In this insightful episode of Empowering Homeschool Conversations, host Peggy Ployhar, Founder & CEO of SPED Homeschool, sits down with Marianne Sunderland, a seasoned homeschool mom and creator of Homeschooling with Dyslexia.

Marianne, a mother of eight children—seven of whom are dyslexic—has years of firsthand experience navigating the challenges of homeschooling children with language-based learning challenges.

In this episode, Marianne shares practical strategies for teaching students with learning difficulties that extend beyond traditional books and curriculum. The conversation touches on everything from understanding what it means to have a language-based learning challenge, to alternative teaching strategies, to creating the right learning environment.

Marianne offers tips on how parents can encourage a love for learning in students who may feel frustrated, and how to help students thrive academically and emotionally. Tune in to explore creative, effective methods for teaching struggling learners, and gain valuable insights from Marianne's personal journey of homeschooling outside-the-box learners.
