Hi Sarah. Hi Sarah. My name is Holly. Hi Sarah. My name is April. I'm in Melbourne, Australia.

I have a question about my name is Julie Ann and we live in India. I am wondering,

Hi Sarah. This is Crystal from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Can you give me a suggestion for an especially fabulous book?

Hey there. I'm Sarah McKenzie. This is the Read-A-Loud Revival. And in this short episode,

I'm answering one of your questions. Hi Sarah. My name is Marissa. I've got an almost 12-year-old

daughter who has dyslexia and ADHD. She is getting tutoring for dyslexia. She doesn't read much on her

own. She has done audiobooks while following along with a hard copy, but she hasn't chosen to do that

for any other reading as far as I know for a long time. So I'm trying to figure out how to help her

with her reading life when reading is really hard for her. Thanks. But hey Marissa. Okay well I love

that you are asking this question because it means obviously that you're invested in her becoming

somebody who loves to read and wanting to invite her into that experience instead of just

dictating it for her and hoping that she finally lands on loving it. You're already doing a lot of

right things I can tell. Having her listen to an audiobook while she's reading the words on the

page is an excellent way to do that. And it's okay if she's not choosing to do that for fun. One

thing that's really important to remember is that as human nature is just that we don't usually

choose to do things that are really hard for us. And for dyslexic kids and for ADHD kids,

sitting and reading a book is harder than it is for kids who aren't dyslexic and who aren't

dealing with ADHD. That's just how it is. And so it's going to be harder for her. So the fact that

she's not choosing to do it with her free time, I wouldn't worry about that too much. I would,

however, carve out space and you're probably already doing this, but I'm going to suggest it just

in case it slipped off your radar. Carving out in a space maybe twice a day if you can even

maybe 30 minutes at a time to do that audiobook and reading with her eyes at the same time. So
