not, have a very, very Merry one!

Hugs, Doreese

The NORTH POLE is Looking for GOOD READERS!!!

Christmas is a great time to really up the "reading is important to be on the nice list" card! -- ("I'm tired of asking you nicely....." - when trying to get her little boy to put his shoes on since they are leaving) -- Funny that she said, "nicely" just as I was typing "nice li-" +st! I know we all do it! I've been there plenty of years to know that this is the season for children to try to be the best little angels they can so as to get as many gifts from Santa as possible! But, reading is really an important area that I don't feel too bad about using as a motivator for kids to get "moved up" on the list at the North Pole! Especially for those kids that it is like pulling teeth to have them get their reading homework done. And, who knows, after reading willingly for a few weeks, they may just discover that they actually like it!!!

Here's just one fun motivator idea you could use; you DO need to have something FUN to go along with the bribe (I mean motivator)!

My grandson came home from pre-school with a little green construction paper Christmas tree he had made and some little red, foam stockings. He ran in saying, "I get to put one of these on every time I do something nice!" He was all excited to go home and help his mom clean the family room! So, maybe try that with your children and their "reading" rewards. Help them make a tree and then whenever they do their reading, they can add an ornament of some kind to it. They can make the ornaments, or you can find some foam things at the hobby store, or they can just put on a sticker - Christmas ones would be fun!

I can't believe that we are to this point in the year; getting ready for Chirstmas all ready! We still don't have our tree up yet. Hmm, what motivator can I use to get my husband to get the Christmas boxes out tomorrow and set up the tree??? Cookies, a homecooker dinner? (I'm not the greatest cook! Oops! I said homecooker. But, that gives me an idea. I'm going to make lasagna in the slowcooker. He loves that!)

First-Grader Reads on 3.4 Grade Level!

Here is a big SHOUT OUT to Oliver for his amazing accomplishments in reading!

"I taught my son to read before Kindergarten using Doreese Severe's See ABCs reading program. He took off and has enjoyed reading ever since. This year, in 1st grade, my son is reading at a 3.4 grade level and is the top reader in his class. He's in his own reading group because he is so far ahead! When his teacher asked how he is doing so well, I passed on the See ABCs sampler to her. Thanks for a great program Doreese! I am now working with my 4-year old getting her ready for school too! I'm sold on this teaching method!"

- Chris Nethercott

Congratulations to Oliver; and we all know that behind every good student are great parents who are there with their help, suppport, encouragement and love. And, your child doesn't have to be the very top of their class to feel successful. That also comes from the parents. I was a very slow reader, but never felt like I couldn't achieve.

Parents "Great Responsibility" as Educational Support

Hi, I've been absent for the last couple of weeks and haven't had much of a chance to use my computer.

I've been watching my granddaughters full time for 2 weeks while their parents have been out of town. Their dad; for work. And their mom back to Indianapolis to take care of my son after his achilles tendon surgery. Both are coming home today! But, it has been fun to be in the throw of life for a Kin. and 1st grader. See what homework they have and help them. I can't remember those days with my 5 kids. It brings renewed respect for all you parents with the great responsibility of moving along your child's education!

When I say "great responsibility," I mean that as in both meanings of the word great. "Great," as in Wonderful!! And, also "great" as in large, huge!!

It's important to know and understand the weight of and address both. Being able to shape and assist in your child's educational future and watching them progress and grow in knowledge is an amazing experience! Also, you must realize that you DO have a very huge, or great part in making your child's many days and years in school be a successful experience for him/her. The fact that you are reading this right now tells me that you are one of those parents who DOES know you are a vital part of the team for educational success for your child.

See abc's® Handwriting Training Videos

Your kids are well into the school year and working on their handwriting skills. Last year, I shared some cute videos of preschoolers learning how to write by "drawing" their letters and numbers with the See abc's "Magic Finger." Many of you probably would not have seen these, so I thought it would be good to repost them. You will see that it is much more fun to "draw" the letters and numbers rather than just making a bunch of random lines and circles.

Also, I am happy to let you know that you can now purchase "Magic Fingers" separately from the program. So, whether you are using our method of handwriting or another, you can still get our "Magic Fingers" for your children to use. Just go to the "Order" page on our website: www.seeabcs.com

See abc's® Reading Program RECORD BREAKER!!!

