  • what I do so you want to grab that book OK that one right there

  • what book is that that's right we've got a hop on pop now I'm gonna see if I can

  • film this it's a little bit hard to see so maybe I can do a split screen or

  • something with this but this is a dr. Seuss book very famous and it's a little

  • bit weird for non-native speakers because there are so many nonsense words

  • in this book but it's really good for just practicing basic things like

  • bindings so are you ready shall we do a little bit of reading together now she

  • can't really read these things she's just starting to read them but part of

  • the reason that we review these things I don't know you're always so excited to

  • read very good oh my goodness okay you ready so we got hop on pop and when we

  • go through these things this is just practicing yellow yellow what he's

  • yellow he's yellow that's right and again we just we kind of let her go with

  • the book sometimes I'll just read it and maybe we'll stop and maybe throw

  • something oh the pool oh there a pool in this book no I don't

  • think so that's right alright well let's begin so we're just gonna read the book

  • and we'll stop this for a couple of things here cup pup-pup in cup cup cup

  • cup on pump all right let's do you want to do hop on pop hop on pop okay so if

  • we I'm just stopping here again like it all depends on if she can sit sometimes

  • she can sit and read for a long time sometimes not so we just go with that

  • and we try not to force her because really at this

  • age it's much more important for her to just be excited about reading and you

  • can do that by being excited yourself so I really enjoy reading and then showing

  • her how easy it can be all right so we've got some letters up here can you

  • find a where's a can I have the book thank you where's a can you find a do

  • you see a where's an a appear on the board use the a up here ah very good

  • all right so they've got a what color is that yeah yellow very good we're gonna

  • put a up here now let's see we can find maybe a more difficult one where is P P

  • do you see a P very good we've got P right here P so we've got P here we'll

  • put a up here where is here's a trick a trick question we've got two letters

  • right here what's this one oh oh what's that

  • o 0 very good so she's also learning about the difference in slight changes

  • in shapes for something like doing numbers zero or doing letters like oh

  • very good so we have a red zero and a purple oh very good that was a trick

  • question can I have the O and the zero thank you

  • so we're gonna put the O up here now when she's first learning these you can

  • see I'm starting with the names of the letters first and the reason I do that

  • is because the names of the letters don't change so in English the sounds of

  • letters do what you're gonna look over there you can go say hello you can look

  • in the camera hello alright come back and sit down we're

  • gonna do some reading alright now let's try where is T do you see T where's T ah

  • that's j j good try g g was this one oh t very good alright so now we have some

  • letters over here and we can practice the sounds of them so we got and we can

  • just practice repeat after me ah hot pot very good all right now I'm

  • gonna pick another letter here we will do what's that hi very good we can put I

  • put I up here and what is this that's H thank you very good all right can I have

  • H now watch this ah pot very good now if I change H watch this war what do we get

  • we get ah was that see it hot bingo very good now if we switch them again

  • look at this pot yeah putt putt oh all right you can't read very good now again

  • we're just training to give her some simple explanations of what letter

  • sounds are even though there are many sounds but that's the best way to get

  • her hello the microphone is on the floor over here and she keeps trying to touch

  • the microphone alright can you sit down we're almost finished or do you want to

  • read the book shall we shall we read the book very quickly shall we read all

  • right so we're gonna try this again try to read the book all right listen

  • carefully up pup pup is Cup pup pup in cup very good you gotta look though hook

  • that's right so even though she's not reading right now she's getting a sense

  • for connecting the sound with the letters just through repetition red red

  • they called me that's right what color is his hair

  • yeah read that's right and so when you read you don't have to just read

  • everything on the page you can stop and answer questions or ask questions or try

  • to get more detailed with it so you can even take a book like this and use it

  • for really Advanced Learner's and it doesn't matter what the age very good so

  • even there like she's just taking the book for me and getting excited oh very

  • good very good that's right very good very good you're

  • gonna read some more shall we finish it well we'll go to the end of the book

  • that's right

  • and again the point is just to get her excited at this age about reading and

  • she's really enjoying it because I started reading a third since the day

  • she was born alright we'll do one last page will do

  • the we'll do the final page with hot what here we go

  • hop hop we like to that's we like to walk over here so we like to hop we like

  • to hop on top oh ha ha whoop stop can you say stop that's right

  • stop you must not hop on alright well again I don't want to have her sit

  • here for too long but one last thing I will say because I got you're gonna run

  • away so I got a an email from a learner and she was saying isn't it a little bit

  • difficult for me to be on these videos and to try to help other people who may

  • be our non-native speakers trying to help their own children learn and so she

  • was worried about that and I wrote her back saying that the most important

  • thing is number one that you're excited especially are you having manju right

  • now you got a snack is that delicious in your mouth in your mouth it's okay you

  • can eat that but the important thing is that you're just number one show that

  • you're excited about learning and that you really want

  • to just again show your children that you're excited because that's what's

  • going to get them excited too it doesn't matter if your pronunciation is perfect

  • to teach someone all you need to do is be one step ahead of that person and if

  • you wait to do that then you're going to just be wasting a lot of time that you

  • could be actually practicing or teaching your kids so you can watch a video like

  • this and it's much better to actually spend time watching something with your

  • kids then trying to just show them something on TV and not watch it with

  • them so watch it with them practice with them just like my wife does or I do when

  • we're watching some TV shows with re in the morning and if we get excited about

  • watching that and we can practice with her and review those things then that

  • gets her more excited as well so anyway don't worry it's the exact same thing as

  • if you were an eye native speaker and learning to speak if you wait until

  • you're perfect you're never going to become a good speaker well Mama's going

  • to be over there but we got to finish the video so don't wait until you're

  • perfect to speak don't wait until you're perfect to start teaching someone else

  • again you just need to be one step ahead it's the same thing even for for me with

  • this business with me helping people learn there's so many things I didn't

  • know about teaching before I started but I just wanted to help people learn and

  • that's how I began anyway are you want to say bye-bye we have to say bye-bye

  • come on over come back here okay well we will see you again very soon again if

  • you have questions about how I'm teaching her or wanted to see more

  • specific things more reading or something like that but this is

  • generally how we do it we just find some time to practice it could be even one

  • minute we just have things like this magnet board or other letters or things

  • at different places around the house so maybe if I'm in my bedroom I have a wall

  • that I can do different drawing on and she does that as well but if you do have

  • questions and you enjoy this do comment below and let me know also if you'd like
