We all know that it can be a huge struggle for some kids to learn and thrive in the traditional classroom setting. No matter how many accommodations, adjustments, education and behaviour plans we implement - sometimes it's not enough.

What if we as parents, just say 'no more!'?
 
In this episode, I talk with Lydia Denker, the founder of The Homeschool Academy.

The Homeschool Academy gives parents an option to education their children in the comfort and safety of their own homes by offering parents live, interactive, online homeschooling support provided by Australian teachers.
 
The Homeschool Academy was born out of a need for something different for kids with differently wired brains, an alternative to the (some might say) outdated traditional education model.

When your child is not learning to read as expected, it can be a bit of a daunting experience for parents. There is no handbook that guides us through a process like this and it can seem like a maze to navigate through.
This episode will walk you through the five steps to get your child form struggle to success with literacy. 
We talk about:
When to diagnose? 
What to say to your child when they struggle?
What to expect from a teacher conversation?
And more.

In this episode I explain the importance of developing the part of the brain responsible for understanding how sounds make up our English language. It's called phonological and phonemic awareness and if your child doesn't have it - they are going to struggle with literacy. 
The good news is that these pre-literacy skills can be developed and strengthened and reading and spelling will begin to improve immediately as a result. 
In this episode I will teach you about the hierarchy of skills that are vital to reading and spelling development. I'll also give you ideas about how you can  develop and strengthen these pre-literacy skills with your child - at any age.
