Reading is a Human Right

📍 Welcome to Wisdom Wednesdays with Leta!
Today, we’re diving into a simple but powerful truth: learning must come drop by drop.

In this episode of Reading is a Human Right, Leta uses the powerful analogy of a sponge and a cup of water to explain why daily, consistent practice is essential — especially for children with dyslexia and other learning differences.

💧 Why aren’t kids “getting it,” even with good teachers and strong curricula?
 💧 What does it really take for learning to stick?
 💧 And how can five minutes a day make all the difference?

We’ll explore the neuroscience behind learning (featuring research from Dehaene, Ziegler, and the Case for Practice webinar with Chad Myers), and share simple, practical tools to help your child absorb knowledge one drip at a time.

🧽 Your child is not a broken bucket. They are a brilliant sponge.
Let’s stop pouring on pressure — and start dripping in support.

🎟️ Don’t forget — our Sip & Sway fundraiser is this weekend!
Join us to support dyslexia therapy access and learn how you can be part of the solution.

🎧 Listen, learn, and grow with us — one drop at a time.
