Because the right book can make the difference between “I can’t” and “I can.”
You’re not alone.
So many parents watch their child try their best…
sound out the words…
turn the pages…
and still walk away confused, frustrated, or discouraged.
If your child struggles with reading, it’s often not because they “aren’t good at it.”
It’s because the books they are reading don’t match what their brain needs right now.
Here are three hidden reasons reading can feel so hard:
1️⃣ The words are too hard
Your child spends all their energy trying to sound out words — and has nothing left to understand the story.
2️⃣ They can read the words but not the meaning
Longer sentences, new vocabulary, and tricky ideas make comprehension break down.
3️⃣ They don’t have enough background knowledge
So nonfiction, school assignments, and even some stories feel confusing or overwhelming.
And when this happens, kids start to think:
But here’s the truth 💛
Most of the time, it’s not your child — it’s the book.
When kids read books that are the right match for where they are:
- They understand more
- They feel more confident
- They enjoy reading again
- And their skills grow faster
And you don’t have to be a reading teacher to help.
