Summary
Join us for RAR's Summer Adventure.
In this episode, I’m answering more of your questions.
You’ve sent in some fabulous messages and I’m going to tackle them rapid-fire for you and answer as many as possible today.
Today I’m sharing about when to use Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) or teach composition, when and how to start using the library, and what to do when a teenager doesn’t enjoy reading.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why you don’t need to rush your kids into composition, and what I do instead
- Strategies for handling books you’d rather your kids didn’t check out of the library
- How to encourage older, dyslexic kids in reading
