When Mara's daughter came home deflated, saying "they're making me read baby books in school," she felt that familiar parental ache. You know the one - when you see your child struggling and you'd do anything to fix it. That moment with her middle daughter, who had been diagnosed with dyslexia, became the catalyst for something she never expected: writing a book.

But this story isn't just about one mom's solution. It's about creating home environments where children with dyslexia can thrive, feel confident, and develop a genuine love for reading despite their challenges.

What You'll Gain from This Episode:

• Practical strategies for making reading less stressful and more engaging for struggling readers
• Understanding how to advocate effectively while viewing teachers as teammates in your child's success
