I was asked to say something about how homeschooling moms can help children who are having trouble reading. This is my method. This is how I taught reading to my grandsons. One of them was being put back in Kindergarten for the 3rd time, during the October of his first grade year. My daughter appealed to me since she was getting nowhere with the school system. He learned in 4 hours! We worked with him in other ways and he excelled. Then, I used the same method on the second grandson who had different problems and then compounded with a serious brain injury from a car accident. He went on to a private Elementary with no one ever knowing he had had a problem. He was on the honor roll for the next two years.
Don’t let bad method be the reason that your child learns that he is stupid or that she is “learning disabled.” Of course, some problems may need some help by skilled professionals, but teaching reading in a sensible, organized, multi-sensory way is a reasonable place to start.
Here is how.

Please! Share with moms who are beginning to encounter difficulties with their children’s academics! Also home educators, especially if they are having trouble teaching their children to read, will benefit. They feel so alone. Here is help! We will lay things out in a fairly orderly way. They want to know… please tell them it is here, now.
MomLife Today : “How do you combat the constant influences on your teens from the unrelenting stream of media?
Reading Bedtime Stories to Teens
“Teens” is not a typo. I’m not talking about reading to toddlers, although I could write passionately about the value of reading to little ones. Today I want to challenge your thinking about teens.” — MomLife Today www.momlifetoday.com
Interesting. Yes, of course we read to our tots. This might be a creative, bonding experience. Finaly something as engaging as that ubiquitous smartphone. I could also, however, see some young people saying “Lame!” How about everyone reading to everyone? My sister and I read a great historical novel to the parents on a long vacation drive. Maybe the whole family could agree to read a young adult novel of one sibling’s choice in a rotating fashion? Maybe this could be an intimate girl time for mother and daugther with commentary and discussion on women’s issues? Hey, maybe we could even revive the idea of reading to grandmother! What do you think?
