Is your child or teen reluctant to read? Do they struggle and stress through homework time? Do you feel helpless and unsure of how to help?
We invite you to our first in a series of informative chats about reluctant readers and how you can make a positive impact, especially with summer reading homework looming!
Shona in her own words:
I’m Shona and as a child, I struggled with reading and writing. I hated being asked to read aloud in class or to read a paragraph quickly. Everything seemed to take me longer compared to my classmates. Thankfully my mum was there to help, an avid reader herself (still to this day) she lured me into the world of books and I fell in love with all the places and eras I could visit within them. So much so that I graduated from university with a degree in English Literature! Now it has become my mission to help children and teens the way my mum helped me. Finding ways to leave the struggles behind them, so that who knows where it will take them!