I received a phone call yesterday and this cute little voice on the other end said, "I finished reading my book, the red one!" That book is "Imletteration!" the last in the series. The most amazing thing about it is she is only 4 years old, and the youngest one to ever finish my books! I was VERY excited for her. She wanted to come and show me her new skills. So, she came and read shockingly well out of a regular child's story book. Way to go EMILY!!!

It is so fun to watch and listen to her. She is so little, not even starting Kindergarten for another year! Her mother is Amy Hilton that I spoke of in a prior post for starting up a new pre-school in my neighborhood.

It didn't occur to me until I sat down to write this post that she is by far the youngest to complete the entire learn to read portion of the program, and therefore, it is a RECORD BREAKER!!! Also, that makes me feel really excited to say we have someone out there breaking a record for us!

Milestone for See abc's® Alphabet Video!

I'm SOOOO happy! Thanks to your help, little Drew's alphabet video has now reached over 1,000 views! 1,020 to be exact! This is a big deal to me, as I set out just hoping to get 300 in the beginning. I appreciate your help in spreading the word, and in the nice comments you have made.

Pictures of 'G' Geode, One of the See abc's® Clues

Okay, so everyone wants to see my cool geode when they get to the "copycat" letters in the blending book, "ABC's See How to Chop and Blend." Geode is the picture clue for when 'G' copies the sound of 'J' as in the words: gym, gem, gerbil, George, and Geode, to name a few. Geode is the hardest picture clue to learn in the program. Geodes are really cool rocks that have crystals in them. A long time ago, but shortly after writing my blending book, I went to a little shop in Park City, Utah. It's a fun town with an old west feel to a section of town. Anyway, I found this really awesome geode that looked just like a letter 'G.' (Geode is the clue for the upper case 'G')

So, of course, I had to have it!

I am posting a couple of pictures of it here so that you can show your children what an actual geode looks like and have them see if they can find the hidden upper case 'G' in the rock. It is easier to see the 'G' in the picture on the grass. But, the picture on the sidewalk is really neat because it looks like it is just part of the sidewalk! Like there is just a little hole in the cement with crystals in it! It just blends right in.

Preschools Using See abc's®

Hi everyone,

Exciting news for those who live in or near Cache Valley, Utah. I wanted to let you know that there is a new pre-school starting that will be using the See abc's reading program. It will be taught by Amy Hilton. She is very qualified to teach it and has used it with several children, including her own. Her 4-year old is all ready half-way through the "Stories See What They Say" book! And her son knew all of the letters' picture clues and sounds at age two! She will have your children reading before you know it! Her number is 435-535-1213.

Also, Wendy Lamb, has been using See abc's in her preschool for many years with great success. Her number is 435-563-0147.

Another pre-school that I know of in the neighborhood will be using it too. It is a mom's school. A group of five moms are going to take turns teaching. So, this is another great way to do preschool.

If you are a preschool that uses our program in another part of the country, please let us know.

Well, enjoy what you have left of your summer! It is going fast and school will be starting this month! Wow!!!

Thanks for Help in Sharing! Help Us Reach Our Goal

Hey, just wanted to give a BIG THANK YOU to all of you who have helped to pass along our youtube video of 2-year old Drew learning his alphabet the See abc's reading way!

Six months ago when posted, I was hoping for it to reach 300 views which it did within about 3 months and now it is up to nearly 850! I'm soooo happy about that! Now I have my sites set on 1,000! So, if you can think of more people to share this great video with, please do so. You would really make me feel good about what we are doing.

http://youtu.be/Rb_KsspXEMA

Hope your summer reading programs are going well, be it whatever program you are using. Summer is a time to make great progress and get ahead of the game when it comes to helping your kids with their reading, or it is a time to get caught up in fun time off and lose much ground in the reading arena. Unfortunately, too much of the latter happens. Please do your best to keep your children at the top. There are many fun things that you can do to make reading fun in the summer time. If you have any good tips, please share them with us.

Happy Birthday America from See abc's®!!!

Since I'm not going to be near a computer on July 4, I decided to write today. I wanted to tell our great country, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY to AMERICA," home of the free and the brave.

America has a great educational system, due in part to the freedom that has been won for us by so many past and present men and women. And not just on the warfront either. Fighting for better education and better benefits for teachers is a battlefield in each and every state. I greatly admire all of our good teachers and the things they do for the youth of our country. Keep up the great work!

Teaching our youth is what America's future depends on!

