The reality
Parents want to help.
Life gets in the way.
Life gets in the way.
⏰
Practice gets skipped
Between work, dinner, and homework — reading practice is the first thing that falls through the cracks.
📉
No way to measure progress at home
Parents don't know if their child is improving until the teacher calls.
😟
Falling behind quietly
Children who struggle rarely say so. By the time it shows, they're already behind.
