Episode 473: Homeschooling a Struggling Reader

Note: we are moving to an every other week podcast cadence

Once you understand why reading struggles happen, the next question is how to homeschool through them without burning out kids or parents. In this episode, we focus on what daily life looks like when reading is hard and how families make decisions around time, pacing, and progress. We talk about structuring reading lessons, protecting confidence, and knowing when to push, pause, or pivot. This episode is about sustainable practices that support long-term reading growth.
