60: Is The Way You Learned to Read The Best Way to Teach Your Child?

10/30/2023
Is the way you learned to read the way you should teach your child? If you're like me, you learned to read with a GIANT stack of flashcards and some leveled easy reader books. But is this really the best way to teach your child? After this class you'll know... - What to put on the flashcards so your child will have 90% less of them to learn (and how to make your child beg you to practice them instead of the other way around) - The secret skill that helps kids learn to read words instead of guessing (your reading curriculum probably doesn't include it, and this is what many kids with Dyslexia are missing) - The biggest mistake parents make when choosing books for their kids that slows down the process of learning to read Join the Homeschool Reading Community on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/469213028355642 πŸ‘‰ Learn more about Reading Better Together here: https://readingbettertogether.thrivecart.com/reading-better-together-curriculum/

Are you trying to raise a confident reader... but it just isn't working? If your child complains or outright refuses to read out loud at least 75% of the time, whines when it's time to practice reading, tells you they "can't do it" or that they "hate reading" or just gives up and guesses instead of trying to read words, you aren't alone. During this episode, we'll talk about why all these things are happening, and what you can do to help your child read with confidence.

48: The Biggest Secret to Teaching Your Child to Read (Even if You Aren't a Reading Teacher)

3/20/2023
As a homeschool parent, the process of teaching our kids to read can be intimidating. There are so many moving pieces, especially when teaching a language with so many rules (and so many exceptions to the rules!). The truth is that teaching reading is different when you're teaching your own child than it is with a whole class of kids in a school. As a former teacher and current homeschool parent, I'm here to tell you that there are a LOT more differences than most people think. In this class, I'm going to be sharing the biggest secret to success with teaching your own child to read (especially if you aren't a reading teacher). If you're teaching a child to read right now, or will be soon, you need to hear this!
