Brain Friendly Reading is on YouTube
Watch videos on how to implement parts of the program, how to tap the charts and how to play games.
1st Sound Chart (Call & Response)
Tap the chart by listening first to the teacher and then responding. When done daily, this low stress activity brain builds the necessarily neural pathways for letter-sound connections along with phonemic awareness.
1st Sound Chart (Everyone all together)
After children have tapped the call & response video for several weeks and they know the chart and sounds well, have them try tapping it straight through. They can do this alone or with a class.
2nd Sound Chart (Call & Response)
Older readers who need to practice their short vowel sounds and other tricky sounds can use the 2nd chart instead of the 1st. Some teachers like to 'graduate' students from the 1st chart to the 2nd one as well.
Consonant Blends - Call & Response
Use a call and response method for teaching the chart. Let the child practice using that method until the child knows the chart well enough to do it alone or all together as a whole class.
Vowel TeamS Chart (Call & Response)
The child or class can begin learning this chart within a few months of starting the program. 2nd graders and up may know many of these teams but not all of them. Tapping the chart daily helps to move the sound/symbol connections into long-term memory which is an aid to reading and spelling.
Syllables Chart (Call & Response)
This chart is used in a variety of ways. Tapping this chart allows the child to practice the different vowel sounds of the three most popular syllable types: closed, open and Silent E. The chart also teaches the Final Stable Syllable (_le or C+le).
K Chart (Kindergarten - whole chart)
Very young brand new readers benefit from using the K Chart where they are slowly introduced over several weeks to one vowel sound and several consonants. This video is the whole K chart being tapped call & response.
K Chart (Tapped Line by Line)
Very young brand new readers benefit from using the K Chart where they are slowly introduced over several weeks to one vowel sound and several consonants. This video introduces each line from the chart individually call & response).
