*PARENT CONFIDENCE*
Why is parent confidence such a winning move? If your child sees your confidence, they will mirror it.
Their confidence will create the small wins that help them face new skills and reading challenges.Â
Let Me Be Your Daily *Spark* of Reading Confidence
If your kid is anything like mine, they tend to avoid reading at the risk that they might âlose.â When they are deflated, we feel like failures and often voice these frustrations:
“I don’t know where to start.”
“I can’t seem to move forward.”
“I’m frustrated with progress.”
Whichever frustration you feel right now, Iâve felt all of them at each stage of teaching reading (and sometimes all at once, eek!)
This is why my confidence AND my child’s confidence has come from game-based reading. There’s been nothing better than to watch my kids beam as they level up to the next essential reading skill! I want to be your daily spark of parent confidence. Together let’s develop compounding winning streaks!

Why Bother Teaching Phonics When There Are So Many Exceptions?
