Summary
She did everything right. Surrounded her kids with books from birth. Read aloud every night. Was even an elementary school librarian. Her first daughter tested at 12th-grade reading level in kindergarten. Her second daughter? Barely hanging on. In this episode, Janssen Bradshaw—founder of Everyday Reading and co-founder of Savvy Learning—shares how her two daughters had completely opposite reading experiences, even though they grew up in the same book-filled home. She opens up about the moment she realized something was wrong, the simple intervention that changed everything, and why flexibility in education is the greatest gift you can give your kids.
