You certainly are an excellent teacher. God bless you young man, we need more African American men to use their gift. Your guys have been blessed by God with tremendous gifts and talents.

I’m so glad I found your teachings! I’ve never felt so confident that by using these techniques I can teach my 5 yr old so much more effectively now! I just watched your videos for over an hour and I’m so excited about what I’ve learned, I’m up at 2 AM printing blank morning meeting templates to start in the morning 😂 Thank you for sharing this with parents and teachers 🙏 ❤

I thank God for leading me to your channel a few minutes ago! Mostly for the straight forward, clear, and precise way you’ve explained this. This is vid number 2 and I’m feeling a little less overwhelmed already approaching the task of teaching my 3, 4, 6 and maybe even my 20-month old to read (?). Thank you! *My 4 and 6 year olds are sitting beside me as I watched just now and were totally engaged and repeating after you 😊

British viewers bear in mind that the American accent modifies some sounds in phonics so best use several sources when teaching phonics to littlies. Love the vid ❤

This is so good. I am teaching at an elementary school, English as a foreign language in South Korea. I agree with all of this. I am struggling because the public school system is failing many of my students. We are not teaching any phonics but expect them to read. I try my best to do the official curriculum and include my own elements, but its impossible to teach them to read with understanding. Some can read, and those kids are the fortunate ones. Some kids looking at the words as shapes and associating that with the word they learned. The system is unfair to those kids who dont have private lessons. I wish there was a way to teach the students this way, starting from the basics but with a class of 25-30 kids who are all on different levels and the school curriculum, its really challenging.

Keep doing what you do, man. I wish this was mainstream. Unfortunately, this is not how many kindergarten classes approach phonics.

My daughter who is 6 showed me a reel of this wonderful guy because we are working on blending! So helpful and even she thought so and that’s why she showed it to me ❤

[varuninadig]

This is the best way explained and easy to follow for a parent who has no clue what to start, how to start and why to start.. thanks for the wonderful video ❤

Thank you so much for simplifying short and long vowels for me. I am currently in graduate school for Speech-Language Pathology and learning about speech-sound disorders. I have been struggling with understanding the International Phonetic Alphabet, so I have been researching videos on English Phonemes. This makes a lot of sense, so thank you for helping ease the stress of grad school.

Phonics was never my strength as a kid. My oldest had hyperlexia early on so this never became an issue. My youngest struggles like I did. After watching your video I feel equipped to teach them properly, now. Your are a blessing and thank you so much.

You are an amazing teacher. Your students are very very lucky🧡I'll start to teach reading my 5 years old kido. Your videos are very helpful.💯 thank you💯

[robynmax]

You teach in an easy way to understand. So good. Play your videos over and over

[brittanyrascoe]

It’s so easy to over complicate things and you make it so simple it seems achievable. God Bless.

[Rochelny]

Thank you for clarifying it for everyone!

[irishdaisy]

Thanks! I wanted to hold off on vowels, but my husband didn't want that. This video helped me to understand how easy it can be.

My daughters sound cards came in today. She’s 20mo. old can’t wait to start with her tomorrow.

[sumnersnowgurl]

Ooooh! I was kinda delaying teaching vowels and have just been teaching some random consonants which I believe is easier to say, simply because I didn’t know how to go about it (teaching vowels). Short or long sound? So this video really helps!

[mrsnurse]

Spencer you should be the Secretary of Education or the head of New York City's school system. God has blessed you with the gift of teaching. I thank God for you. You are helping so many families. I sent for the flash cards, I haven't received them yet. I so excited to get started teaching my great grandson to read. He's in pre-k, and will start kindergarten in Sept 2024. I will send for the reading books also. God bless you and your family.
