How to Teach Your Child To Read at Home in DAYS - Frederick: Learn To Read App

If your child is two or older and just beginning to read, or they’re falling behind because

of poor reading skills, keep watching this incredibly important video to see how to transform

your child into a confident reader in DAYS, right in your own home, WITHOUT any complicated

lessons, and even if you don’t know a thing about how to teach reading. Stay until the

end of this video and I’ll even show you how your child can begin improving today,

absolutely free!

I really have some potentially life-changing news that I know you’ll want to hear, but

before I share it, here’s why I can help you.

My name is Drew Badger, and for over 15 years, I’ve helped hundreds of thousands of children

and adults become successful readers and speakers of English. My English education channel here

on YouTube has over 1 million subscribers, and my video series specifically on how to

teach reading to children has millions of views. I’m also a father using the exact

same system I’m going to share with you to teach my own children to read, a system

you won’t find anywhere else. And I know the problems many students experience because

I also struggled with reading as a child.

I still remember sitting with my mother as an elementary school guidance counselor told

me that I was two years behind where I should have been in my reading skills. Two years!

I’ll never forget the embarrassment, sadness and disappointment I saw in my mother’s

face when she heard I was so far behind my classmates.

What I didn’t know at the time is that my situation was very common. So if you’re

also confused or worried about how to teach your child learn to read, or if your child

has struggled with reading in school, it’s not your fault. And, you’re definitely not

alone.

According to the US Department of Education and the National Institute for Literacy…

1 in 4 children grow up not knowing how to read.

19% of high school graduates cannot read. And more than 30 million adults cannot read.

That’s 14% of the population!

Even a quick Google search shows just how widespread this problem is. Type in just “my

child hates” and you’ll see that most of the autocomplete results are related to

reading and school.

Almost daily, articles in major media outlets announce a literacy crisis as schools fail

to meet basic standards, and many children fall further and further behind. Journalists

report on “Reading Wars,” where parents, schools and teachers debate the best ways

to educate our children. And with good reason.

Early reading ability has been shown to predict future academic success. Children who learn

to read at a young age become more self-confident and self-reliant, while children who struggle

with reading lose academic motivation as they get older. These struggling students come

to see reading as boring and difficult, leading to further problems and frustrations in ALL

school subjects. They also become much more likely to develop emotional and behavioral

problems that can continue into adulthood. Imagine how you’d feel if you couldn’t

read your bills, fill out a job application, or even write a thank you card to your own

mother.

Fortunately, no child has to experience this grim future because there is a proven, guaranteed

way to teach any child to read that I’ll reveal right in this video. But to understand

what works, you must first see why so many school programs and home reading systems fail.

In many reading lessons, students are only taught to memorize frequently used words.

But this only teaches children to RECOGNIZE words, not how to understand and read words

by the sounds of their letters. I’ll explain a bit more about this in a moment, but if

a mechanic learned this way, they would only be able to identify cars by their shape, rather

than understand how cars are made of different parts.

Classroom lessons that do teach the rules for how letters make sounds are often boring,

confusing and forgettable. The pace of these lessons is also often too fast or too slow

for many children.

Home study video, audio, textbook and software courses aren’t much better. These programs

can be confusing to use, and they often make parents learn a lot of complicated theory

and vocabulary about literacy instruction – things like phoneme categorization, phonemic

isolation and word segmenting – BEFORE the child can learn a single word!

This inefficient approach would be like me trying to teach you computer programming by

first teaching your grandmother, who would then teach you. Sounds like a recipe for a

LOT of error, doesn’t it?

So what’s the solution? How can you help your child learn to read quickly and easily,

without needing a master’s in education?

Well, here’s the plain, no-nonsense truth, WITHOUT all the academic lingo. Reading experts

have long agreed, and study after study has proven, that children need three things to

become excited, confident and successful readers…

1. They must learn the rules for how letters make sounds, like how the letters C, A and

T make the sounds c-a-t to make the word “cat.”

2. Children must also learn some commonly-used words that BREAK letter-sound rules. An example

is the word “the.” This word looks like it should be pronounced “th–e.” But

it’s really “the” or “the.” Luckily, there aren’t too many of these “rule breakers,”

and they’re used often enough that they’re very easy to remember.

3. Children must move beyond words to longer sections of text to develop reading comprehension,

confidence and fluency.

That’s really all there is to it.

The trick is to make all of this fun and easy for your child so they’re never frustrated

or bored. And for that, here’s THE BIG SECRET you’ve been waiting for…

Right now, think about the last time you were reading a novel about some mystery, or watching

some crime thriller on TV. There was probably some moment when you discovered the answer

to the mystery, or the identity of the killer, BEFORE the characters in the story. And when

you made the discovery, you probably said something like, “I KNEW IT!”

The solution came to you IN A FLASH, and you felt great about it, right? Well, this is

what happens when you DISCOVER the answer to a problem all by yourself. These experiences

are also VERY MEMORABLE, aren’t they? They makes us feel powerful, confident and in control

because WE found the solution, and we LOVE our own ideas.

