You've been told to just keep reading every night. Here's what that advice is missing.
For many bright, curious children in international schools, those 20 minutes have become a cycle of guessing, frustration, and "I hate reading." If you can see your child is capable and reading is still the one thing that isn't clicking, this workshop is for you.
What we'll cover
The Bright Spiral
Why decoding and comprehension must grow together, and what happens when that spiral breaks. Understanding this changes how you see everything your child is doing at reading time.
A New Home Strategy
How to step out of the "mini-teacher" role and support your child's reading confidence in a way that actually helps, rather than creating more pressure at the end of a long school day.
Summer Forecasting
Based on your child's profile, should this summer focus on targeted intervention, consistent practice, or is it the right time to simply build a love of stories? We'll give you a framework to decide.
This workshop is for you if
- Your child is in K–Grade 5 at an international or expat school
- Reading is not clicking and the school has told you to wait
- You've tried apps or generic tutors and seen limited progress
- Your family has moved countries and you've noticed a reading gap since
- Your child is bright in every other way but shuts down at reading time
