If your child struggles with reading and you can see the frustration in their whole body… you are not alone. ❤️
So many kids who struggle with phonics and fluency are not fighting the words. They are fighting something deeper in the brain that no one ever explained to you.
Here is the part that makes parents stop.
🧠 Reading depends on how the brain listens.
🔹Timing
🔹Rhythm
🔹Pitch discrimination
🔹Auditory Processing
When those systems are shaky, reading feels like climbing a mountain every single day.
The hopeful part: These listening systems can be strengthened with gentle, therapeutic music that helps the brain feel calmer, more organized, and finally ready to read 📘🎧
