Note: we are moving to an every other week podcast cadence

Once you understand why reading struggles happen, the next question is how to homeschool through them without burning out kids or parents. In this episode, we focus on what daily life looks like when reading is hard and how families make decisions around time, pacing, and progress. We talk about structuring reading lessons, protecting confidence, and knowing when to push, pause, or pivot. This episode is about sustainable practices that support long-term reading growth.

Episode 473: Homeschooling a Struggling Reader

Note: we are moving to an every other week podcast cadence

Many families come to homeschooling because reading is not going the way they expected. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to have a struggling reader in a homeschool context and why reading difficulties feel so personal for parents. We explore common misconceptions, emotional traps, and how homeschooling changes what is possible for kids who need more time or a different approach.

Episode 471: Homeschool Tools for Traditional School Families

Homeschooling does not have to be an all-or-nothing decision. In this episode, we talk about how parents with kids in public or private school can use homeschool methods to support learning at home without replacing school. We explore who this approach is for, when it is most helpful, and how families realistically fit it into already busy schedules.

Episode 470: Homeschool Support for Kids in Traditional School

Now that we understand the strands of skilled reading, how do we actually teach them? In part two of our series on the Scarborough Reading Rope, we shift to practical strategies you can use at home to build decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. With examples for different ages and tools for supporting struggling readers, this episode will help you create a well-rounded reading routine that grows with your child.
