With my oldest I really struggled with giving her time to be ready to learn to read. I was a panicked first time homeschooler, terrified of screwing up. I also didn't understand what 'I' was doing wrong, why she didn't just pick up reading, because I LOVED reading as a kid. Every day was filled with tears and aggravation on both ends. I have grown a bit more patience and adjusted our curriculum to fit her needs, even though it feels slow to me. Also, we took lots of breaks this past year (due to a complicated pregnancy) but I honestly feel like my kiddos grew SO much! I was shocked honestly because it's the least we've ever done bookwork. My oldest finally started reading (when she feels like it 😅)
This was great. Thank you!! We have definitely had struggling readers and thrive learners.
You're so welcome!
Your channel is a blessing to find amongst all the sh*t about HS on TH-cam! Thank you!
Happy to help!

Really it’s so hard NOT to panic! We all want them to succeed so bad but sometimes the greatest gift to give them is time ❤️
I just found your channel, and I want you to know I really enjoy your content!
I'm so glad! Xo
