How to Teach Your Child to Read
Teaching your child to read can be a struggle! Not every child will easily learn this skill and it can definitely be overwhelming for homeschool parents. But the best advice is to acknowledge that not all kids learn the same way. So don’t fight against your child’s learning style – rather, embrace it!
Plus, realize that the more senses you engage in the learning process, the more your child will remember and understand. That brings us to using movement in teaching your child to read.
Using Movement to Enhance Learning
In this episode, Stefanie brings in her secret for making learning to read easy and fun – and that is using movement! Movement activities are perfect for those wiggly kids who have a hard time sitting still.
And as homeschool moms, we know that’s it’s a-ok to embrace the movement and engage our kids in kinesthetic activities to aid learning.
If you’ve been overwhelmed with a struggling learner, adding in the movement component may be just the thing that was missing. It may be the piece that helps it all finally click.

On episode 284 of the Homeschool with Moxie Podcast, we welcome educator and author Stefanie Hohl.
Stefanie has a Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Children’s Literature from Penn State and an MFA in writing for children and young adults from VCFA. After years of teaching preschool co-ops, a bit of homeschooling, and teaching her oldest four children how to read, Stefanie knew she needed a different method of teaching reading for her fifth child. After much research and testing, she developed the ABC See, Hear, Do Method. Stefanie loves to write books for kids, eat brownies, and organize her house. She also loves going on adventures with her rambunctious kids and their very silly dog.
