Desperate for Help: My 8-Year-Old Sister’s Learning Journey
Confession time: I never thought I’d be the one holding the chalk, but here I am, a 19-year-old in a whirlwind, trying to homeschool my 8-year-old sister. She’s never set foot in a real classroom—life’s twists and turns have kept us moving, and school just slipped through the cracks. Now, I’m her teacher, her sister, and sometimes her biggest obstacle. She knows a sprinkle of math, a dash of vocabulary, but reading? That’s our Everest.
I’ve tried everything from flashcards to Abcmouse, but her attention vanishes faster than cookies at a bake sale. My mom says I’m too strict, but I just want her to catch up. The clock is ticking—she needs to be in school soon, but she’s nowhere near ready for third grade. I’m begging for advice, resources, or even just a little hope. Maybe you’ve been here? Maybe you see something I don’t? Drop your wisdom below—let’s help her climb this mountain together! 😅📚
What would you do if you were in my shoes? Any magic tricks for teaching reading? Let’s swap stories and solutions!
