What do you do when your child is struggling with reading? Navigating reading challenges, dyslexia, or ADHD How do you find good books that fit your child’s interests? How do you turn your family read aloud into a time of connection rather than a battle?

In this episode, we discuss strategies to take the pressure off frustrated readers, ideas to support reluctant readers, how to find good books, and how to keep our book list organized! *Note: I want to make a distinction before we get started. This isn't an episode about how to teach a child with dyslexia to read. There are wonderful specialists and evidence-based approaches for that. This episode is about something different: how do we keep books, stories, and reading joyful when reading itself is difficult?
