  • The playground effect demonstrates why young readers need to train their eyes.

    I search for Where's Waldo by looking left to right, top to bottom - because I am a reader.

    I have reading eyes.

    Learning letters and words is hindered by the way a child looks and hears. If they look and hear randomly while doing phonics or learning a word they will not be taking in the information in a helpful way.

    In this episode I will share a new way to look at students - a playground way.

    I will establish a way to look at letters and words that is more helpful. It is a way to train them. Join me as we help the youngest students to gain control of their looking at print.

About Building a Reader

From the publisher's feed

Welcome to the Building a Reader Podcast, your go-to for teaching the youngest learners the joy of reading. Designed for the kindergarten, first grade and homeschool teachers, this show focuses on how to help you say, "Let me show you how this works." So you can engage the youngest students in phonics, phonemic awareness and reading in a way that results in what I like to call, "No teacher needed."
