Helping Struggling Readers Without Losing Yourself

Many teachers work tirelessly to support struggling readers—yet often feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or unsure why progress remains slow. When teachers understand why some students struggle with reading—and what is truly involved in the complex process of reading development—they gain clarity about where to begin and how to provide effective support for their learners.

As part of the educational consulting support I provide through Literacy Insight, I will be offering free monthly webinars designed to empower teachers with knowledge, practical strategies, and research-informed guidance to reduce frustration and make reading instruction feel more manageable and purposeful.

I will be hosting the first two webinars in this series in January.

📘 Webinar 1

Why Some Children Struggle With Reading: What Teachers Can Do About It

📅 Saturday, January 3, 2026

This practical, teacher-centered session explores common misconceptions about how children learn to read and clarifies early warning signs of reading difficulties. Participants will deepen their understanding of why some students struggle and learn realistic, classroom-based strategies that support struggling readers—without adding to teacher burnout.

📗 Webinar 2

Supporting Struggling Readers Without Burning Yourself Out

📅 Saturday, January 24, 2026

Building on the understanding developed in the first webinar, this session focuses on how to support struggling readers in ways that are both effective and sustainable for teachers. Participants will explore strategies that promote confidence and engagement while simplifying instructional routines and reducing instructional overload. The emphasis is on working smarter—not harder—so teachers can support learners while protecting their time, energy, and well-being. You can 👉register here.

If you are an early years, primary, literacy, or new teacher seeking practical, sustainable ways to support struggling readers, I invite you to register for these free webinars. School leaders are also welcome to share this opportunity with their teaching teams.
