“You must be dreading Monday”

Not even a little bit 🤍

A week of sunshine, slow mornings and time
with my boys was exactly what I needed.

BUT tomorrow Miss B is back 🐝

Back in the studio, back with our superstars and back to doing what I love most.

Term 4, I’m ready for you.

👉🏼 Comment TERM 4 if you’d like a spot this term.

What I’ve been up to the past few days while something new quietly takes shape 🥹

Little moments, slow mornings and a lot of thinking time. I’ve hidden a few clues in these photos about what’s coming next.

Can you spot them? Drop your guesses below 😱

What do you think of this approach? I would love to know!

“How do you manage it all?”

I don’t. Not the way it looks from the outside anyway.

There’s a business to run and kids who need me and a house that undoes itself the second I tidy it. Something is always slipping, usually more than one something.

Some days I get that lovely little window where it all lines up and I think yep, I’ve got this. Then there are the other windows. Me at 9pm staring into the fridge, trying to work out a better way to do nearly everything, because the current way clearly isn’t cutting it.

That’s the part that never makes the highlight reel. Running a business while being a mum and a wife with a whole household to keep alive is a proper juggle and most of the time I’m just quietly working out how to drop fewer balls.

Blocking a show on your child’s Netflix takes about two minutes. Working out WHICH shows to block is the harder part.

It is not always the ones you’d expect.

A loud, colourful cartoon usually isn’t the problem. The first thing we’d flag is the influencer, prank and challenge content that teaches kids doing something extreme is how you get views and a reaction. That’s what gets copied at home.

Some of it is quieter. Fast pacing that makes it hard to settle afterwards. Toy-unboxing that teaches little ones to want the next thing before they’ve played with this one. Sibling name-calling that turns up in your lounge room a day later.

So I put the whole thing in one place: the 5 steps to block any title on your child’s profile using Netflix’s parental controls, plus the shows parents ask us about most.

Swipe through, then SAVE it for the next time a new show appears out of nowhere.

You know English too well to remember how strange it once was.

So let me put you back in your child’s seat for a second.

You’re learning to read again, this time in a language that was never yours.

Greek, let’s say. Someone points to a symbol shaped like an upside down U and tells you it makes a sound. Which sound? It just does. Off you go.

That’s the whole explanation. Frustrating, isn’t it?

Now picture doing that all day, every day, then being told you’re behind because it won’t stick.

That’s about the closest most of us will ever get to what reading feels like for a child with dyslexia.

The squiggle and the sound haven’t been connected yet.

For a dyslexic brain, building that connection is so much harder and takes so much longer.

Here’s what I keep running into.

We expect a child to read and spell at a grade 2 level before anyone has made sure they actually know their letters and the sounds those letters can make. Skip that step and of course nothing sticks.

I’m working with a little boy right now, grade 2, who still can’t spell, because he doesn’t know all of his letters yet.

How is he meant to be “at a grade 2 level” when that first gap was never filled? His mum was told he wasn’t behind at all in prep or grade 1. He was.

So we’ve gone right back to the start. We meet him where he actually is, not where the year level says he should be. We find the gaps and fill them one at a time. And it’s clicking now, because it finally makes sense to him.

If this is your child, please hear me. They were never the problem.

We don’t teach spelling rules.

I’m a teacher, and honestly,

the rules confuse kids more than they help.

So here’s what we do instead 👇

Every sound gets one word to live in 

and the letters doing the job are the spelling choice.

So I say the word and the sound in it 

and my students find the spelling choice.

I say bridge, and the /j/ sound in it. They give me dge.

I say giant, and the /j/ sound in it. They give me g.

Then I show them the card to check.

Here is why it matters…

When they hand me dge,

they’re showing they know it’s a trigraph,

three letters doing one job.

That’s what carries them when words get harder,

because they’re working the spelling out,

not memorising it or reaching for a rule.

So a word like bulge stops being a “hard” word, it’s just one they can solve.

We refer to that one as /j/ (sound) as in cage. Where ‘ge’ make the /j/ sound.

That’s the whole goal.

Not more rules to remember and

a child who can spell on their own.

If reading or spelling has felt like a battle at home,

my free Sounds First guide gives you the exact way I teach sounds,

broken into small changes you can start tonight.
