Hello.
Is there a podcast for encouraging a child to read? My 7yr old is starting to sound out words. She is just now showing interest in reading.
And yet it seems like there is no interest. If there's too many letters, she doesn't want to sound out the words.
For me, it's frustrating.
I would like to encourage her where she is.
Thank you.

Hi, Thank you for reaching out with your question! Here is a link to a helpful post on determining the child's current skill level in reading and what they may be ready for! If she is feeling overwhelmed and frustrated perhaps the chosen resources are too difficult for her and she would be more confident and successful at a lower level of practice for right now. As you said, meet her where she is!

You will see linked there the resources that SCM recommends for teaching reading. This will include the "Delightful Reading" kits which are available at three different levels as well as the "Pathway Readers." Please reach out with any additional questions you may have about these resources.
Here is a post specific to those early years of learning to read for your encouragement.

The more I learn about Charlotte Mason, the more I realize that my mom was a Charlotte Mason mom and didn’t know it. 😂