Enjoy your watermelon and fireworks everyone!

Let Imletteration® Work Miracles in Summer Reading!

Wow! I can't believe how time has flown by since I last wrote! Well, school is out and now is the time to take advantage of extra time with your children and really beef up on those reading skills and make sure you don't backtrack during the summer. This video shows the new technique of "Imletteration" in use. Once your child finishes the final book in the "See abc's" reading program called "Imletteration!", he/she will be able to read ANYTHING they want to through the help of imletteration! It is the tool that will MIRACULOUSLY change the difficult sight words into easy to read phonetic words. This little youtube video will show you how to use it.

http://youtu.be/Z5hKEi8oWoQ

It may seem that it is too time consuming to stop and imletterate the difficult words for your child. But, believe me when I tell you that your child will learn much faster if you will take a minute to imletterate for her and allow her to visualize the true sounds that the letters are making. She will put that in her memory bank and remember it much easier than if you keep on just telling it to her over and over again. You will probably need to review flash cards you make several times, but it will still "stick" better, much better!

To learn more about the book "Imletteration" itself, go to this video. The video is 9 minutes long, but the explanation for how imletteration works is just within the first 3 minutes. I think you will find the rest of the segment interesting as well since it shows the fun "reward" books that come with the program and ends with two mothers telling of their experience using it with their children (two children for each parent).

#2 Myth About Teaching Pre-schoolers When to Read

The second myth that parents have about teaching their pre-schoolers when to read is that they believe their child with tell THEM when they are ready! I will tell you right now, do NOT wait for this to happen. Your child does NOT know that they are ready. Unless they have older siblings who are reading, they may tell you they want to learn how to read to. But, still quite unlikely.

YOU have to be the one to start them. I have three neighbors now who have children that will not go to school this coming fall - 2011, but will be going in 2012 and their children are reading in the blending book now and loving it! My own 3-year old grandson should be starting this week, if we get with it! Two-year olds are great at learning the alphabet.

The main thing I'm seeing is that children are MUCH more willing and excited about learning to read when they are young (before school and home with mom or dad), and as I said in Myth #1, they absolutely can with the See abc's reading program. I could not tell you that as confidently with any other program, but I've seen it time and time again with this program.

So, if you have children ages 2 or older, think seriously about getting them started because it so much fun for you as a parent!

Preschoolers and Reading ~ Myth #1

Hi,

I want to address a couple of myths that I keep running across with parents of preschoolers in regards to teaching them how to read before Kindergarten. There are two main myths. Today, I will be discussing myth #1. Next week I will cover myth #2.

Myth #1:

Some parents are afraid that if they teach their children any more than the alphabet letter names and sounds that their child will be bored when they go to Kindergarten. This is ABSOLUTELY wrong! The more your child knows before school, the better! I've seen it happen many times. Let's look at the top 5 reasons why:

5. Children are interested and excited to learn at a very young age and want to spend time with you. (They are usually more willing to spend time with you at a young age; before they reach the stubborn stage.)

4. Because with See abc's, they can! Unless they have a learning disability, they can easily complete this entire program before school. (But don't worry if they are still working on it during Kindergarten. It will still greatly benefit them!)

3. They will enter school with high self-esteem because they already know how to read, which makes them feel so smart! Important: Make sure you tell your child's teacher about your child's abilities so that he/she can keep your child challenged, but not over-whelmed.

2. Reading before school greatly reduces the risk that they will not catch on quickly at school, therefore falling behind. This can create low self-esteem, which is very hard to gain back.

1. And the number 1 reason? Most importantly, so that parents can be the ones to give their children the greatest educational gift of all - reading!!! The gift upon which all other education hinges. There is such a joy and excitement for both parents and children that comes from unveiling the magic of the written word.

School Book fairs and You!

Are you a book-fair maniac like me? The other day my 7-year old granddaughter called me - all excited, "Nana, will you take me to my school book fair?" she squealed. And, I squealed right back at her, "Of course I will!"

I LOVE school book fairs. You get wonderful books at a great price while at the same time helping your school out.

My granddaughter and I spent 1 1/2 wonderful hours flipping through and reading fun books. Not only did she go home with books, but so did I!

Reading is a vital part of a child's life. It is critical that as children, grandparents, older siblings and so on, we read to our young children.

Next time a school book fair is in your area, take a child you love to it. Not only will your child remember your jesture, but you will get hooked on book fairs like I have.

