248 Dr. Emily Levy: Effectively Teach Reading with Orton Gillingham & Multi-Sensory Techniques

Hey Friends~

What’s really happening when kids struggle in school?

“Trying harder” just doesn’t work! Many kids benefit from a multi-sensory approach to learn reading. It works because this actually matches how the young brain works.

If your child is bright but frustrated, resistant, or falling behind despite everyone’s best efforts, this episode with Dr. Emily Levy, will help you see those struggles through a new lens. You will come away with clarity, compassion, and hope that you can share with other parents and educators of young readers.

Always cheering you on!
