When Reading Gets Hard is a troubleshooting guide for the moment a vague sense of "something is off" needs to become a specific answer. Maybe the child guesses at words instead of sounding them out. Maybe they read fluently but cannot tell you what they just read. Maybe every multisyllable word triggers a shutdown. This book identifies the 7 reading roadblocks that come up again and again in classrooms and living rooms and gives you the precise, research-backed strategy for each one, not a generic pep talk.
What's inside:
- A framework to help you pinpoint which of the 7 roadblocks a child is actually facing, instead of guessing
- Seven dedicated chapters, each with the underlying Science of Reading explanation, a step-by-step intervention, and a sample dialogue
- Specific fixes for: word guessing, sounding-out fatigue, comprehension without retention, fluency without expression, multisyllabic word breakdown, sight word confusion, and reading avoidance
- Guidance on what is typical developmental variation versus a pattern worth flagging to a reading specialist
- Classroom-ready and home-ready versions of every strategy, so the same chapter works whether you have one child or twenty-five
- A short progress-check tool to confirm a strategy is working before moving to the next roadblock
Who this book is for:
- Parents who have noticed a specific, repeating pattern in their child's reading and want a targeted answer, not general encouragement
- K–3 and upper elementary teachers managing mixed-level readers who need quick, differentiated interventions that do not require pulling a separate curriculum
- Reading interventionists, resource room teachers, and learning support staff building a toolkit of evidence-based, roadblock-specific strategies
- Speech-language pathologists and tutors looking for practical reading strategies that complement clinical work
- Homeschool parents troubleshooting a specific stall point in their child's reading progress
- Anyone who has searched "why can't my child sound out words," "reading comprehension problems," or "phonics intervention strategies"
Written by Anju Singh, M.Sc., B.Sc., B.Ed., PBDE — a Canadian educator with more than twenty years of classroom experience and deep specialization in the Science of Reading.
