How Panicked Dad Took His Son From bottom of his kindergarten class to the top in just 1 month
After my son's kindergarten teacher told me in my first parent-teacher conference ever that my son's reading ability was below grade level, he did not meet expectations, and his vocabulary was lacking for his age.
I knew I had to rise to the challenge; I did not want to be the reason my child was not performing well in school. I made it my sole purpose in life to ensure my son quickly got his grades up by the end of the year. I never wanted to have to worry about my child's success in school again.
Then it hit me. If you've ever been around a baby at all, you can agree that they soak up language like a sponge. It's almost like they can't help themselves. It's almost like they were born to learn languages naturally. But babies don't study grammar rules, take vocabulary tests, or sit in classrooms to learn how to speak.
In fact, we don't have to teach babies to speak at all. They just do it by learning the way that humans have been learning for thousands and thousands of years.
Listening.
After tirelessly digging up endless research, I stumbled on the reading solution that I laid out step by step in my book and audiobook. Get it here.
When I stumbled on it, it made sense because I remembered that's actually how I was taught to read. You see, I didn't actually start attending school in the United States until the 5th grade. The way I was taught was to sound out words.
Let me explain: instead of teaching your child to read the word as a whole (sight word), what if we separated each letter and then taught the sounds of each letter that make up the word? For example, "Apple" becomes "A-P-L" and the sound is "A-Pa-L"
Using this very knowledge, I would then go on to spend several weeks expanding on this idea and creating even more advanced concepts on how to teach a child to read quickly.
Long story short
Now, a little over one month from the day we first started, I received a phone call from a blocked number. With no idea who was on the other line, it took me by surprise to hear it was my son's kindergarten teacher.
"Mr. Largie," she said in almost a tone that sounded like I was about to receive some bad news. What on God's green earth have you been doing with your son to take him from the bottom of my class one month to the top of my class the next? The pure volume of excitement in her voice was satisfying to hear.
I spill all the beans about my proven 20 Minutes/Day system, which enables any parent to teach a child to read faster + better than kids 2-4 years older than them in my new book.
