In this video, I unpack how our current education system (and even well-meaning parents) can accidentally make reading feel like a chore instead of a joy. We’ll explore what actually causes kids to disconnect from reading — and how to reignite a love for books at home. If we truly wanted kids to hate reading, we’d do exactly what most schools do: skip phonics, rely on guessing strategies, push leveled readers, and treat reading like test prep. But when we teach with intention — through phonics, decodable readers, and connection — we build confident readers who love learning. ✨ You’ll learn: ✅ The 7 ways we accidentally teach kids to hate reading ✅ Why guessing and leveled readers create long-term reading struggles ✅ The connection between literacy and freedom ✅ Simple shifts you can make today to raise a child who loves to read 🎧 Listen to the full podcast episode: [insert link] 📘 Explore my Letters & Sounds Curriculum → [insert link] 🕵️‍♀️ Try The Letter Mysteries course → [insert link] 👇 Subscribe to the channel for more videos on: Early literacy and phonics Homeschool foundations Raising confident, curious learners K3 Homeschool Foundations Resources: Science of Reading Simplified Ecourse 5 Foundations of Reading Ecourse Skill-Based Literacy Curriculum (start here if you're not sure which level to choose) Level 1: Letters and Sounds (Parent Led) Level 1: The Letter Mysteries (Video Led) Level 2: Beginning Reader Level 3: The Sound and Spelling Guide Get the first 2 letter lessons for FREE Get the first 5 Reading Lessons for FREE Your Guide to Teach High-Frequency Words Get the first 10 lessons to teach high-frequency words for FREE The Literacy Clarity Plan- Work one on one with me to create a det…","meta_description":"Most kids don’t hate books — they hate the way reading is taught.
