230 Daniela Feldhausen: Speech Sounds and Reading Are Linked. Fun Ways Parents and Educators Can Help

Hey Friends~

Do your kids hate reading? Wouldn’t you love it if they LOVED READING? Or… better yet, what if you knew how to teach them… from the start… to LOVE READING?

In this episode, we talk about the foundations that give the confidence and skills needed to build strong reading early on. This episode is targeted towards both parents of struggling readers and early readers. You will have amazing insights into what the connection is between reading and speaking. We will talk about the foundational threads that connect them both… which means… being strong in these strategies, builds BOTH!

If you know of a parent or teacher who may benefit from these research - based interventions, strategies, and insights, please share this show! Also, I would be delighted if you follow, share, subscribe and leave a review!

Always cheering you on!

ABOUT THE GUEST:

Former DC attorney, Daniela Feldhausen realized that her true passion is teaching kids to read. As the founder of Kids Up Reading Tutors, she’s built a team of 20 specialists who help students all across the country overcome dyslexia, dysgraphia and other reading challenges.

Their approach is evidence-based and efficient. Students typically get caught up to their classmates in months rather than years. This accelerated progress stems from rigorous application of current research into how students learn to read and spell, sometimes referred to as the "Science of Reading."

They’ve developed a structured literacy program that is then tailored to each student's specific needs, combining phonological awareness, Orton-Gillingham-based phonics and systematic spelling instruction. Their one-on-one virtual sessions create a judgment-free environment where struggling readers develop both skills and confidence—turning "I HATE Reading" into "I LOVE Reading!"
