Reading Teachers & Interested Parents:
Certainly, if you have the time, you should read Linnea Ehri’s 160 research papers on how to teach reading effectively.
If you do NOT have the time, then this blog is for you.

Do whatever it takes to find your Ikigai
Then spend the rest of your life doing that
It’s simple, albeit not easy
But it sure as hell brings contentment
