READING SUPPORT for Parents of Struggling Readers
At My Schooldog, we support parents who are struggling to help their children learn to read. Our reading support is created for English-reading families – with or without a dog. We are currently developing a range of services designed to give families practical guidance and motivation:
Online screening sessions
– to help identify possible reasons why a child may be finding reading difficult.
Parent discussion forum
– a safe space to share experiences, explore solutions, and find ways to boost your child’s reading motivation.
Mini-courses with home reading activities
– enjoyable family-based exercises to strengthen reading skills and rekindle the joy of reading, with or without a dog.
Ask-us email support
– send us your questions about possible next steps or practical ideas if your child is struggling with reading. We’ll do our best to help.
We take a holistic approach to understanding each child. Lack of reading motivation can have many different causes. Our services are designed to support parents at the starting point of their journey – helping them understand what their child might need and connecting them with others in similar situations.
Ultimately, the child’s school and local professionals provide the most important long-term help and follow-up, and we aim to complement that support in a positive, caring way.
