From "I Hate Reading" to "I Love Reading" with Daniela Feldhausen
Updated: Aug 12
Does your child struggle with reading and spelling? Are you wondering whether dyslexia or dysgraphia might be part of the picture, but you're not sure where to turn?
Daniela was recently a guest on the Pieces For My Puzzle podcast, and this episode is for you.
Nikki and Daniela talk about the Science of Reading, the early warning signs of dyslexia and dysgraphia, and the difference between general tutoring and the kind of targeted intervention that actually moves the needle. Daniela also shares practical strategies parents can start using right now, and why students who have always struggled can still become confident, capable readers.
Whether your child is just starting out or is an older student who has been falling behind for years, this conversation offers real answers and a lot of hope.
Give it a listen, and share it with a parent who needs to hear this.
