Unlock the potential of your child's education with insights from our guest, Joanna Meliti, a seasoned homeschool mom and co-founder of Home and School Tutoring Pods. We promise that you'll gain valuable strategies for supporting children with learning difficulties in reading and math. Joanna shares her personal journey and expertise, offering practical tips for using phonics, manipulatives, and real-life experiences to create a rich learning environment. You’ll discover why it's perfectly okay for your child to read at their own pace and how tools like "Phonics from A to Z" can guide you in this rewarding journey.
In this episode, we explore the foundational elements of literacy and the surprising role of reflexes in education. Joanna delves into phonemic awareness, rhyming skills, and the building blocks of reading, likening them to constructing a house. We also discuss the impact of retained primitive reflexes on learning, such as how they can affect skills like writing and reading. Joanna emphasizes the importance of addressing these early with specialists such as occupational therapists, providing you with actionable activities and resources to support your child's development at home.
Finally, we journey through the world of customized homeschooling, where Joanna highlights the power of personalized learning and community support. Learn about the benefits of multigrade learning pods and how they foster peer teaching and collaboration. Embrace the adaptability of homeschooling with strategies tailored to each child's unique needs, including creative tools for overcoming learning challenges. Joanna encourages parents to be their child's biggest cheerleaders and to seek professional help when needed, ensuring a nurturing and successful educational experience. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube for more insights, and remember the inspirational message from Proverbs 22:6 as we wish you a radiant homeschooling adventure ahead.
