Note sull'episodio

Bonus episode: I'm reading you the first chapter of my book "Of Course I Can Read, I'm Not Stupid: What 100 Podcast Conversations Taught Me About Unschooling."

Before unschooling even had a name in our house, I was the mom with colorful alphabet cards on the living-room wall, an app for every subject, and a one-hour-a-day learning deal my son only did for me. In this chapter I share why I quit teaching on my very first day, how I slowly stopped being his enemy and started being his coach, and the day he picked up one of my old childhood books and read it out loud, fluently. His answer gave this book its title.

📚 The study: Suggate, Schaughency & Reese (2013), "Children learning to read later catch up to children reading earlier", Early Childhood Research Quarterly 28(1): https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/62808/
