Song "To Believe" Will Lift Your Spirits!



This is not anything directly about learning how to read, but I found it to be such a touching and moving message through song that the whole world n eeds to hear. It brings some hope to all of us no matter what circumstances weare in or what things we are trying to teach our children. It helps us look at the bigger picture of the world, and why we are spending so much time nurturing and teaching our little ones to be good, honest, caring people.


This song, "To Believe," will lift your spirits and give you courage to go out there and continue doing what you do day after day. I LOVE this little girl and her sweet personality and talents. Enjoy!

"Toddler Learning Alphabet" Video Continues to Spread!

I just wanted to thank all of you for continuing to talk up the See abc's reading program.

This little video of my grandson has just reached over 1,500 views!!! I let you know when it got to 1,000, and then have been waiting for this next milestone to tell you how excited I am about it still being circulated! You can visit our youtube channel for more short tutorials on handwriting and beginning reading.

Unusual Place to Practice Reading!

My little 5-year old granddaughter brought her sister's ipod into the kitchen to play some songs. She was reading all of the titles as they came up. I said, "Wow! I didn't know you could read such big words!" A few seconds later she said, "It's because of you reading with me."

I wanted to yell, "Wahoo!" because I now know that the extra time I spend with her in my "See abc's" reading books on top of her Kindergarten homework is really making a difference for her! But, it was wonderful to have her validate it to herself.

Pre-K; Start See abc's Reading Program RIGHT NOW!!!

See abc's Reading Program I shared this a while ago, but felt it was worthy of re-emphasizing the need to begin early. Because, if you have a child that is entering Kindergarten next fall, you should begin RIGHT NOW to make it a point to read every single day! Of course there will be those days where it will not be possible. But, if you will make it your goal to read 20-30 minutes a day with your pre-k child, you should be able to finish the entire See abc's reading program before Kindergarten starts. This is the ideal way to do it. And, it's not that hard!

Now read what Chris Nethercott has to say about her son:

"I taught my son to read before Kindergarten using Doreese Severe's See ABC's 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

Way to go to Oliver and his mother Chris for helping him! How would you like to have your very own reading class?! People worry that if their child learns to read early, they are going to be too smart and get bored. Not the case! They just keep getting smarter and smarter!!! This was way back on Nov. 19, 2011. I need to check in with her again and see how things are progressing.
