Learn to read for free!  Press release  of official launch

South Bend, IN (PRWEB) May 28, 2014  Help Your Child Learn to Read or Help Your Struggling Reader

Help a child learn to read before entering kindergarten or help a struggling reader with inexpensive online tutoring.  The creators of Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound Reading Program are pleased to announce the official launch of their unique, free, website and blog that teaches children to read using an experienced, encouraging teacher.  Sight and Sound Reading has been operating for just over a year, gaining a steady following and many fabulous reviews from homeschool blogs, moms, and teachers using their program.

Developed by Madreen Karle, a retired first grade teacher, and her daughter Meeghan Mousaw, who has a Masters in Special Education,https://www.sightandsoundreading.com///newsite instructs and tutors children to learn to read using phonics and the 250 sight words found in 80% of what children read. In each learn to read video, Mrs. Karle teaches the children to read a “story” composed of sight words which she introduces each day. Mastered through repetition and practice the child gains confidence in reading the new sight words before moving on to the next day’s story. Each video builds upon itself and in very short time, children feel confident and proud in their reading abilities –which helps drive their desire to learn. In the daily videos, Mrs. Karle weaves phonics, spelling, punctuation, comprehension and reading with expression into the lessons. Illustrations by ArtemisB make the stories and words come to life thereby reinforcing learning concepts and comprehension.

“If you search ‘learn to read for free’ on any search engine, there is no site quite like ours. Other sites may highlight phonics, or sight words, or use animation, but, we use an encouraging teacher to explicitly guide the child in learning to read,” explained Meeghan Mousaw. “We selected ‘YouTube’ videos as the best way to reach parents and caregivers who want to help their child learn to read but cannot afford the expense of a personal tutor. We also wanted to empower parents and show them that they can help their child learn to read.”

“As a retired teacher, and, more importantly, as a grandma of nine, I want to help children learn to read! Each day children can join me for a 15-minute session and fully master reading. Many children know me as ‘Mrs. Karle’ but I want to be a caring ‘grandmother’ in encouraging them to learn,” Madreen Karle added.

The site also offers helpful insights to teaching reading for parents and caregivers. Additionally, workbooks, sight word books, and completely scripted teachers’ manuals are available for modest prices. Teachers and homeschoolers will find these resources very helpful in tutoring beginning and struggling readers. Mrs. Karle’s website and products are extremely helpful for all students, especially students with special needs, and children for whom English is their second language. Teachers love the program because it is so easy to use, parents love the program because it is so easy to share, children love the program because it is so easy to learn.

Sight and Sound Reading has been operating for just over a year, gaining a steady following and many fabulous reviews from homeschool blogs, moms, and teachers using their program. More information about online program is available at: https://www.sightandsoundreading.com///newsite. Subscribe to Sight and Sound Reading through their YouTube channel.

According to the National Assessment for Educational Progress, 67% of fourth graders were at or below reading proficiency. The percentage is the same for eighth grade students. If children do not learn to proficiently read by fourth grade, they are not likely to improve. The creators of Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound Reading Program believe they offer a free solution to this national reading problem.

Madreen Karle is a master first grade reading teacher with over 30 years of classroom experience. She taught reading in a special needs and English as a Second Language classroom. After retiring she wrote a reading program to help others learn how to teach reading. She is a trusted educator and author of 5 books to help teach children to read and write. In addition to her books, she is a mentor for 3 websites that give reading teacher tips (Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound ReadingMrs. Karle’s Reading Patch, and Mrs. Karle’s Handwriting Patch). Through her teaching she learned that confidence was the key to learning to read. A child who is not confident at reading does not like to read and struggles to read. Mrs. Karle created “sunshine moments” to help teach children how to grow their confidence and learn to read.
Meeghan Karle Mousaw (Madreen’s daughter) has her Master’s in Special Education. She has 8 years experience teaching children to read online. In addition, she developed a curriculum to teach children handwriting called The Handwriting Patch. With the Handwriting Patch learning is fun because children learn to draw and learn handwriting at the same time. In 2019 The Handwriting Patch curriculum became an amazon best seller the first year it was released, helping thousands of kids learn handwriting with a unique, fun method. She is mom to 6 kids, each with differently learning abilities and struggles.
The Reading Patch was established by the creators of Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound Reading. Together they have been featured on the NBC media outlets and Parents Magazine online. Over the last 8 years in their online platform, Madreen and Meeghan have worked tirelessly with teachers, homeschoolers and parents looking to help children learn to read to become a trusted authority in teaching children to read and advocating early literacy skills. They often partner with other educational experts to deliver the most current information to the Reading Patch community.
