Episode How to Teach Reading When the Standard Way Fails (+ 3 programs that work for parents)
We’re often told by schools to trust the process, but when your child is guessing at words and struggling to spell simple things, that advice feels empty. If you’ve been searching for how to teach reading in a way that actually works, you’ve likely realized that more of the same isn't the answer.
Today, we are moving past the overwhelm, ignoring the advice to be patient and looking at practical, evidence-based ways to support how to teach reading to kids who have been left behind.
After listening to this episode, you’ll:
1) Identify the hidden reason why your child is "stuck".
2) Explore three parent-friendly programs that explain exactly how to teach reading without a teaching degree.
3) Use the "Purple Challenge" to finally understand the problem with a widely accepted reading program.