See abc's® Blending Causes Deep Thinking!

You can't pull one over on a barely four-year old.

I was making a video of a little girl who just turned four nine days prior. I wanted to show everyone how to work with your kids in the beginning stages of blending individual sounds into words. I like to give hints of what the words are so that the kids will be excited to read it and find out what I'm talking about. So, on our final word, I told little Elise, "This is something that makes us nice and clean." She then proceeded to read the word, "tub". Then she just sat there for a minute in deep thought and said, "Not nice, just clean!"

Her mom and I got a good laugh out of that one! Her mom said, "It would be nice if we could just throw everyone in the tub to make them nice." You never know the fun you are in for when you sit down to teach your child!

See abc's® Students Shine at Parent Teacher Conferences

In January, progress reports began coming in from the teachers. I'd like to share a couple of them with you to give you some inspiration to stick to the program and continue on every day because the rewards are so great!

Both of these reports were for Kindergarten children. One little boy's teacher called his parents to say he was one of three kids that she was going to have to find more challenging books for. The other was a little girl whose teacher said that she was at the top of the entire school district for reading nonsense words - words that are not really words, such as: breek, pid, etc. (I just made those up!) Her achievement was thanks to "Imletteration".

So, keep up the good work, not only for the See abc's students, but to any parents that are taking extra time at home to work with their children. That one on one attention is the best thing in the world to help your child be successful! The biggest secret to these children's success is that they were all ready reading before they started Kindergarten.

3-year Old Demonstrating How to Blend Sounds into Words

Hi everyone,

Many children are now at the point that they are putting the individual sounds together to make words in order to learn how to read!!! Watch this video of a little three-year old showing how to use the blending book, "ABC's See How to Chop and Blend - a Recipe for Reading." I LOVE this book! There are hundreds of words in it and when you go through it reading one word at a time; word after word, you will be laying a VERY solid foundation for your child in beginning reading. They begin with "short vowels" followed by the "long vowels" and "copy cat" letters in Level One. Then in Level Two, they move on to the consonant blend words (words that begin with 2 or 3 letters: trip, street, etc.). And it ends with the digraphs (letters that come together to make a completely new sound; the /ch/ in "chair," and /sh/ in "shine."

See abc's® Third Reading Goal for 2011

It was my New Year's goal to share with you three good reading goals during the month of January - goal setting month. And well, with the first month of our New Year quickly slipping into the record books, here is goal number three.

MAKE READING FUN!!!

The See abc's reading program is designed to be fun without much effort on your part by just using the program as designed. The beginning ABC and 123 books are made to "play" with when using the interactive, tactile steps as shown in my blog post on 1/15/11 with the video of the toddler. Kids learn the alphabet through playing alphabet card games and playing the "Guessing Game" (review lesson in our books). They get to learn how to write by "drawing" picture clue pictures with their "magic finger." They learn the vowels with the fun See abc's Vowel Cheer (see on our youtube channel) - www.youtube.com/user/seeabcs

You can make whatever reading program you are using fun by creating a reading chart for your children to keep them motivated. See video posted on 1/24/11. Every now and then for their reading reward, do something special as shown on our previous posts - an outing, a special date night, whatever you know your child would enjoy.

Do NOT make reading time too restricted, meaning children will wiggle. They are two - six years old! Roll with it! We all know that "patience" is a virtue, and this is a good time to nurture that virtue! One student of mine wanted to read her book upside down, "Phrases See What They Say." So, I thought, "Why not?" She did amazingly well with that! Of course, YOU have to keep in charge, but there is no harm in allowing your child to feel like they have some control over what they are doing when feasible. When they get off task, just gently pull them back on.

Let the child have one or two "friends" (of the stuffed or plastic variety) sit and listen to them read. Funny how this helps. Remember, their greatest talent is imagination, and that is why See abc's works so well for them in the first place!

Choose a time to read when your child is happy - not nap time, not when hungry; you get the idea. Be flexible.

There are a multitude of ways to make beginning reading fun. This is all I will share for now. But, the whole key to your child liking to read or not liking to read, is based on the fun-o-meter that YOU establish! Good luck, and please share your comments of other tips on making reading fun for your child.

Reading Charts and Milestone Rewards

Back in October on 10/21/10, I talked to you a bit about Reading Rewards. Here is another idea for a reward.

