In this episode, we explore why reading aloud is the first answer for any disability, difference, resistance, struggle, overwhelm or doubt in your homeschool.

We explore 6 definitions to answer the question, “What is language?”
We answer why reading aloud is the first answer to various learning or behavioral challenges in homeschooling.
We dig into 5 areas of neurodiversity noting some (not all) of the struggles with that learning difference and how to use the child’s strengths associated with their learning difference to access and approach reading aloud. Learning differences discussed: autism, non-verbal, adhd, dyslexia, and hearing-impaired.
Reading aloud is the first answer to homeschooling challenges because it is a low-demand approach for any struggle you and your children are experiencing in a particular season because it is relational. Reading aloud together builds (or repairs) relationships by facilitating understanding of not only the content, but one another.
On a hard day. Drop the drainers, pick up a book and read aloud together.
