🎧 Episode 1: Why Spelling Homework Isn’t Helping
Welcome to Therapy Thursdays! This week, Leta Palmiter tackles one of the most familiar—and frustrating—school night battles: spelling homework.

Is writing words 10 times really teaching our kids to spell? Or is it just performance with no purpose?

In this episode, we dig into:

• Why traditional spelling tests don’t build real literacy
• The science behind how the brain actually learns to read and spell
• What to do instead—like phoneme-grapheme mapping, word sorts, and real-world reading

If your Thursday nights are filled with tears and "rainbow words," it’s time to rethink homework. Tune in to find out how purposeful practice can build confidence, not just compliance.

Homework that matters. Spelling that sticks. Literacy that lasts.