My little granddaughter finished the See abc's reading program a couple of months ago. I had told her that when she finished the entire program (the learn to read portion, not the Gumfounded books), that I would take her out to dinner at a really nice restaurant. Just the two of us! Telling her a ways ahead of time gave her something big to look forward to. So, in December, we went on our "date" to Texas Road House to celebrate. The night was all about her. I chose that particular restaurant because they have certificates to give children for a free dinner as a reward for their reading. I have several of these certificates, and if your child has finished the program (or when they do finish it), I would be happy to send you one. Texas Road House does a lot to promote literacy at a child's level, and I thank them for that.

It was a very fun night. Being December, I told the waitress that when I was there last year there was a surprise visit from Santa Claus. She said that he had just recently been there so wouldn't be coming that night. Just a few moments later, and what should we hear, but the jingling of bells and a guy with a beard! Sam stared in amazement as he came into view; the waitress pointed her out - he knew just what to do! He came and he visited her; left a cane made of candy. Boy oh boy, you've never seen a child's face shine more brightly!

She talked about it all night... "And, he wasn't even suppose to come, but he did!" It was definitely a night full of memory making!

After dinner (still at the restaurant), I presented her with an additional award - a certificate from "Texas Road House" and a little bear holding a chalk board with "ABC" written on it! When she completes the fun "Gumfounded" books, she will receive another certificate from "See abc's LC."

Watch this short video of kids having fun with their reading charts and earning stickers and prizes. You will see what a simple chart and some stickers can do!

Second Reading Goal for 2011

Did anyone take me up on making charts for your kids?

For my second goal suggestion, I'm just going to re-emphasize the suggestion that you "read to your child/children 20 minutes a day." However, I want you to think of it as more than a suggestion; make it a priority in your life. The habit of daily reading is very important. For some, the same time of day works best, for others, it is "catch it when you can." The important thing is that you catch it!

Your children want and need YOU. Reading together; you reading to them, or them reading to you, or you teaching them how to read is a very special bonding time, and they will look forward to it. Reading to your child is above and beyond the time you spend teaching them. You may want to separate the two into different blocks of time. I'm not suggesting you set your timer, because obviously there is a big difference between the attention span of a 2-year old and a 5-year old. The point is that you DO IT! Five minutes is better than nothing, just budget that time in your schedule. It will pay off big in the long run!

The second goal for myself is to learn how to download pictures onto my computer. I don't think it's that hard, I've just been putting it off because I think I must be lazy! It just seems like a pain to go through all of those hundreds of pictures that you can take so quickly and find what you want. Hopefully it's not as bad as I've made up in my mind that it is! And now, to find a patient teacher!

See abc's® - How Toddlers Learn the Alphabet

This adorable little 2-year old shows just how easy and early children can learn the alphabet; picture clues and sounds. The letter names are more difficult and come gradually. However, it is the sounds that children need to know in order to read, so we are not as concerned with how quickly they learn the letter names.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb_KsspXEMA

I'm very excited to see that this video has received 95 views in only 5 days! Maybe by midnight, it will have reached 100! This is a record for us! If you like this video, please share it.

Can you see the many senses Drew is using to learn with? Visual, auditory (hearing), and tactile, plus motion (I'm not sure what sense that is, so I include it with tactile). There are three interactive things that he does with this book, which makes learning a fun game. He has no idea how much he is learning!

Doreese

First Goal of 2011 for You and Me

Happy 2011! It has arrived and we should all be revved up and ready to jump in with new conviction to do those things that we want to do, or should I say should do, right? Well, we said that we would give you some good goals to get you going.

The first would be for you to make a reading progress chart for your child. If your child is in the "Imletteration" package, then there are all ready charts in those books. But, if your child is in the See abc's beginning reading part of the program, or has finished the program, you can make your own fun charts as seen in this youtube video below. (If you are using a different program, I would suggest using charts as well.)

You will see what a simple piece of paper, some cheap stickers and a small, inexpesive prize can do to motivate your child to want to reach his/her reading goals. And, you will want to help them to reach their goals in learning to read because, that is reaching one of your goals too! Now, enough talk of goals - go and watch this cute video and share it with others.

Oh, as for my goal; it was to be able to try to remember how to upload a video from my video camera, put it onto my computer and turn it into a youtube for you to see. And, with some frustration and a lot of time, I did it - all by myself! (pat, pat, pat myself on the back!) Hopefully it will be easier next time.
