Summer or school year tutoring?
When do you think reading tutoring works best: during the school year or during the summer? I hear both answers all the time. Some parents love school-year tutoring because support happens while the struggle is happening.Others prefer summer tutoring because there’s less school stress, less homework, and more room to focus. My take? The best time is usually as soon as a child is struggling — but I’d love to hear what you think. If your child needed reading help, would you choose: A. During the school year B. During the summer C. Both, if needed Tell me why in the comments.

Test Anxiety
We have a few students who read perfectly during their tutoring sessions, then bomb their reading test. Knowing it's a test triggers a lot of anxiety. What are your best tips for easing test anxiety, as a parent or as a teacher?

Test anxiety is more common than people realise, especially for kids who already feel pressure around learning. I’ve seen children read beautifully in a relaxed tutoring session… and then completely freeze the moment the word test is mentioned. It’s not that they can’t do it — their brain has just switched into “pressure mode.” A few things that can really help: 1. Remove the word “test” where possible. Sometimes simply calling it a “reading check” or “practice round” lowers the stress level straight away. 2. Practice in low-pressure ways. Reading together in the kitchen, in the car, or during everyday activities helps the brain connect reading with safety, not evaluation. 3. Break the moment down. Instead of focusing on the whole test, encourage the child to just focus on the next word or the next sentence. Small steps calm the brain. 4. Regulate before the test. A few slow breaths, a sip of water, or even shaking out the hands can help reset the nervous system. 5. Remind them: the test measures a moment, not their ability. Children often think a test defines them. Reframing it as “just a snapshot of today” can remove a lot of pressure. When children feel safe, supported, and not judged, their true ability usually shows up naturally.
Environment
I noticed the environment plays a big factor I’ve be working closely with my grandson teacher, One afternoon she told me I don’t understand your grandson I thank the teacher for telling me how ever this really pushed what I was thanking Homeschooling. Is anyone else doing homeschooling

Start here!
🎉 Welcome to Reading Skool! Hi everyone! 👋 I’m Paula, Founder of Reading Success Academy and the host of this community. I started Reading Skool because I’ve seen too many kids struggle with reading when the right support could completely change their future. This space is for parents and teachers to connect, learn, and encourage one another. You’ll find free lessons, courses, and live events designed to help struggling readers and kids with dyslexia succeed. 💬 Your Turn: I’d love to hear from you! What’s one challenge your child or student faces with reading right now? Or, if you’re a teacher, what’s one thing you wish parents knew about helping kids read? Drop your answer below so we can start the conversation—and remember, no challenge is “too small” to share. Every question you ask helps another parent or teacher here. 💡 Can’t wait to get to know you all! —Paula
