Why Your Child Can Read but Still Struggles with Spelling (and What to Do About It)
Is your child a great reader—but a terrible speller? You’re not alone. Spelling is one of the most common pain points parents and teachers share with me, and for good reason: most of us were taught spelling the wrong way. In this episode, I break down why spelling is harder than reading, why memorizing weekly word lists doesn’t work, and how the Science of Reading offers a better path forward. You’ll learn: The difference between reading recognition and spelling production Why phonological awareness is the missing link for so many kids How to explicitly teach phonics patterns so they stick Simple parent scripts you can use at home to practice spelling the right way Why unlocking the “code” of English—not memorization—is the key to lasting success 👉 Whether your child is just learning to read or already flying through chapter books, this episode will give you practical strategies to help them become a confident speller too. 📌 Resources Mentioned: Free Assessment of the Six Syllable Types https://k3-homeschool-foundations.kit...
