When it comes to teaching children how to read, there is only one proven method, and that's through explicit direct instruction. In this episode Edwina unpacks the basic fundamentals of explicit instruction when it comes to the teaching of phonics and phonemic awareness. If we want to give children the gift of knowledge and imagination, we must give them the gift of reading. But for too long, too many people have failed children, and left them illiterate and unable to meet their full potential. The explicit teaching of phonics and phonemic awareness can save children from an uncertain future, and give them the foundational skills they need to grow their curiosity. In this episode Edwina walks you through the step-by-step approach she takes to successfully teach children to read, which in turn has the power to nurture their curiosity and creativity.
