Helping your teen develop literacy skills looks a lot different in the high school years! So how do you decide your level of involvement and what areas to focus on?

I’m joined by seasoned educator and homeschool curriculum writer Julia Novoa to break down what literacy looks like in the high school years.

We’re bridging the gap between basic reading skills and sophisticated communication — with plenty of permission to modify, adapt, and individualize.

In this episode, we unpack:

• • How to move from phonics sounds all the way to essay writing
• • Signs your teen still needs literacy support (and what to do about it)
• • How to set up opportunities for reading comprehension
• • Why differentiated instruction isn’t a crutch, but rather, the best way to teach (and how to do that with book reports)

• 
  

  Whether you’re raising a budding writer or a reluctant reader, this one’s packed with the practical teaching strategies you’ve been craving!
