is falling further behind every year
avoids reading at all costs
stumbles over words
You've followed all the advice. But none of it's working.
Your child is old enough to be reading chapter books but still…
And I couldn't be cheering for you and your reader more.
Why? In a nutshell, I tried just about all there is to try when it came to helping my kids learn to read. If you’re here, I’m guessing you have too.
What I have for you: hope. And help, too.
Hi, I'm Anne.
certified reading tutor & mom of 2 (both with dyslexia)
Your child is capable. They're just missing crucial reading skills.
The good news...
When I dove into reading intervention, I realized something important: Our kids aren’t behind because they’re lazy or not trying hard enough. They’re behind because they’re missing crucial reading skills.
The answer isn’t to have our kids “read for 20 minutes a day” or pile on the pressure. It’s to help them finally make reading click.
Luckily for us, giving our big kids the reading foundation they need is a lot simpler than you think.
Finally, make learning so simple and doable (less than 30 minutes a day) that you and your child can do it consistently enough that they gain lasting momentum and real progress.
Keep it small & consistent
Next, learn what actually builds reading skills (and what doesn't) so you can spend your reading time on what works... and let go of everything that doesn't.
Focus on reading skills
It starts with a big deep breath and a whole bunch of clarity on why your kiddo is still struggling. Hint: It's not because either of you just need to try harder.
Lower the pressure
It looks like this...
There are three simple (and super important) things you can do at home to help your struggling reader gain the reading skills they're missing. And it all fits into a doable reading routine you can start right now.
In this free workshop, I’ll show you how.
Here’s what you should do next no matter what.
