Ep210. ft. Faye Casell - The First-Grade Literacy Crisis: Why Struggling Readers Fall Behind and How Parents Are Taking Control (Part 2)

Reading success is not just passing a test. It is confidence, comprehension, access, identity, and a child finally understanding how their brain learns. In Part 2, Mike Llerena and Faye B. Casell go deeper into the emotional and psychological impact of reading struggles, dyslexia, masking, anxiety, parent advocacy, and why families are increasingly taking control when systems move too slowly. Faye shares how parents can become empowered, how children can reclaim confidence, and why dyslexia should never be treated as a sign of low intelligence. This episode is for families who refuse to wait while their child loses confidence.
