For some children, the road to reading can be a smooth fast track. For many, it is a road with a few bumps here and there, and for some, it can be a slow meandering road trip that takes many, many detours along the way. If you are new to homeschooling or your student struggles, teaching your child to read can feel like an overwhelming or daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. In this week's episode, Carrie shares three simple components to helping your child get on this road to reading as well as time-tested (and research-based) lesson planning tips, resource recommendations, and engaging activities to use. This episode is perfect for moms with younger students, late bloomers, and struggling readers. If you already have a house full of independent readers, listen anyway and come back in a few weeks for how to plan and teach high school literature and composition. Pour yourself a cup, put your feet up, and join Carrie for this little coffee break! Just breathe.....Your child will learn to read.
