Description

Prepping Parents is your go-to podcast for supporting your child’s early reading at home. I’m Danielle — teacher, author, and parent, joined often by Jess, a teacher, parent and MSL expert. Together, we break down phonics and the science of reading into short, practical, 10-minute episodes. This is not a course to teach your child to read. It’s just parents who love phonics and want to upskill others! Whether you’re driving home from work or juggling daily life, you’ll get simple tools and tips to help you confidently support what your child is learning at school. You’ve got this!