So what’s this got to do with teaching reading? If you haven’t realized it already, the

REAL secret to transforming children into confident, excited readers incredibly fast

is to let them DISCOVER the rules of reading by themselves, rather than by learning rules

in some boring, forgettable lesson.

You see, just as we naturally LOVE to discover answers and solutions for ourselves, we equally

HATE when others tell us what to think, or when we’re robbed of a chance to solve a

mystery.

Think of how you feel when someone ELSE spoils a movie for you by telling you what happens,

or when someone solves a puzzle before you get a chance to solve it yourself.

Well, this is exactly how a child feels when they have to sit through lessons teaching

rules. Of course these lessons are frustrating! They go against your child’s very strong

desire to learn something themselves through exploration and discovery!

You now know why traditional approaches to reading instruction are painfully slow and

dangerously ineffective…

And you’ve seen that the fastest, easiest and most natural way for your child to become

a confident reader is for them to discover the rules of reading and spelling by themselves…

So all you need now is a system your child can use to teach themselves to read and you’ll

have a very confident, excited reader!

And that’s why I’d like to introduce a revolutionary new mobile app for iOS and Android

devices that your child can use to teach themselves to read today called Frederick: Learn to Read!

Frederick is the world’s first and only way for children to discover the rules of

reading all by themselves, so they can become confident readers at the perfect pace, at

home or on the go, and even if their parents know nothing about how to teach reading.

Let’s take a tour of Frederick so you can see just how fun and easy learning to read

can be!

Frederick is designed like a video game, so it’s intuitive to navigate and never feels

like studying. All levels can be unlocked at any time by clicking on the lock icon on

the title screen, and you just click on the green play button to choose where you’d

like your child to begin. Let’s look at level 3.

This is “explore mode,” the first step in Frederick’s unique self-teaching system

where your child can use scrollable wheels to make their own words. They can also click

on individual letters to hear their sounds, to learn through discovery and play instead

of memorizing vocabulary lists or rules! Your child can even make “nonsense” words to

really understand the rules of reading, and prepare for more advanced vocabulary. The

“nonsense” word “rab,” for example, becomes part of the word “rabbit.”

See how everything is done for you so you don’t need to learn any theories or vocabulary

for literacy instruction? And notice how there’s instant feedback so your child is never waiting

for instructions, other students or some weekly classroom lesson? This is why Frederick gives

you the fastest way to teach your child to read, and why even a child with no knowledge

of English can pick up the app, start playing with it and become a confident speller and

reader almost overnight. And, of course, Frederick will give you even FASTER results if you use

it with your child.

After your child gets more familiar with how a level’s sounds work, things get even MORE

fun and exciting! Find 20 words in “explore mode” and they can test their knowledge

with simple games that PROVE they can read and spell!

This puzzle game tests listening and reading. Simply push the play buttons on the different

puzzle pieces and then drag the middle piece to the sound that matches the word. Show this

to your child and watch their eyes light up as they discover how to play it!

And here’s a popular blaster game that challenges spelling and reading skills. Tap the icon

in the lower left to hear the answer, and then shoot the correct word to prove you can

read!

There’s a lot more to find in the app, but I’ll show

you just one more thing very quickly. This game tests reading comprehension, and naturally

teaches pronunciation, sound blending and even grammar without your child even realizing

it! Let them read the text, choose the correct answer and feel their confidence grow! After

a bit of practice INSIDE Frederick, try asking your child to read something you’ve written

on a piece of paper. It’s like magic how fast they improve!

Frederick is one big puzzle, so you never have to force your child to learn! In fact,

they’ll likely ask to play it again and again. So be careful that they don’t play

it so much they drain your phone battery!

Levels progress without any sharp jump in difficulty, so even young children can go

from the alphabet all the way to advanced words like “anxious” and “orienteer”

in no time.

If this all sounds exciting, the best part is that you can try Frederick right now for

free! That’s right! FREE!

Levels 1 – 3 are completely free, and you can enjoy them as much as you like for as

long as you like to see how Frederick can work in your home at no risk.

And if you want access to all 35 levels, including all mini-games, and over 2,000 words and sentences?

Well, parents have paid THOUSANDS of dollars for the same training in the classroom…

But right now, since we just released Frederick, you can upgrade to get access to everything,

which can help your child learn more in DAYS than most children learn in YEARS in typical

reading classes at school, for just one payment of only $19.99! Amazing, right? It’s just

one payment, with no hidden fees and no monthly payments. Plus, you get free upgrades! There’s

also an EVEN BIGGER discount you can find in the app, but I’ll leave that for you

to discover on your own!

Remember that many schools will not help your child build the essential skills they need

for a future that’s only getting more competitive. So to see them holding up a great report card,

and to hear them say they want to read a book instead of watch TV, it’s up to you to give

them the best preparation and personal support possible.
