Teach your child to read in 30 days.

I have found a system to teach your child to read in 30 days. I have been concerned about the seeming inability to read of my children who are about to start first grade school. They had been attending pre-schools since they were about 2 years. I was told that they needed to be in pre-school classes so that they would not lag behind other children when time came to start first grade classes.Click Here! Imagine my fright when I discovered that they were not able to read in spite of the pre-school attendance preparatory to first grade. This story will inspire you to teach your child to read in 30 days too, if you are having worries about your child’s reading skill.Click Here!

A drastic action

I was well aware of my children’s inability to read but I expected the school to remedy it in good time. But no, as long as their fees were paid they saw no urgency in the matter. So, I had to withdraw my children from school to teach them at home just when they should be starting first grade.Click Here! I was afraid that my action might actually be jeopardizing their situation. Yet, I knew that unless they learnt to read and comprehend, they would be hugely disadvantaged, not only as first graders, but probably the rest of the way through school. I was hard driven, as you would to teach your child to read in 30 days.Click Here!

My alarming discovery.

I did not know where to start. When I sounded the children out I found that they actually knew a lot of things. They were loaded with stuffs in their heads, but there was no order - no method, no pattern. Mark you; this is good but, in my view, not necessary at their level. They were teaching them as if they were grade scholars; but without the needed basic foundation, and they were making them to cram, that is, memorise.Click Here! So, all they had in their heads were not by cognition at all. They made the kids cram stuffs, including the A, B, C and 1, 2, 3 so as to make their school look good. I had to learn fast, as I expect you would to teach your child to read in 30 days.Click Here!

I took corrective steps

• I began attempting to deprogram them from cramming by engaging them in reading, beginning with 2-letter words. As I did this the enormity of the task dawned on me – having to teach your child to read in 30 days. These people had left my kids all muddled-up.Click Here!

• I searched the internet for resources and guidance and was lucky to get some useful clues and pointers that would also enable you to teach your child to read in 30 days.Click Here!

• To teach your child to read in 30 days you would go shopping, as I did, for home teaching equipment like white-boards and markers, portable numbers and alphabet boards with removable numbers and letters. Click Here!

• Then I turned to their school books and was surprised to see that the texts actually support the strategy I had adopted. I taught them by the sounds of the letters of the alphabets (phonics), which we know are split into vowels and consonants. All these have sounds; some silent, some audible. Knowing and identifying these sounds facilitates the child’s ability to form words. And so, this is a way to teach your child to read in 30 days.Click Here!

• Then; just when I discovered how you’d teach your child to read in 30 days, I rammed my head into the children's sheer stubbornness and unwillingness to cooperate with me because they have been used to memorizing and guessing.Click Here! Not withstanding my passion, I was put off and discouraged. I had discovered what had to be done and I knew how it's to be done, but the psychology of the children stood in the way. Also, I discovered that I am often too busy to teach them; so their lessons suffered.Click Here!

• I employed and engaged private home teachers hoping that they would have a handle on the general matter of reading, as they are professionals and all. (Their fees; paid monthly, are higher than regular school term tuition, considering that a term runs for three months). But that's not the problem; it is rather that I seem to have a better perspective than them of how to teach your child to read in 30 days.Click Here! I have briefed them three times now and would really hate to have to send them back to their agency. I know that Board certified teachers who are open to this kind of engagement may exist, but until I find any, I’ll be making do with these ones. You can see that you too can teach your child to read in 30 days.Click Here!

• I also know that there are teachers specially trained to teach your child to read. It is better to employ them because they would know how to get past the child’s psychology and make the program a holistic package.Click Here!

The benefits

I am now confidently re-enrolling my kids into a school for next term and I am sure now that they will cope adequately. This has been for me a real demonstration of the strategy of taking a step backward to build momentum.Click Here! Taking a drastic action like mine to teach your child to read make certain that school will no longer be dreadful for any of our children.Click Here!

If God Died Today How Would You Cope?

I have just had one of my psyching moments with my six year old son. I tried to impress on him the importance of making the most of my time with him, since I might not be with him forever! And then this thought occurred to me:

‘If God died today what would I do? Have I done my best with my moments with God? Have I made the most of my relationship with Him? If God were to die now, have I learnt enough of Him to keep me going straight without getting into a mess?’ ‘am afraid not!

With our earthly relations time eventually comes when we must part by irreconcilable differences or death, and we who are left on earth’s realm soon learn to move on without them; in spite of an occasional regret that we had not made the most of the time we shared in life. However, life itself seems to gradually grow us into people not closely attached for the sole purpose of making it easy for us to carry on with life without each other. For instance, parents should reflect and see how they begin to be detached from their adorable new born as they gradually develop into regular humans manifesting hate-able traits occasionally.
But can we do without God, ever? Yet, supposing we were to have Him taken away from our lives for an indefinite time, what would we wish we had covered effectively with Him that might enable us keep going on our own?

Whatever comes to your mind as you think on this matter go ahead and set it straight with God right away for time might be short. There is indeed a scripture that refers to the eventuality that there would be scarcity of the presence of God in the future: people would be seeking to see Him but He would not be found!

As I distress myself over my six year old son’s playfulness (and, of course, he is only a child, I know) so I believe God is grieving that a lot of us are playing away our time with Him instead of taking advantage of His wealth of experience on matters of life!Click Here!

God's Morality





“Let us with a gladsome mind

Praise the Lord for He is kind

For His mercies aye endure

Ever faithful, ever sure!”

There comes a time in life when we must declare openly what we stand for, what we believe, what we are willing to die for. I have been a Christian, a practicing Christian since Easter of 1987, but I have pretty much allowed those whom I have come in contact with ever since to determine their own standard of morality and godliness. I have never really pushed anyone to up his level of dedication. Perhaps, I was avoiding being seen as a spoil sport. But God’s word is immutable whether we feel good about it or not.

We must be born again, God states in His word. Born of the Spirit and Water; and repentant of our waywardness, we’d be reconciled with God and enabled to live right. This enablement comes from our believing, accepting and confessing the lordship of Jesus Christ over our life and situation.

With Jesus we have nothing to prove really. He asks us to come as we are. He gave an analogy that only the sick needs a doctor. In the same thought, it is implied that we cannot wait till we clean up ourselves by ourselves before we go to Him. If we could do that, we would not be needing Jesus. Come as you are, he said. We who are burdened and are heavy laden are encouraged to lay down our oppressive weight and take up His yoke which is easy in comparison!

Come to Jesus today. Whatever good thing you have going for you that you think giving in to Him might take from you will only be enhanced and embellished with beauty if you give things up to Jesus.

I have been through so much that could have destroyed me in these few years of mine, but I am still standing, looking forward to every new day. I am no hero. Jesus is the One who has made this happen for me. And am sorry to all the people I have encountered in my life to whom Jesus would have made a difference; but I kept Him hidden so you can feel good about yourself, though you should not. I have failed you gravely and I ask for your eternal forgiveness.

‘What has it profited me trying to be a nice guy but you risk being damned because I failed to stand in the gap…’

Please, come to Jesus so you may find life. Buy a complete Bible and read it through till you get it, then find a church that agrees, in the main, with what you have read. Go there to fellowship with the members and with God to form Christian relationships, and not because you are looking for miracles. Although, miracles will fill your days hence and you may not even be aware of them because they are not your focus. Give your life up for others in whatever way Christ instructs and you will find meaning, satisfaction and glory!
