As a teacher, few things are as heartbreaking as seeing a child struggle with reading. And I know, as a parent, it can feel incredibly frustrating and even disappointing when your little one isn't picking up words as easily as others. You might feel like you're doing everything right, yet the letters just seem to dance on the page for your child, leaving them feeling confused, or worse, "dumb." The idea of them repeating a grade often comes up, but let me tell you, that's rarely the real solution to a reading difficulty.
