  • Episode 5: Climbing Trees is a Pre-Literacy Skill

    Today I'm talking with Colleen from Wonder Roots, LLC. She's a mom, a homeschooler, and an entrepreneur, and she runs an outdoor enrichment program at two locations in Vermont. She recognizes the value in supporting the whole child and is, therefore, a fierce advocate for play. She's challenging the traditional structure of education and bringing amazing outdoor education programs to our little state of Vermont.

  • Episode 4 - Motivate your Reader with a Virtual Book Club

    Can you think of a time that you read something so juicy and amazing that you just had to share it with a friend? Maybe it was an article you forwarded or a book you recommended, but you were so engaged that you wanted to talk about it. That’s what we want for our kids when it comes to reading! We want them to become so wrapped up in the story that they can’t wait to share it with someone! I think we can achieve this with virtual book clubs!

    In today's episode I am going to tell how why virtual book clubs are awesome and how you can quickly and easily get one started. Make sure you check out my FREE Ultimate Guide to Starting a Virtual Book Club. 

    I'd love to know you're listening! Screenshot, tell me your takeaway and tag me on Instagram!

  • Episode #3 - The Sight Word Situation

    Sight words explained! By the end of the episode you’ll have a better understanding of sight words and high frequency words, why they are valuable and how to help your child learn them!

    Learning sight words is a critical skill for developing confidence and reading fluency. Since these are words we use a lot in our language, when children know them, they can read more, and thus become more confident readers.

    Take a screen shot and show me that you're listening! Share your takeaway on social media and tag me @readingtutorashley
