We’re excited to invite you to our next literacy workshop: “Helping When Reading is Hard: Practical Strategies Families Can Use”
Literacy Workshop:
Thursday, March 12, 2026
5:30 PM
RSVP here: bit.ly/HelpingLiteracy
If your child ever gets stuck on a word, reads slowly, guesses at words, or feels frustrated during reading time, this session is for you.
Reading support at home shouldn’t end in tears – for children or parents. In this workshop, we’ll share practical, research-based strategies you can use right away to build your child’s confidence while keeping reading time calm and productive.
We will explore:
- What to do (and what not to do) when your child gets stuck on a word.
- When to step in, and when to let them work through it.
- Simple ways you can support fluency and comprehension.
- How to match your child’s reading challenges with the right kind of help.
- Practical strategies for making family reading time more effective and less stressful.
You’ll leave with clear language to use, tools you can try immediately, and a better understanding of how to support your child without turning reading time into a power struggle.
